Every Dutch Police Car Has a Teddy Bear in It


Dutch Police carry teddy bears with them on the job in case they need to help out a traumatized child.

There Is a Blonde Zebra in Africa


Zebras are famous for their striking black and white striped appearance, but there's one zebra that was spotted in Africa's Serengeti National Park that isn't like the others.

In February 2019, photographer Sergio Pitamitz came across an extremely rare "blonde" zebra. "At first I thought it was a zebra that had rolled in the dust," Pitamitz said. But scientists believe that the golden-colored zebra likely has partial albinism.

55
It's Illegal to Sell Photos of the Eiffel Tower at Night


The next time you visit Paris, be sure to take a few pictures in front of the Eiffel Tower like a proper tourist. However, you should be aware of the fact that while it's totally legal to snap pics of the tower during the day, it's illegal to sell photos of the tower at night. That's because the rights to the building's evening light show belong to the artist who created it, so the image is therefore protected under French law.

56
There's a Patron Saint for Dentists


Saint Apollonia is the patron saint of dentists and tooth problems. You can pray to her before your annual visit.

Hawaiian Pizza is Canadian


That pineapple-ham concoction named after America's most scenic state was actually invented in Ontario in 1962.

David Hasselhoff's Divorce Settlement Included Ownership of the Nickname "The Hoff"


David Hasselhoff

After David Hasselhoff found fame thanks to starring roles on TV shows like Knight Rider and Baywatch, he not only earned a nickname from fans, "The Hoff," he also became associated with the catchphrase "Don't hassle the Hoff."

And apparently, the terms are so lucrative and so key to his career, that when Hasselhoff divorced Pamela Bach in 2008, their settlement included the actor keeping the rights to both the nickname and the catchphrase.

59
The World's Longest Fingernails Are More Than Two Feet Long


As of 2017, Ayanna Williams, a resident of Houston, Texas, hadn't cut her fingernails in 23 years. They measure between 24 and 26 inches each.

Neanderthals Mass Produced Tools in a "Flintstone Factory" 60,000 Years Ago


Fred and Wilma may not have worked there in reality, but it turns out that there was, in fact, a "flintstone factory" 60,000 years ago.

Recently, archaeologists in Poland discovered a massive workshop that they believe was used by Neanderthals to make thousands of flint tools. Those working on the site found more than 17,000 stone items, making it the first large Neanderthal work area discovered in Central Europe that isn't in a cave.

61
A Shrimp's Heart Is in Its Head


A shrimp exoskeleton is divided into two distinct parts: one that contains its head, and one that includes the tail. The shrimp's heart is located in the former section, behind its face and stomach.

Scientists Believe They've Found Fossils from the Day the Asteroid Killed the Dinosaurs

Adams (age 90) and Jefferson (age 83) died the same day. July 4, 1826, Monore i(age 73) died July 4, 1831. Jefferson died 5 hours before Adams and not haveing radio, tv or internet Adams' did not know it. His last words were supposedly: "Thomas Jefferson still survives"

Yes, GuyBrushThreepWood, it's interesting to imagine life back then or for that matter at an earlier age and put it into perspective to what we have now.
