During the Finnish winter war, after Russia claimed that "they weren't bombing Finland, just making airborne food deliveries to help ease the starvation", the bombs became known as "Molotov bread baskets".
The Finns were extremely grateful for their neighbors kindness, and decided to offer them a drink in return.
And that's how the Molotov cocktail got its name.

I know a similar-ish yet less-violent story like it xP


Finnish food was once publicly heavily insulted by Italy's back-then prime minister Silvio Berlusconi.
Finland later won a international pizza-making competition (with Italy coming in second place), and decided to name the winning pizza "Pizza Berlusconi" as "revenge"


Yeah, Finns have a weird sense of humor >->'

Steven hawkings new theory of the apparent horizon says that their are no black holes as we originally thought and their are no singularities instead he has proposed the apparent horizon so their are now 3 possible things that could happen to you once you pass the event horizon or apparent horizon

During 1983 a Soviet early detection system for nuclear attacks reported a potential strike inbound from America, in the confusion that followed the Soviets were poised to make a retaliatory strike, everything was in order to fire back but one of the two officers required to engage the counterattack refused for whatever reason. In the end the incoming attack did not happen and it was later found that the system had malfunctioned. If the soviets had launched a strike nuclear war would likely have followed, thanks to one individual this was averted. (This is off the top of my head so names and some details may be slightly off but the even did occur, scary thought  <.< )

The average adult dog has 42 teeth: 22 in the mandible or lower jaw, and 20 in the maxilla or upper jaw. In each jaw there are 6 incisors, 2 canines, and 8 premolars. There are 6 molars in the lower jaw and 4 in the upper jaw. In adult dogs, approximate age can be determined by checking the wear on the incisors.
