Humans
The English were forbidden from celebrating Christmas between 1647 and 1660 by Oliver Cromwell - who also had King Charles I beheaded.
Earth
Bore-hole seisometry indicates that the land in Oklahoma moves up and down 25cm throughout the day, corresponding with the tides. Earth tides are generally about one-third the size of ocean tides.
Machines
A car operates at maximum economy, gas-wise, at speeds between 25 and 35 miles per hour.
Nature
Strands of spider web are stronger than steel wire of the same thickness.
Mysteries
All of the clocks in Pulp Fiction are stuck on 4:20
Origins
One million, million, million, million, millionth of a second after the Big Bang the Universe was the size of a pea.
Theories
A proton weighs 1,836 times more than an electron.
Technology
90% of the energy used by a 1928 designed light bulb creates heat. Only 10% of the energy produces light.
Space
The first artificial satellite of the Earth was launched ten years before Sputnik 1, when Fritz Zwicky - a Swiss astronomer working in America - fired a ball bearing into space from a captured German V-2 rocket at the apex of its flight.
Random
Kids in the front seat cause accidents, accidents in the back seat cause kids.
