Your Cat Would Eat Your Corpse

 

If you pass away in your home and you have a pet cat, it will eat some of your corpse if you're not discovered. Your cat will jump on your chest because they can hear your heart beating and they can tell when it stops. They can also hear you breathing so if you stop breathing, the cat will know because their hearing is much better than ours and they can hear all your body functions. This information is confirmed by police officers that respond to discoveries of bodies in their homes, they have small portions of their bodies consumed by their cat. 

The good news is you won't care because you're not alive. It's not an act of malice, it is just the cat feeling hungry and eating to stay alive: the cat wants to survive. It would also help with the smell because there would be less rotting body mass. 

Unusual Chemicals

Water Silicon and Gallium all expand when they solidify. Most materials shrink when they solidify if they're melted. 

Gallium is the only metal that expands when it solidifies. It melts slightly above room temperature at 29.76 °c. It melts in the palm of your hand and if it is in a rigid airtight glass container, it would break the container when it solidifies again.

Nintendo is older than you Think

Nintendo was founded in 1889—making the company over 135 years old.

Long before making video games, Mario, or Game Boys, Nintendo started as a small business in Kyoto, Japan, manufacturing handmade Hanafuda (Japanese playing cards). They went on to run playing card tournaments, operate a taxi company, run a chain of "love hotels," and manufacture plastic toys before eventually transitioning into electronic arcade games and home consoles in the late 1970s.

True First Flight

The first human flight was in France in 1783 in a hot air balloon. This means it predated the American constitution when they were officially recognised as a nation with a government. 

The first human flight occurred at the same time America formed into a nation.

It wasn't a powerd flight like the wright brothers but it was still a flight.

The Americans declared themselves independent in 1776, then around the same time they won the war against the British, two french men flew in a balloon in Paris. This was  just before the American constitution in 1787. 

Charles Manson and The Beach Boys

Brian Wilson's  song never learn not to love by the Beach Boys was created by Charles Manson the Leader of the Manson Family murder cult. 

Before Charles Manson got his followers to go on a killing spree, he met Brian Wilson, a band member of the beach boys and tried to get him to add one of his songs. Eventually he agreed but changed the lyrics and name of the song. The song was originally called cease to exist, the tune was identical but they played it in their own style. 

Fusion Cricket Ball

If you were to throw a cricket ball at 10 million miles per hour (a small fraction of the speed of light) , it would cause the air Infront of it to undergo a nuclear fusion reaction. The ball and the air Infront of it would turn into super heated plasma and detonate as a thermal nuclear explosion. 

The thermal nuclear explosion would vaporise everything in the area including the ball and the person throwing the ball along with the air in the ball's path.

The good thing is no one can ever throw a ball that fast, the energy required to push the ball at that speed would be enormous, perhaps comparable to the output of an entire power station over a short period of time. 

War Of The Worlds Movie Fact

In 'War of the Words' 2005 directed by Steven Spielberg, the grandparents are played by the stars from the original war of the words movie. 

The Grandparents in the 2005 war of the words are played by Gene Berry and Ann Robinson.

They were the main stars of the 1953 version of the movie directed by Byron Haskins. It is hard to tell they were the original stars because they were aged and only appeared for a short time. 

Cartridge Based Arcade Machine

If you were wondering if there was an arcade cabinet that took cartridges: now you know.

The neo geo MVS arcade cabinet could take six neo geo cartridges. They worked differently to to the home console one and had a different shape but the games were the same code and quality. 

Instead of buying a new arcade machine, the Neo- Geo MVS could have new games or versions of the games added as cartridges and the Marquee could also be swapped out so it stayed up to date with the new games. 

Flag Flip

The meaning of some flags change when they are flipped over. 

If the Philippines are at war, their flag is flipped upside down so the red side is at the top and the blue side is at the bottom. The people in the Philippines know what it means. 

If you flip the polish flag 180 °, it resembles the Indonesian flag. The same is true of the Indonesian flag, if it is flipped upside down, it resembles the polish flag.

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.
