We live our lives without having any idea that owl cubs sleep horizontally, that Italian banks give loans secured by cheese, or that magnolia appeared so long ago that it isn’t even pollinated by bees.
We at Bright Side like to become privy to curious details and unknown facts that can both entertain us and help us to appear more cerebral in conversations. That being said, here’s a brand new compilation of super-interesting things.
Improper plant watering can result in excess water in the saucer underneath the flower pot. It attracts mosquitoes who serve as dengue fever carriers. It’s a dangerous illness that can be fatal, which is why Singapore apartments and houses can get inspected for this, resulting in a fine if the owners don’t follow this law.
Coca-Cola advertisements appeared in the 1930s. But it was in 1823 when Clement Clarke Moore created the image of Santa Claus wearing red and white. The idea was to make Christmas Eve a family holiday, and as we know, it worked.
What unexpected fact about an ordinary thing has surprised you recently?
About No.10 theese are not nails. Theese are tees. Used to elevate golf ball from ground for starting shot. Experienced golfers prefer bambu because if you plant it too deep clubhead might fail to lift it of ground then bamboo breaks on the impact and there for does not break the accceleration of the golf club nor deviates its trajectory.
The bit about croissants is false. First, most French people would die rather than use margarine (it's butter all the way). Second, the shape is the baker's preference, nothing to do with ingredients. Yes, I'm French.
In the Magnolia point, a 'not' needs to be added in 'it’s actually pollinated'.
Cheers!
the fact about popcorn is....surprising *_*
The fact about Brazil prison is strange, I like the idea but it's weird to remove 4 days, why such an odd number
yes quite odd, maybe it's to prevent people from counting it because 4 days makes it a lot harder to do by head :D at least for me
