At 42.3 billion candela, the Luxor Sky Beam is the strongest beam of light in the world, using curved mirrors to collect the light from 39 xenon lamps and focus them into one intense, narrow beam. On a clear night, the Sky Beam is visible up to 275 miles away by aircraft at cruising altitude.
Each of the 39 lamps is a 7,000 watt Xenotech fixture costing about $1,200. When at full power, the system costs $51 an hour to operate, with $20 per hour of that just for its 315,000 watts of electricity. The beam has operated reliably since first enabled on October 15, 1993.
The lamp room’s temperature is about 300 °F while the lights are operating. Since 2008, only half the lamps are lit as a cost and energy saving measure.

So I recently learned of the Pirahã language, a language spoken by an indigenous people in Brasil called the Pirahã.
What I find most interesting about this language is that it can not only be spoken, but also whistled or hummed.
Other interesting features include having no words for colors, no numerals, and a lack of recursive grammatical structure. (Some of these are still disputed, though.)
