Inadvertently, the bomber B-47 with the atomic bomb aboard accidentally dropped the pin which would have released it during World War II. The bomb's critical component was still aboard the plane as it was heading to the United Kingdom.
The impact energy of a meteor was 173 Kilotons of TNT. That's ten times as powerful as the Hiroshima Atomic Bomb. It would have killed approximately 25 percent of the world’s population.
It is estimated that humans have farted 17 quadrillion times since the beginning of time. Average person farts fourteen times per day. It is common in Japan to sleep in public. Public sleeping is less risky than private.
People would often take photos of their relatives who had recently died in the 1800s. A photograph of a woman dressed in a headful of hair is the oldest known photograph.

One of the most absurd facts about the Atomic Bomb is that the key part of the bomb was still inside the plane. In addition, the atomic bomb would have killed everyone in the state of Pennsylvania.
A second bizarre fact is that the Atomic Bomb isn't all that was invented during the 20th century. Buzz Aldrin was Buzz Aldrin. He was the one who made the'magic' move.
FAQ
How does your brain control the functions within your body?
To ensure that they work together, messages are sent by the brain to other organs. The brain controls everything that happens in your body. It tells your stomach how to digest food and your lungs how to inhale oxygen; it also tells your arms, legs and feet to move.
Your brain is made up billions of nerve cell networks connected in groups known as neurons. Neurons communicate by sending electrical signals, called action potentials, on axons. Each neuron has its own cell membrane around its nucleus. Channels within the membrane allow ions such potassium and sodium to enter and leave the cells. Ion movement creates the electric charge that causes the neuron to fire.
Neurotransmitters are chemicals released when a neuron fires. Neurotransmitters bind to receptors on the second neuron, opening ion channels so ions can pass in and out of the channel. The second neuron also fires.
Neurotransmitter production occurs when a neuron in the presynaptic receives an impulsive signal from another. An impulse travels along a synaptic link between the two neuron. The transmitter binds to the receptors on the postsynaptic neural cell, which triggers the firing of that neuron.
For communication within the nervous systems, neurotransmitters are essential. They coordinate activity between the different parts of your brain.
What is one of the most amazing facts about the human body
Two eyes, two ears and two nostrils are part of our bodies. We also have four limbs: a mouth, nose, penis, and four limbs. That's right, we have more than 50 parts of our bodies, but one thing is missing. A heart.
A heart is a pump that circulates blood throughout the body. Blood travels through the arteries and veins, carrying oxygen and nutrients to the cells and removing carbon dioxide and waste products.
The heart pumps out approximately 5 liters of blood per minute. This is equivalent to a person drinking 2-3 cups coffee daily.
Blood flows through the heart 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. While sleeping, your heart beats close to 100 times per minute.
Because of the color and texture of their skin, you can tell if someone is healthy or sick. If you examine the skin closely, you will see tiny blood vessels called capillaries. These small vessels carry blood away from the large blood vessels in the skin back to the heart. The skin becomes blue-colored or purple when blood flow is restricted.
Red blood cells are missing in people with sickle-cell disease. Their blood becomes very sticky and hardened, leading to serious illness.
Bandages are used to stop bleeding after you have cut yourself. For the wound to heal properly, blood must continue to flow. Doctors place a needle in the wound and insert it through the skin. This allows blood to drain from the area.
Doctors can also insert catheters into the artery close to the area where the bloodclot has formed. This keeps the patient alive until the clot breaks up naturally.
What are the darkest secrets of Hollywood?
Hollywood is filled secret societies. Some are cult-like groups where members follow strict rules and rituals, while others are simply clubs for those who share common interests.
There are also other, more evil organizations that control large parts of the industry. These include the MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America), the organization that sets film ratings and RIAA(Recording Industry Association of America), the company that sets music licensing fees.
Many unions and guilds represent actors, directors writers, producers, and others. These large corporations control the majority of major film studios and television networks.
The fact is that regardless of how secretive any group may be, someone somewhere knows exactly who they are. But that doesn't mean we should fear them.
Instead, embrace them. Because they help us make better choices.
They also tell us about the movies that are most likely to succeed and which songs are most popular.
They allow us to make informed decisions about what we buy, watch and listen to.
We can trust their advice and we can ignore it if it contradicts our values.
We choose to ignore them and they become even more powerful. They are the ultimate judges of taste.
If you don't like their words, you can choose to ignore them.
Now let's take a look at some lesser-known yet very real Hollywood secret society.
And see why they're so important.
