facts to blow your mind. Upon their return to Earth in 1969, the Apollo 11 crew,
including Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin, were quarantined in a special facility for three weeks. As being the first humans on the moon, it wasn't known if they'd bring back any mystery moon germs or not. In 1918, pink was the color for boys, because it was a stronger color, while the delicate blue

$300,000 dollars per year to study the body
language of world leaders, like Vladimir Putin. There's an animal called
the rough skinned newt, who's skin produces a
toxin called tetrodotoxin, that is so potent that it's approximately 10,000 times stronger than cyanide. Don't go near that. The North Korean government is one of the largest counterfeiters
of US $50 and $100 bills. These bills, called Super
Dollars, are so close to the real thing that
they've been referred to as "just US dollars not
made by the US government." The average tree is made
up of about 99% dead cells, with only about 1% actually
being alive at any given time. Humans are not appropriate prey for great white sharks,
because their digestion is too slow to cope with the high ratio of bone to muscle and fat. This boat, created in 2010 by
French artist Julien Berthier, was created from an
abandoned yacht that was designed at a 45 degree
angle, to look like it's perpetually sinking... super cool! In 2007, animal handlers at the Oregon Zoo walked an elephant named Chendra around the zoo, where she stopped at the sea lion exhibit, and made a friend with the sea lion named Gus. A 2010 study conducted

peaceful city in Southeast Asia, by killing multiple drug

Punisher by Time Magazine. He's a pretty controversial guy. This is the unbroken seal on
Tutankhamen's Tomb from 1922. It remained untouched for 3,245 years. In 2012, Amy Jung and
her son rescued Pudding, a tabby cat from a shelter. That same day, Amy had a diabetic seizure, and the cat saved her
life by bringing her back to consciousness, and then
running to her son's room, pouncing on him until he woke up to call for medical assistance. How cool is that? So, adopt small animals, they might save your life. There is a secret swimming
pool in the Mojave Desert that anyone can use, if you can find it. There are no roads, trails, or signs leading to it... good luck. Colonel Sanders disliked
what the KFC Franchise had done to the food so much, that he described it as

expensive license plate. I wish I had the money to spend

BC, where swordsmen would greet each other with
their weapon hand free, showing no sign of a fight. In the 1960s, Alcatraz was

water showers for its inmates. The logic behind it was
that prisoners who were acclimated to hot water
would not be able to withstand the freezing waters of the San Francisco Bay
during an escape attempt. Switching from one dollar
bills to one dollar coins would save American
taxpayers approximately $4.4 billion dollars
over the next 30 years. This is because coins
are significantly more durable than paper bills, and have to be replaced much less often. In 2014, New York City
announced plans to turn all of its old phone booths
into WiFi hot spots... finally! 85% of Chinese people
share only 100 surnames. In fact, Li and Zhang cover 13% of the entire Chinese population. In the late 1970s, Richard

but if they were unlocked, he saw it as an invitation
to enter... that's creepy. Chefchaouen is a small
town in northern Morocco, that's known for being covered almost entirely in blue paint. That's pretty cool, I
wanna visit that place. The American street gang, the Crips, were originally formed in 1969 as a neighborhood watch, to eliminate criminal gangs by force... how ironic. Hitler planned to rebuild
Berlin after World War II into a Neo-Roman cosmopolitan city. It was going to include several ambitious architectural projects,

was 290 meters tall, and 250 meters in diameter. The avocado is the world's
most nutritious fruit, with over 25 essential nutrients. So, as it turns out that extra guac isn't just tasty, it's good for you! There's a man in New York
City named Raffi Stepanian, who mines sideway cracks for gold. Before you laugh, he makes anywhere from $500 to $800 a week, so
yeah, who's really laughing? Since the 1990s, Carmel,
Indiana has been replacing all signaled intersections
with roundabouts. Since then, injury accidents have dropped by 80%, total accidents have dropped by 40%, and
construction costs have dropped by $125,000 dollars per intersection. In Medieval Ireland, between
the 5th and 15th century, murderers were given to the

murderer if they so chose. According to scientists,
the average cumulus cloud weighs approximately 500,000 kilograms. That's one big ass cloud! Albert Einstein's brain

eyeballs for, like, what? Dennis Rader, also known as
the BTK Killer in Kansas, installed alarm systems
as part of his job. Ironically, some of his

them... that's just creepy. Dubai is building the
world's first indoor city, called Mall of the World,
with air conditioned streets, a massive 743,000 square meter mall, and many other luxurious amenities. Walt Disney planned his
own city, where everyone could be employed and working
for Disney in some way. In return for paying rent,
they would get a home and would always be ensured
the latest of technology. Can we still, like, make this happen? Because that sounds great. Coyotes and badgers hunt together. The badgers dig up the prey,
and the coyote runs it down, kind of like a hunting
partnership of sorts. In 2012, the elderly couple
of Mr. and Mrs. Bo Jin, in the Jiujiang province of China, refused to sell their home
to make way for a road, so the government built it around them. There is a pet king penguin
in Japan named Lala, that is owned by the Nishimoto family. Every day, he walks into town
by himself with a backpack, collects fish from the local
market, and then walks back. In 2005, the DEA reported
seizing $1.4 billion in drug trade related assets,
and $477 million dollars worth of drugs... now
that sounds impressive, except the total value
of drugs sold in the US is as much as $64 billion dollars a year, meaning that the DEA
has an efficiency rate of less than 1% at intercepting the flow of drugs into and within the US. As of today, that rate
still has not improved. After his success in
the Harry Potter films, Rupert Grint, who played Ron Weasley, bought a 1974 ice cream truck to fulfill his childhood dream of
becoming an ice cream man. He uses it to drive around

awesome, but also kinda creepy! A man named Bob Kerstein
originally purchased Windows 2000, which at
the time Microsoft wanted. However, it just so happened
that Microsoft owned bob.com, which Kerstein wanted, and they ultimately came to an agreement to trade one for the other. In northwestern Venezuela,

that strikes at, get this, 280 times an hour, or 1.2
million times per year. The British Navy uses Britney

to shoot their weapons. In the 1960s, Orville Redenbacher paid an advertising company
$13,000 dollars to come up with a name for his popcorn company. Their advice was to
call it, brace yourself, Orville Redenbacher... yeah, that was a good investment. In 1993, a Missouri man named James Scott purposefully damaged a
levy on the Missouri River, to delay his wife from coming home from work so that he could party. Unfortunately, the river ended up flooding 14,000 acres of land,
and he was convicted of causing a catastrophe, and was sentenced to life in prison... I don't blame them for doing that. There is a British man named Nick Hess, that suffers from auto-brewery syndrome, which means that his stomach
has an overgrowth of yeast, which turns any carbohydrates
he eats into alcohol. In other words, he gets
drunk off of bread. The longest ever recorded sniper kill was shot from 2,475 meters away, by British soldier Craig Harrison. The bullet took over six seconds to reach its target, and
fell about 122 meters. Now that's a head shot! Taco Bell sold 100 million
Doritos Locos tacos for the first ten weeks after launch. To put that into perspective
