Bugs Bunny was first created in 1938 by Leon Schlesinger Productions – later known as Warner Bros. Cartoons. The popular rabbit was first named "Happy Rabbit," but renamed Bugs Bunny after his original writer, Ben "Bugs" Hardaway. Warner Bros.

In the lonesome grasslands of Nebraska near the South Dakota border lies the municipality of Monowi. The town’s sole resident is Elsie Eiler, a woman in her 80s who is the town’s mayor, clerk, librarian, and treasurer. As Monowi is an incorporated town for the purposes of the U.S. Census, Eiler receives state funding for municipal road work. However, she has to raise her own funds for the town’s taxes to pay for the street lighting and water

Bite or be bitten… You don’t believe me? Look at at those other suckers who rolled their eyes and laughed it off… They’re rarely to be seen.

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).

Dr Pepper is the oldest soft drink in America. Older than Coca-Cola, in fact, by a full year. It was created in 1885 by a pharmacist, Charles Alderton, in Waco, Texas. And its original name was Waco – it was served there at the soda fountain in the drugstore

What are the 23 things in Dr Pepper?

Amaretto, almond, blackberry, black licorice, carrot, clove, cherry, caramel, Cola, ginger, juniper, lemon, molasses, nutmeg, orange, prune, plum, pepper, root beer, rum, raspberry, tomato, and vanilla.

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!

In the history of the world, only two nations were dedicated to God: ancient Israel and America. Twenty-five hundred years ago, King Solomon dedicated Israel's holy temple to God. On April 30, 1789, George Washington and his cabinet dedicated America to God in a little church that still stands at Ground Zero.Dec 22, 2015

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.
