Wear a Manchu pigtail…or die. After conquering China, the non-Chinese Manchurians (Qing Dynasty) made the Queue (Manchu pigtail) hairstyle mandatory for all males. The law was enforced by the death penalty, resulting in the popular slogan of the time: “Keep your hair and lose your head. Or lose your hair and keep your head.

According to figures published in the DEA’s Domestic Cannabis Eradication/Suppression Program Statistical Report, agents and their partners confiscated approximately 5.7 million cultivated cannabis plants last year – a slight increase (three percent) over 2021’s total. Agents also reported confiscating nearly 37,000 THC-infused edible products and another 60,000 cannabis concentrates.
This is the highest annual seizure total reported by the agency since 2011. Cannabis-related seizures largely fell from 2012 to 2020, before increasing sharply in 2021.
As in past years, the overwhelming percentage of all DEA-related seizures (88 percent) and arrests (52 percent) took place in California. Despite adult-use cannabis being legal in the state.

That original “Scarface” film? It’s much more indebted to the real story of Capone, whose nickname was indeed “Scarface.” Howard Hawks’ film stars Paul Muni as Tony Camonte, and it was made quite a bit before the 1932 film. Specifically, the original “Scarface” came out in 1932.

The Bible's Book of Ezekiel describes how the prophet saw a flying chariot emerging from a whirlwind and a cloud of fire.
The chariot was carried by four human-like angels each with four faces, and below it were four mysterious wheels.
Scholars claim it was around 593BC in modern day Kuwait. But there has been fierce debate on how to interpret the verses.
Famed Swiss Ufologist Erich von Däniken claimed it was evidence of an alien visitation, rather than a vision from God.
He was so convincing that Nasa scientist Josef Blumrich later wrote a book explaining how such a craft would have operated.
Roman chronicler Livy left a fascinating account of "many prodigies" spotted in 214 BC, including "phantom ships" that were "seen gleaming in the sky".
The historian Plutarch wrote about an even more remarkable event during a battle in 74BC.
He said "with no apparent change of weather, the sky burst asunder and a huge, flame-like body was seen to fall between the two armies.
"In shape it was most like a wine-jar, and in colour like molten silver."

Shortly after the U.S. joined World War II, there was an air attack over Los Angeles after an unidentified flying object was seen. At that time, newspapers published a number of reports and speculations of a cover-up to conceal an actual invasion by enemy airplanes. When documenting the incident, the United States Coast Artillery Association identified a weather balloon as the cause of the hysteria. They concluded that once the firing started, imagination created all kinds of targets in the sky and everyone joined in. Because of the chaos, three people died in car accidents and two died of heart attacks.

The United States has no closer ally than the United Kingdom, and British foreign policy emphasizes close coordination with the United States. Bilateral cooperation reflects the common language, ideals, and democratic practices of the two nations. Relations were strengthened by the United Kingdom’s alliance with the United States during both World Wars, in the Korean conflict, in the Persian Gulf War, in Operation Iraqi Freedom, and in Afghanistan, as well as through its role as a founding member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). The United Kingdom and the United States continually consult on foreign policy issues and global problems and share major foreign and security policy objectives.

Chickens aren’t often considered to be especially bright animals, though there’s evidence they’re smarter than we once believed. Scientists have long studied chickens, with the first research into chicken intelligence emerging around the 1920s thanks to observation of their pecking order (aka how the birds establish social hierarchies in their flock). In the 100 years since, researchers have determined that chickens have a wide range of communication skills, able to produce 24 different vocalizations that alert their fellow fowl about predators, food, and an interest in mating. Chickens are also capable of differentiating between numbers and can identify patterns and shapes. Those memory skills help chickens recognize up to 30 other birds, a process that starts within 36 hours after hatching, when chicks imprint on their mother hen. Chickens can also recognize human faces, and even have preferences for who they find attractive — a 2002 study found that chickens preferred looking at humans with more symmetrical faces (just like humans do).

However strange it may be to think of popes having day jobs outside the church, some of them did — including Pope Francis, who was once a bouncer at a nightclub. Long before he assumed the papacy in 2013 after his predecessor, Benedict XVI, became the first pope to resign in nearly six centuries, the future leader of the Catholic Church helped keep the peace at a bar in his hometown of Buenos Aires, Argentina. It wasn’t his only odd job, as he also swept floors and worked in a chemical lab. These humble beginnings may help explain why the “people’s pope” is known for his humility and modesty, especially compared to his flashier predecessor.

Omen facts
The young actor who played Damien was cast because he attacked the director.
When 4-year-old Harvey Stephens auditioned for the part of Damien, director Richard Donner had him act out one of the role’s more demanding moments. Donner invited Stephens to attack him, and attack he did—right in Donner’s privates. The ballsy move is the reason Stephens got the role.

