If you have two arms,you have more arms than world's average Yes, this is true. But it does not mean half of the population in this world has only one arm. The fact lies in the realm of Mathematics. Let's imagine a small town of 2,000 people. Now let's say one of them only has one arm. So the total number of arms is 3,999. The average number of arms per person is: number of arms = 3,999 = 1.9995 number of people 2,000 So 2 is above average! We can now see that 1,999 of the people in our small town have an above average number of arms. They have 2 arms and the average is 1.9995.

In each house lives a person with a different nationality. These five owners drink a certain type of beverage, smoke a certain brand of cigar and keep a certain pet.

In 1976, J.J Van Dijk (an archeologist) found an ancient babylonian tablet dating to around 1500 BCE that was inscribed with several riddles. Unfortunately the first half part of the ‘Yo Mama’ joke was not included on the tablet but the punchline was. The riddle that has most captured the imagination is cryptic, but unquestionably involves something sassy being said about somebody's mother: “...of your mother is by the one who has intercourse with her. What/who is it?” That's not the end of the funnies, folks. This one could also benefit from cranking up the laugh track: “In your mouth and your teeth, constantly stared at you, the measuring vessel of your lord. What is it? Beer.” So there you have it: an ancient beer joke. (At least, a riddle referring to its taste, the authors say.) Perhaps something has been lost in the translation through all those many centuries. And since they were meant as riddles designed to communicate truths about life

Cianciulli was born in Montella. While still a young girl, she attempted suicide twice. In 1917 she married a registry office clerk, Raffaele Pansardi. Her parents did not approve of the marriage, as they had planned to marry her to another man. She claimed that on this occasion her mother cursed them. The couple moved to Pansardi's native town, Lauria, in 1921 where Cianciulli was sentenced for fraud and imprisoned in 1927. When released, the couple moved to Lacedonia. Their home was destroyed by an earthquake in 1930, and they moved once more, this time to Correggio, where Cianciulli opened a small shop. She was very popular and well-respected within her neighborhood. Cianciulli had 17 pregnancies during her marriage, but lost three of the children to miscarriage. Ten more died in their youth. Consequently, she was heavily protective of the four surviving children. Her fears were fueled by a warning she had received some time earlier from a fortune teller, who said that she

STANISLAV PETROV In 1983, the world came closest to a full scale nuclear war between Russia and the US. Back then, Russia's nuclear early-warning system reported that a missile had been launched from the United States, followed by up to five more. Stanislav Petrov, the duty officer at the command center at that time, was tasked with observing the satellite early warning network and notifying his superiors of any impending nuclear missile attack against the Soviet Union. If notification was received from the early warning systems that inbound missiles had been detected, the Soviet Union's strategy was an immediate and compulsory nuclear counter-attack against the United States. Petrov dismissed the warning as a false alarm. He deduced that a first-strike nuclear attack by the United States was likely to involve hundreds of simultaneous missile launches in order to disable any Soviet means of a counterattack. His suspicion was confirmed when no missiles arrive
Jupiter Doesn't Technically Revolve Around Sun When smaller objects orbit bigger objects, the smaller object doesn’t travel around the larger in a perfect circle- both objects orbit a meshed centre of gravity. In a way, they meet in the middle. This isn’t the case with Jupiter. Jupiter is about 2.5 times the mass of all other planets in our solar system combined, which means its heavy enough that the centre of gravity between the Sun and Jupiter isn’t actually inside the sun but just above the sun’s surface. Essentially, because the gas giant is so hefty its centre of mass with the Sun lies 1.07 solar radii from the middle of the sun- 7% of a sun radius over the surface of the sun Source: NationalGeographic
