• Grapes are the most planted fruit all over the world. A ton of grapes can be produced into 720 bottles of wine. To quench their thirst, people drank wine instead of water centuries ago. During that time, water wasn't clean all the time, and natural fermentation, when the wine is made, could kill germs caused by typhi (salmonella) and cholera. Apparently, some people have a "fear of wine," and it's called oenophobia. During the early Roman times, it was forbidden for women to drink wine.

• Puppies are born blind and deaf.....They actually can’t see or hear until they’re almost two weeks old and they don’t even open their eyes before then! Until they are able to see and hear, puppies rely on their sense of smell to find their mom. They spend 15–20 hours a day sleeping. That’s not too unusual because human babies also spend about 16 hours a day sleeping. Puppies become ‘adults’ when they turn one. That’s about the same as 15 human years.

• Mice can squeeze through the tiniest of gaps.....By flattening out their bodies, mice are able to squeeze through gaps as small as 6mm. That’s roughly the size of a pencil! Because of this, when it comes to preventing mice, it’s advised that you fully inspect your property for any gaps and holes and fill these in using expanding foam or wire wool.

Many restaurants, however, are jumping on the mobile trend, establishing their own satellite food truck restaurants with limited, more casual or fun menu items.

• Modern Speed Bumps Were Invented by a Renowned Physicist. An early form of speed bumps was implemented in Chatham, New Jersey in 1906. Workers raised crosswalks five inches to reduce drivers’ speed. However, modern speed bumps were introduced in the 1950s. After winning the Nobel Prize for discoveries in electromagnetic theory, Arthur Holly Compton noticed a problem that was unrelated to his field of expertise. Drivers frequently sped past Washington University, where he worked. In 1953, he designed the first speed bump, which he called a “traffic control bump.”

• Lady In Rollers Flower Pot
• The Dawn of Hair Rollers.....Methods of rolling the hair to create beautiful curls began way back in 1500B.C. The Ancient Egyptians would wrap the hair around wooden sticks5 and use the extreme heat of the desert sun to set their do. In 500B.C the Ancient Greeks, whose affinity for intricately styled hair is well documented in art and literature, used a tool called a calamistrum1. Hollow tubes of iron resembling reeds would be warmed in hot wood-ashes and then used as rollers. They then set the curls with beeswax2 for a longer-lasting style, much like the hair gel or mousse of today.

• Why do trees grow through fences?.....As for trees growing through things, they don't really. They continue to grow normally, but immovable objects can become occluded by the secondary growth of stem and branches. Trees are often planted close to fences and other solid objects. This goes fine for many years until the tree trunk gets increasingly larger.

• Trunk Slice Mirror
• The first form of a mirror was invented in ancient times. It was actually a small pool of water filled in a dark colored container. Think of this concept as looking into a fountain as you walk by and see your reflection. Believe it or not, you’re using the world’s first version of a mirror. After the water-mirror was created and implemented into everyday use, people started making polished volcanic glass mirrors around 6,000BC. Once this concept was created, it simply meant that no more water mirrors would be used or manufactured, thanks to this new concept.

• Newborns have natural aquatic instincts when in water.....Babies are born with a “diving reflex” known as bradycardic response, which causes their body to naturally adapt to their surroundings when submerged in water. The baby's heart rate will slow down and he will instinctively hold his breath when under water. What’s even more incredible is that, like fish, babies can actually breathe and swallow at the same time for the first few months of their life. They learn this talent while in the womb but begin to lose this ability around the 6-month mark.

• Elephants live in herds, which are highly organized social groups of 6-20 elephants led and guided by an older female leader, called a matriarch. As the leader of the herd, a matriarch will make all the decisions for the herd - including what to eat, where to sleep and where to go. Female elephants stay with the herd for their entire lives meaning a matriarch acts as a grandmother and/or mother to most of the herd members that include several generations of female relatives (aunts, sisters and cousins). Males (called bull elephants) will only stay with their family until adolescence (around 14 years old) when they venture out on their own and spend most of their lives alone or with other bulls.

• Labradors have a number of endearing traits or they would not be so popular. They are intelligent and fairly easy to train, partly from their desire to work with people. They are "easy keepers" and can become overweight if they are not exercised and food portions adjusted as needed. Labs are excellent family dogs because they do want to be with people and many do not do well as kennel dogs. Labradors do tend to be protective of their families and homes but are usually happy to greet company, too. With the strong retrieving instinct, they can develop into destructive chewers if not given appropriate toys and guidance. Labs may tend to "mouth" people and the solution is often simply to give them a toy to carry around, so their mouths are already full! These are very strong dogs and early training is necessary to have a dog that walks nicely on lead.

• Humidity describes the amount of water vapor or water molecules in the air. Weather scientists use the term “relative humidity,” which Joe Sobel, a meteorologist and senior vice president at Accuweather described as “a comparison of the amount of moisture in the air versus the amount of moisture the air could hold.” Think of the atmosphere as a sponge that can hold a fixed amount of water, let’s say a gallon of water. “If there is no water in the sponge… then the relative humidity would be zero,” Sobel said. Saturate the sponge with half a gallon of water – half of what it is capable of holding – and that relative humidity climbs to 50 percent.

• No one is quite sure who invented the margarita, but there are a lot of theories. The most widely spread rumor is that an American socialite named Margarita Sames created the drink for her friends in 1948. One of her party guests was Tommy Hilton, who added the drink to the bar menu at his hotels. This is probably not true, though: The first importer of Jose Cuervo used the tagline "Margarita: it's more than a girl's name" in 1945—three years before Sames debuted her drink. Another story is that a man named Danny Herrera made the drink in his Tijuana restaurant in the '30s or '40s (accounts vary). Marjorie King, one of the showgirls there, was unable to drink any hard liquor but tequila. She wanted a cocktail using the liquor, so Herrera began experimenting. He concocted the now-famous drink and named it after the showgirl, as Margarita is a Spanish version of the name Marjorie.

• Did you know that 10-30% of babies are born with the cord wrapped around their necks and/or bodies? Cord wrapping, also known as Nuchal Cord, is not usually a problem. The body has a built in safety (and sticky!) mechanism called Wharton’s Jelly, which surrounds the blood vessels within the cord. Wharton’s jelly keeps the cord pliable and ensures blood, oxygen and nutrient flow can continue to happen. When cords are extra long, the chance of a nuchal cord are higher.

  Whisky starts its life as beer.....Whisky is made from 'wort', which is the 'beer' that gets distilled.

We spell Scottish and Canadian whisky without the e and the others as whiskey. The 400ml bottle of Glenavon Special Liqueur Whisky holds the Guinness World Record for being the World's Oldest Whisky. It is rumoured to be packaged in between 1851 and 1858 and was owned by an Irish family till it was auctioned off to Bonhams in London and fetched a staggering £14,850.