The biggest controversy over this anomaly is the fact that Google Skies worked to censor it from the sky, placing a black box over it. This resulted in a lot more speculation, because typically Google doesn't do this to other anomalies in the sky. The most worrying part is that with the next batch of data from this region of space, the face actually appeared to have moved, now appearing to menacingly peer from behind a cosmic curtain.
The box was eventually moved recover the face, however in 2022 the face moved again, once again taking a peek out from behind the censorship bar. Perhaps Google had placed the block there not to prevent us from seeing, but to trick the dragon into thinking we know less. The issue is that he's peeking.
After moving again, this time Google completely erased the Red Dragon from Google Sky, filling in the space with blackness that is no longer obviously a big black censorship bar. Switching to an IR view still revealed the face, however this was patched as well. The face is still visible on telescope archives and hobby websites that catalog telescope images, and he is still smiling at us.
Explanation
Space eggheads want you to believe that this is only an image of Saturn, with an IR interference pattern below it. They claim the position of the left eye of the face matches the position of Saturn that year, and all of the following images are just edits of that original one. They claim it accidentally was superimposed over another image of Saturn from a few weeks earlier due to a telescopic timelapse shot, and that somehow it ended up on the same image.

The climax of Alfred Hitchcock’s 1959 thriller North by Northwest has Roger Thornhill (played by Cary Grant) and Eve Kendall (played by Eva Marie Saint) dangling over the precipice of Mount Rushmore as a villain tries to push them off. However, prior to filming, the National Park Service worried that the filmmakers would desecrate the monument. The agency made Hitchcock agree to strict rules, including promising not to shoot any violent scenes at Mount Rushmore or have live actors scrambling over the Presidents’ faces, even on a soundstage mock-up.
But the director failed to keep his word. Days before the film’s premiere, the park service issued a terse statement calling the movie “a crass violation of its permit” and wanting to “make the record clear on what the agreement provided and who failed to live up to it.” Still, the editor of the local Sioux Falls newspaper recognized the movie’s legacy. “Obviously,” he wrote, “this picture is worth its weight in gold to Rushmore from a publicity viewpoint.

Ears are best known for helping us hear things, but they’re also critical to helping us balance. The inner ear, behind the eardrum, contains our vestibular system, which helps us orient our bodies. Three loops full of fluid, or canals, are connected to two organs full of small crystals inside the inner ear. The canals sense when the head is moving up or down, left or right, and turning sideways. The crystals measure acceleration.
The vestibular system sends the information it processes to other parts of our body, so we can balance and know where we are in space. When the brain gets information that conflicts with what the vestibular system is processing, we get dizzy. This is why an inner ear infection can be so disorienting!

The most expensive movie ever made is Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, which cost a whopping $410 million. That’s a pretty penny to be sure, but it’s less than half a percent of the most expensive human-made object in history: the International Space Station, whose price tag comes in at $100 billion. Launched in 1998 after more than a decade of careful (and often difficult) planning, the ISS is a collaboration between five space agencies: NASA (United States), Roscosmos (Russia), JAXA (Japan), ESA (Europe), and CSA (Canada). It has been continuously occupied since 2000, with a full-time international crew conducting microgravity experiments and other research.
For all that, the ISS almost didn’t exist in the first place. “There was never really a strong push to abandon it but there were threats,” according to Valerie Neal of the National Air and Space Museum in Washington, D.C. “It was very nearly killed by a single vote at one of the committees of the U.S. Congress.” Getting five space agencies representing the interests of 15 countries to work together was no easy feat, but few would argue that the results — including insights on disease treatments and drug delivery systems, the development of new water purification systems, and a better understanding of how bodies work in space — haven’t justified the financial investment.

Many critics consider Meryl Streep our greatest living actress, and millions of movie fans don’t disagree. Her versatility is unparalleled: In The Iron Lady she embodies stern and sour British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, but in Mamma Mia she perfectly portrays a carefree singing hippie on a Greek island paradise.
“Meryl” Isn’t Her Birth Name
Mary Louise Streep made her first appearance in Summit, New Jersey, on June 22, 1949. Her father, business executive Harry William Streep Jr., quickly nicknamed her “Meryl,” a unique moniker she hated as a child. “I haaaaaaaated my name. I wanted to be named Patty or Cathy,” she has said.

Streep worked with Cazale on his last film, Vietnam war drama The Deer Hunter, and that performance earned her the first of a record-breaking 21 Oscar nominations. While she didn’t take home the Best Supporting Actress award, she’s since carried home three golden statues, for performances in Kramer vs. Kramer (1979), Sophie’s Choice (1982), and The Iron Lady (2011). She reportedly forgot her first statue in the bathroom, just after winning the award.

