Some bizarre facts about the world

A B-47 bomber carrying an atomic bomb accidentally dropped the pin that would have detonated the bomb during World War II. The critical part of bomb was still on board the plane when it headed for the United Kingdom.

The impact energy of the meteor's impact was 173 kilotons TNT. This is ten times greater than the Hiroshima nuclear bomb. It would have killed approximately 25 percent of the world’s population.

Humans have farted 17 quadrillion trillion times since the beginning time. Average people fart 14 times per day. In Japan, it is common practice to sleep in public. When people sleep in public, they are less likely be robbed.

What dark secrets can Hollywood keep from you?

Hollywood is filled with secret societies. Many secret societies are cult-like and follow rigid rules. Others are just clubs for people with common interests.

However, there are many other criminal organizations that hold much of the industry's power. 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.

Numerous unions or guilds also represent producers, writers, actors, etc. Most major movie studios and television networks are owned by large corporations which own these various organizations.

The fact is that regardless of how secretive any group may be, someone somewhere knows exactly who they are. They shouldn't be fearful, however.

Instead, we should embrace them. Because they help us make better choices.

They tell us what movies will likely succeed, what songs will be popular, and what books will best sell.

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 arbiters and judges of taste.

They can be ignored if you don’t like what they have to say.

Let's now take a look into some lesser-known but very real Hollywood secret societies.

Observe why they are important.

Did you know that there are approximately 1.6 billion metric tons of trash produced every day in the world?

According to the United Nations there are more than 25 billion tons of garbage produced each year.

Many of this trash ends in landfill dumps, or incinerators. But what happens if those dumpsters are full? Where does all that rubbish go?Well, most of it gets shipped out of the country. It then gets dumped in foreign countries, polluting their ecosystems. However, now we know where all that trash goes. Mike Sexton is his real name. He is the founder of Waste Watchers. He watches over trucks that transport trash across North America. Then he reports back to us about what happens next.

Sexton says he finds his job very satisfying. "We've got a lot of fun," he told CNN. "We often see large rigs passing through our town and we will follow them. "Sexton began following truckers almost 20 year ago.

He stated, "I just fell in Love with It."

Sexton loved the story about the driver who pulled over at an abandoned gas station close to Los Angeles. Sexton described, "The guy was looking somewhere to put his load." "He drove down the road to see this building. So he pulled over and went inside. "There were two enormous roll-off containers filled with stuff. He took out everything and began to fill up the truck. "The man looked around the area and decided to unload all of it. There were many old tires, furniture, rags and mattresses. "It was just total chaos. But it was cleaned out before he came. There wasn’t trash everywhere."

What is the explanation? This particular spot used to be a recycling center. People would drive there to recycle their trash. Sexton said that people would bring their household items to the building and then leave empty containers behind.

You might see this happen hundreds of times a day. It can happen hundreds of time per week. Eventually, the truck is so full of junk it stops running. The owner eventually decides to dump the truck.

Trash isn’t the only problem we face on the planet.

Many of these tiny plastic pieces end up in landfills and incinerators. Some are washed into rivers and oceans. Others end up with fish in their stomachs.

Experts warn that if there is no change, the world could soon be facing a food shortage. "If we keep going like we're going, we're not going to make it," one expert warned.But even though scientists agree that the world is headed toward disaster, most people don't seem worried.

Is there a more mysterious place than the Earth itself?

Antarctica is one of the most mysterious places on Earth.

Why is this place so amazing? Because it is unlike anything else on Earth.

It is remote, isolated, and extremely difficult to visit. However, there's more to this location than meets the eye.

Some of the most bizarre wildlife species can also be found in this natural wonder.

So let's explore how this remarkable destination became famous for its mystery.

Antarctica, The South Pole

Antarctica is not known by anyone. Others believe it means "land with ice". Some believe it means "land of ice". Others believe it is Greek mythology.

Antarktis was an ancient Greek name that was given to the island where Zeus and his twin brothers, Zeus. According to legend, one twin was born in winter. Therefore, the name antarctic.

Others believe that the name comes from the Greek words anti meaning against and tropos meaning to turn. This would signify land turned away the sun.

Whatever the reason Antarctica has held a special fascination for people, it is undeniable.

It is the driest, windiest of all continents. Because it is so cold, there aren't any trees, plants or animals.

Yet, life is abundant in this frozen wilderness.

It is home to approximately 90 percent of all life on Earth. There are about 50% of the world's animal, plant and plant species.

What makes Antarctica so special? Here, water freezes into ice instead of evaporating into the air.

This causes large amounts of ice to float above ground.

These glaciers cover more than 80% of the continent. These glaciers are getting larger each year.

The Antarctic ice sheet has grown 60ft since 1960.

If the melting continues, the sea level will rise by up to 200 feet. It could result in massive flooding all over the world.

This does not mean that everyone is wrong. Some scientists claim that global warming could be good for us. They believe that global warming will lead to melting ice sheets faster and floods that can flush toxic chemicals out of our soils and bodies.

Others warn that this theory sounds like something out of a science-fiction movie.
