- High heels first appeared in Persia, reaching Europe at the end of the 16th century. At that time, people believed that heels were very masculine, and they were definitely a great way to make a man tower over others.
- One of the most terrifying places on our planet is probably Lake Natron in Africa. Its water contains so much sodium bicarbonate that animals who die in or around the lake turn into calcified mummies!

- Humans are not the only ones capable of raucous bouts of laughter. Rats know how to laugh as well!
- If you prefer to keep away from jellyfish, don't ever visit Jellyfish Lake on Eil Malk Island, Palau.