Despite the show’s success, and perhaps due to its long run, M*A*S*H experienced several significant cast changes, and several favorite characters were replaced with equally dynamic new ones — a standard practice on long-running shows today, but rare back then. In addition to Stevenson’s departure, Wayne Rogers (Captain “Trapper” John McIntyre) abruptly quit after season three, reportedly due to dissatisfaction with the development of his character. (Production planned a multimillion-dollar breach-of-contract lawsuit against the actor, but he revealed he never signed his contract, which made the matter moot.)
Stevenson’s Colonel Blake was succeeded by Colonel Potter (played by Harry Morgan), while B.J. Hunnicutt (played by Mike Farrell) took Trapper John’s place in the 4077th. Radar, the only main character transferred from the movie to the TV series, left the show in 1979.
Of the many actors who appeared on the show, Alda was the only star to appear in every episode. Through its run, the actor took increasing creative control of the series, directing 31 episodes including the finale, and co-writing 13 episodes. He became the first person ever to win Emmy Awards for acting, directing, and writing for the same show.
Loretta Swift (Margaret “Hot Lips” Houlihan) was a close second in terms of longevity; she appeared in all 11 seasons but missed a handful of episodes along the way.

Streep worked with Cazale on his last film, Vietnam war drama The Deer Hunter, and that performance earned her the first of a record-breaking 21 Oscar nominations. While she didn’t take home the Best Supporting Actress award, she’s since carried home three golden statues, for performances in Kramer vs. Kramer (1979), Sophie’s Choice (1982), and The Iron Lady (2011). She reportedly forgot her first statue in the bathroom, just after winning the award.

Only one building outside Washington, D.C., is featured on U.S. banknotes.
There’s only one spot outside the nation’s capital that you’ll see featured on some of the seven U.S. banknotes currently in circulation. The $5 bill features the Lincoln Memorial, while the $10 features the Treasury Building — fitting, since Alexander Hamilton, whose visage adorns the obverse, served as the Treasury Department’s first secretary. The $20 and $50 finish the architectural tour of Washington with the White House and Capitol Building, respectively. The $1 is notably absent from this list, as the only building-like structure on its reverse side is a pyramid with a floating eye — and no such pyramid exists in the U.S. (or the world).

The Two Most Powerful Tudor Monarchs Were Redheads
The Tudor dynasty, which ruled England from 1485 until the death of Queen Elizabeth I in 1603, sported a whole family of redheads, chief among them Henry VIII and the “Virgin Queen” herself.
King Henry was described as strong, broad-shouldered, and possessing golden-red hair. His daughter with Anne Boleyn (also sometimes described as having auburn hair), who became Queen Elizabeth I in 1558, similarly sported a fiery mane. However, Queen Elizabeth I took the fashion for red hair to a whole new level. Although red hair was often associated with barbarians — and the Irish and Scots, with whom England constantly quarreled, were seen as descended from such barbarians — the queen made the hue so popular that English courtiers allegedly dyed their hair and beards red to show support for her (and also the Protestant cause).

The United States is the most haunted country in the world
According to a study by Premier Tours, the United States is the most haunted place in the world, followed by the United Kingdom. This is based on the number of reported ghost and UFO sightings and haunted historic places.
The U.S. achieved an overall score of 32 out of 40, while the UK came in second place with a score of 28. If there is one place you should visit if you want to experience all things spooky, Salem in Massachusetts is it. It’s home to some of the most famous sites in the U.S., including The Witch House, Old Burying Point and The House of the Seven Gables.
The First Queen of England is Bloody Mary
There are many superstitions about mirrors, but legend has it, that if you say Bloody Mary three times in the mirror, she will appear and tell you your future. Even though she is simply a fortune-telling spirit in some cultures, in others, she is an evil entity.
Mary I of England became known as Bloody Mary because how she was responsible for brutally burning hundreds of Protestant heretics at the stake. She is also responsible for executing Lady Jane Grey, which brought her short nine-day reign as queen to an abrupt end. Lady Jane Grey is still said to wander the battlements to this day.
Romans believed you could use ghosts for revenge
For many years, the Romans believed that you could get a ghost to enact revenge on your enemies by scratching a curse into a stone tablet. The curse needed to include your enemy’s name and should describe how you wanted them to be tormented.
You would then place the stone on a grave or burial site to encourage the deceased to carry out the curse.
Abraham Lincoln still haunts the White House
Since Abraham Lincoln was assassinated in 1865, he has been seen wandering the halls of the White House. However, it doesn’t end there. He is also often seen at his former residences in Springfield, Illinois, including his former law office.
The Lincoln Bedroom and the Yellow Oval Room on the second floor of the White House are said to be the most active. Even the dogs who reside in this famous building are said to react to Lincoln’s spirit.

One of the Movie’s Posters Was Inspired by Michelangelo
If the movie’s poster of the universe with a human hand reaching out looked familiar, it’s because the late artist John Alvin was inspired by Michelangelo’s “The Creation of Adam,” the centerpiece of his Sistine Chapel fresco masterpiece. Alvin’s daughter was the hand model for the image that was used to promote the film. The original artwork hung on writer and producer Bob Bendetson’s office wall until it was auctioned off for $394,000 in 2016.

It only seems right that the creators of the modern Christmas tree would also create the first artificial version. By the 19th century, demand for holiday trees had caused issues in the German lumber industry, making room for sap-free alternatives to emerge. The first artificial trees were produced in Germany during the 1880s, and commonly made from goose feathers (although turkey, chicken, or swan feathers dyed green were also used). The plumes were attached to metal wires to form delicate branches that got their lift from a wooden base.
