I start out by this: The coins from Super Mario if they are as most people asume, gold, they would weigh 4,5 ton. And in US dollars that would be worth 228 000 000 usd. So being a plumber in Italy is not as bad as you think. ;)

The praying mantis is a very close relative of the cockroach.
A cockroach can survive for a week without its head.
A cockroach can also survive the fallout from a nuclear explosion (just not the explosion itself, of course).
Cockroaches have been made into the world's first commercially available cyborgs.

Until 1965, driving was done on the left-hand side on roads in Sweden. The conversion to right-hand was done on a weekday at 5pm. All traffic stopped as people switched sides. This time and day were chosen to prevent accidents where drivers would have gotten up in the morning and been too sleepy to realize that this was the day of the changeover.

If you're shocked by a low-current tesla coil, you won't feel any electrical shock! This is because the tesla coil changes current direction faster than your nerves can detect. So you won't feel any pain until a few hours after the shock, when your body starts noticing burns in your tissue.

Otherwise the electronics are prone to overheat and fail, potentially causing a fire.

I'm just putting in perspective, the actual energy was only 50 joules, but that's coming from a sub-atomic particle, whose mass is extremely small! So when you convert it to a 1kg particle, moving at the same speed,BOMB it becomes much more.

When you drink something cold (i.e. water or soda, etc) it solidifies the fats and oils that you take in, which in turn end up absorbed by your intestines and become fat cells, flab, and in rare cases can end up developing into cancer.
Drinking something warm/hot with your meal will actually help your body absorb the correct nutrients and expel the other stuff, keeping oils and fats traveling through your system so they don't get absorbed. As a bonus, it'll be easier to take a dump.

And you've probably said, "why don't they just use a pencil?" Which you thing would be the most simple option.
But actually not! Pencil leads are made of graphite, which is a highly conductive material. The risk is that graphite particles can find their way into all sorts of hardware on board, and cause fires.
The moral of this story: don't go sketching in space.

The average person makes about 1hp while riding my bike.
If you translated that into electricity, it would be about 400 watts In the real world.
That is the same amount of power your laptop takes while charging.
You could think of it this way; it would take 260 of you to do the same amount of work as a F150.

The Kelvin scale starts at "absolute zero", where there is no temperature at all. Other than that, it is identical to Celsius (the difference between 0 K and 1 K is the same 0 C and 1 C)
All matter has a wavelength nature, that is you have a wave!
However, for large objects like a baseball, this wave is very small.
In order to diffract a baseball it would need to be almost 0 degrees K and be moving one atomic radius per age of the universe.
There is no integer that is the sum of two other integers cubed (NO whole number satisfy a3 + b3 = c3);
1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + ... = -1/12. (LIMITS)

Did you know that because of this you get PAL systems and NTSC.
NTSC runs on the American 60Hz and was designed for black and white televisions.
PAL was for Europe, but was designed to be able to run Colour images.
NTSC would have to be worked on before colour worked properly, but this is the primary reason we have region locks.
However these days you'll find that most devices have built in power transformers that'll run 50-60Hz and 100-250v which effectively lets them work anywhere over the world with only the need for a socket adapter

While it is no longer the case, New Zealand was once governed as a part of the territory of New South Wales (later a part of Australia). When Australia federated in 1901, New Zealand was offered a place as one of their states. New Zealand refused and is its own country with no ties (other than economic and commonwealth) to Australia.
A kiwi is not a fruit – it is New Zealand’s native flightless bird and a slang term for a New Zealander. Kiwis call the fruit “kiwifruit” – they are also known as Chinese Gooseberries.
New Zealand was the first major nation to have universal suffrage. In 1893 it became legal for all male and female citizens of New Zealand to vote.
New Zealand was first discovered by Europeans in 1642 when Dutch sailor Abel Tasman arrived. He left New Zealand after several of his crew were killed by Maoris, and it was not until 1769 that English Captain James Cook arrived and mapped the land.
New Zealand is one of only three countries that have two official (and of equal standing) national Anthems. The first is God Save the Queen (the English National Anthem) and the other is God Defend New Zealand. The other two countries with two anthems are Denmark and Canada which both have a Royal Anthem and a State anthem.
Another native bird of New Zealand (the Moa) was one of the largest birds in history – standing up to 3.6m (12 foot) tall and weighing 300kg. Unfortunately they were hunted to extinction by the Maoris by the end of the 1500s.
New Zealand was the first country to have its three top positions of power held simultaneously by women: The Prime Minister (Helen Clark), the Governor General (Dame Silvia Cartwright), and the Chief Justice (Sian Elias).
New Zealand has a strong hold on the international trade in sheep meat. There are presently around 9 sheep to every 1 human in New Zealand (the population of New Zealand is 4 million).
Wellington, the Capital City of New Zealand is the southernmost capital city in the world.
New Zealand was forced out of the ANZUS (Australia, New Zealand, United States) alliance in the 1980s when it outlawed nuclear arms and power. To this day, there are no nuclear power stations in New Zealand, and a change of law would be required before one could be built. New Zealand retains its military ties with the United Kingdom.
New Zealand has one of the most liberal media arenas in the world. Distinctly left wing versus right wing press is not as obvious there as in other nations.
New Zealand is a fairly liberal nation with homosexual marriage being legal and prostitution, soliciting, and brothel keeping being legal. The driving age is 15.
the consensual sex age is 16, and the drinking age is 18 (though minors accompanied by adults are allowed alcohol in restaurants).
Lake Taupo (one of New Zealand’s most popular tourist destinations) was the source of the largest known eruption in the world in the last 70 thousand years. It had a Volcanic Explosivity Index of 8. It released over 530 cubit kilometers of magma.
New Zealand was the last major landmass to be populated (with the exception of the polar regions).
New Zealander and Nobel Prize Winner, Ernest Rutherford is known as the father of nuclear physics for his orbital theory of the atom.
Sir Edmund Hillary – the first man to reach the peak of Mount Everest was a New Zealander (born in Auckland) and his face is on the New Zealand $5 bill.

Desert is referring barren land with little vegetation; it doesn't need to be hot and sandy. Could also mean a place with little to no population. Both of those definitions fit Antarctica perfectly.

The Finns, who were not starving, soon dubbed the RRAB-3 cluster bomb "Molotov's bread basket", and named the improvised incendiary device that they used to counter Soviet tanks the "Molotov cocktail", as "a drink to go with the food".
In 2005, Finnish cuisine came under heavy fire from two leaders of countries renowned for their cuisine (Italy and France). The Italian prime minister Silvio Berlusconi claimed that "I've been to Finland and I had to endure the Finnish diet so I am in a position to make a comparison." Berlusconi started his anti-Finnish food campaign in 2001. He went on: "The Finns don't even know what Parma ham is."
Later, in 2008, the Finnish pizza chain Kotipizza (Homepizza) won the America’s Plate International pizza contest in New York, while Italy came in second.
They named their award-winning smoked reindeer pizza Berlusconi as symbolic payback for the critique Finnish cuisine had received from the Italian prime minister earlier.
...Never let it be said that Finns have no sense of humour :'P
