There was a similar thing in That 70’s Show.

If you were to leave Earth at the age of 15 in a spaceship travelling at the speed of light and spend 5 years in space, then when you return back to Earth, you would be 20 years old but all your friends who were also 15 years old by the time you left would be 65 years old now.

Scaphism is an alleged execution method practised by the Ancient Persians. The victim was placed in a hollowed out log or boat with their hands and feet tied to each end. Next, the victim was force-fed milk and honey until they vomited on themselves, before their bodies were smeared with the same two aliments they were forced to eat. This would attract various insects and vermin, who would devour them over time.

A 15th century painting depicting the skinning of corrupt judge Sisamnes in the year 500 BC.

Sisamnes was a corrupt royal judge from the time of Cambyses II in Persia. It was discovered that he took a bribe in court and passed an unfair sentence. As a consequence, the king ordered him to be arrested as a prevaricator and ordered that he’ll be skinned alive. His skin was used to upholster the seat in which he had presided over the trials, and in which his son, Otanes, had to sit, whom Sisamnes chose to replace him. Otanes was forced to remember the origin of leather so that he would take it into account in his hearings, deliberations and sentences.

If you try to poke a cat’s eye, it closes it as you try to do so.

The more you tease a cat with a toy mouse its eyes start to widen

42.7 million US households have at least one cat.

When you close your eyes, what you see isn’t black, it is actually a dark gray color called “eigengrau”

When you cross eye your eyes everything goes blurry for until you uncross them.

When you apply water on your hand it then means you have a wet hand.

Smiles are nothing more than a shit-faced reaction to schizophrenia.

USS Wisconsin’s Christmas lightings has more light output than Disneyland and is so bright, it can be seen from space.
