Who Is Better at flying?
Who Is better at flying? Birds or Bats?
Bats are better at precision flying and can fly through tight spaces. Their flight is more acrobatic, excuse the pun. They can make tight turns mid flight and fly through trees without hitting any branches.
Birds are generally better at long distance and high speed flights, their feathers are fine tuned to make flying efficient over long distances. They soar high in the sky and exploit thermals and changes in the wind.

Rock Age Paradox
If a rock on Mercury formed at the same time as a rock on Earth, the rock on Earth will be older than the rock on Mercury.
Why?
Because Mercury is moving faster than Earth and it is closer to the sun, the sun's gravity slows down time and so does speed. The faster you move, the more your time slows down. The more gravity is near you, the slower time passes.
It's a paradox because in the example, both rocks formed at the same time, but the one on earth is older.

Number 10 Downing Street
10 Downing Street is the residence of the prime minister : leader of the United Kingdom. It looks like a small terraced house but it's actually the size of a small village.
The part of the building you see the prime minister walk into is just a small part of a complex of buildings that are all joined together seamlessly. The space behind the front of the building back out some distance and contains offices, apartments and conference rooms. There is even a large hall for parties.

Trafalgar Lions
The lions in Trafalgar Square were all made with different moulds so they're all slightly different, they're looking in different directions. But they all weigh more than 20 tones.
They were created in 1867 by sir Edwin Landseer.
There is a myth that if Big Ben rings 13 times, they will come to life and protect London. The myth was mentioned as a joke by Pedro Pony in peper pig. Most people didn't get it though.

British History Changed by Bacteria
One of the worst Kings in British History is Charles the 1st. He caused a 9 year long civil war in England and countless deaths. Eventually he was executed for treason. Did you know king Charles the first had an older brother. His name was Henry Frederick and he died at the age of 18 before he was crowned because he caught Typhoid Fever, a disease caused by a very common Bacteria.
A common species of bacteria changed the history of Britain. Many historians agree that Henry Frederick was much more popular and less provocative than his younger brother and would most likely not caused a prolonged civil war that created mayhem across the country.
There is no way to prove this is true but we can agree history changed because of Bacteria, his older brother would have made different decisions and judgements so everything would be different.
