The Eiffel Tower was
inaugurated the same year Nintendo was founded.
You
might assume that Paris' Eiffel Tower is much older than Nintendo, a company famous for manufacturing popular
video game systems. But in reality, the iconic Parisian landmark was inaugurated the very same year that
Nintendo was founded: 1889. While the tower was being formally introduced to
the public at the World's Fair, a playing card company that would eventually
become Nintendo was being launched in Kyoto by Fusajiro
Yamauchi.

The first breakfast cereal
had to be soaked overnight before it could be eaten.
It's
probably safe to assume that when you reach for your favorite cereal in the morning, you can simply pour some in a bowl and
start eating it. But in order to consume the first manufactured breakfast
cereal, which was created in 1863, you had to soak it in milk overnight just to
make it edible. The cereal was made of graham flour that had been baked into
brittle cakes, then crumbled up and baked again. Not surprisingly, "it was
not an immediate success," according to The New York Times Magazine.

Fun facts
The smallest unit of
measurement in the universe is the Planck length.
If you want to find the very smallest things around, you'd need to track down
something that's the size of the Planck length. At a mere 1.6 x 10-35 meter across, which
is the equivalent of around a millionth of a billionth of a billionth of a
billionth of a centimeter—or a decimal point followed by 34 zeroes and a
one)—it's the smallest possible size of anything in the known universe.
Under
the laws of quantum physics, this would be the size of quantum foam, or the
tiny wormholes that give space a foam-like structure. If this is beyond you,
don't worry: You'd probably need a very advanced degree to fully understand that
concept.

There
are an estimated 22,000 to 31,000 polar bears around the world, according to the World Wildlife Fund. And while you can find the beasts in a
range of regions in the Arctic circle, including Greenland, Norway, Russia, and
Alaska, the majority of them—around 60 to 80 percent—call Canada home.

More than 800 languages
are spoken in Papua New Guinea.
It's
hard to imagine anyone being able to speak—or even understand—all of the 850-plus indigenous languages that are spoken in Papua New Guinea.
And in reality, most people don't. Many of the languages in the country—such as Nihali—are
only spoken and understood by a few thousand people in the world. Still, the
sheer number of languages that exist in Papua New Guinea, make it one of the most linguistically
diverse countries in the world.

Featuring

Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, and Theodore
Roosevelt, Mount Rushmore was designed and supervised by
sculptor Gutzon Borglum and his son Lincoln

that's about $17 million.

Your dog knows when
someone isn't trustworthy.
You
may be able to tell when your furry BFF is thrilled to see you, but your dog
probably knows even more about you and other people than you do about them. Not
only do dogs have innate instincts to protect their humans, but a 2015 study
published in the journal Animal Cognition suggests that pups can even tell if a
person is untrustworthy based on their behavior.
Fun Facts
There's a shrimp-like
creature that makes an aluminum armor to protect itself.
The
pressure of the deep sea is so intense that it would crush the bodies of any
critter not equipped to withstand it. That's why Hirondellea
gigas—a small, shrimp-like amphipod—adapted to form a
layer of aluminum hydroxide gel to cover its exoskeleton, acting as a kind of
pressure-resistant armor, according to a 2019 research article published
in PLoS
One.

Benjamin Franklin was
inducted into the International Swimming Hall of Fame.
Benjamin Franklin wasn't only a skilled writer, politician, and
scientist—he was also an avid swimmer. Franklin began swimming as a child in
Boston, which led to one of his first inventions: oval palletes worn on the hands so he could swim
faster. His enthusiasm for the sport continued throughout his life and was so
well-documented that he was eventually given an honorary induction into
the International Swimming Hall of
Fame.

The world record for the
tallest stack of doughnuts totaled more than 3,000.
Measuring
almost 5-feet tall, the pyramid-shaped tower was made up of 3,100 doughnuts.
According to Guinness World Records,
the structure was "designed on a number of different software products to
ensure its structural integrity." The organizers behind the project
enlisted the help of a structural engineer and an architect, who eventually
concluded a pyramid shape would give them "the best combination of
stability and height."

There's a Russian village
where every resident is a tightrope walker.
Traversing
a highwire may seem like a relatively uncommon ability. However, there's one
Russian community where it's a perfectly normal thing to be able to do.
In Tsovkra-1—a small, secluded village in the southern
republic of Dagestan—everyone who's physically able can walk on a tightrope in
a tradition that's existed for more than 100 years. It's even
taught in school to the village children. Even though only 400 people still
live in the region, at least 17 tightrope walkers from the area have found fame
in circuses due to their impressive aerial abilities.
