50 ‘Weird Facts’ About The World That You Might Not Have Known (New Pics)

Good for them, determined set of individuals

F*ck yeah 🏳‍🌈

and then, change your name back after marriage.

Gay marriage was not explicitly ruled out in many countries, as those who wrote the law could never imagine such a situation. Officials still wouldn't allow it until explicitly written into the law.

I so hope they're still both happily married....

Dogs are the best and humans do not deserve them.

they tried the same cats, but they ended up eating the wounded.

these dogs deserve much more recognition than they get.

All dogs go to heaven. Especially Dizzy, who bravely sat with a soldier who had been injured and spent his last hours relaying to Dizzy his love of collecting stamps. What makes Dizzy more heroic is that the soldier talked non-stop for 15 hours before realising that the "shrapnel" that hit him in the neck was merely a glob of wet mud, and he was fine.

Their loss

There's a pretty similar story with Mitra Hejazipour (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitra_Hejazipour): she was kicked off the Iranian team for refusing to wear a hijab. She now represents France (she was granted citizenship last year) and is an international grand master. Smart and brave!

I'm a student at SLU! This makes me happy.

Good for her.

I hope she had the opportunity to play against an IRAN team and beat them! Good for her and her family that obviously supported her decision!

I would've panicked and drowned, she's amazing.

they also busted the myth of a lit cigarette igniting gasoline and got an innocent man out of prison

Adam Savage is also an amazing person.

How do you know when the pressure had equalized?

Bad advice. It’s true that the only way Adam could “open the door” was once the pressure was equalized but it would have been too late without air provided by a SCUBA tank. He would have drowned. Episode link below. Do not do this! Besides the time problem, in their show the water was not very deep, there were no strong currents or debris, water visibility was good, and the car rested right side up which may not happen IRL. Instead experts recommend not attempting to open the door but open or break the side glass windows and climb out quickly as possible. Water escape video link below too. https://youtu.be/VC68mflUEwc?feature=shared https://youtu.be/fymjbkGSta8?feature=shared

Cyborg Turtle!

I love seeing technology used in this way. So helpful to these animals. This is a devastating injury that would have resulted in the loss of its life.

imagine being out for a quiet gentle dive only to be confronted by a metal faced turtle.

This is so cool

Now he’s more of a bad a*s than those mutant teenagers! I’ve seen two different bald eagles that have had their beaks, or part of their beak, replaced in the same manner and released. It’s about time that we started to give back more to animals. After all, we are usually the cause of their issues.

Partners in crime

maybe this is where the odin and fernir myth came from

A raven will partner with a mountain lion as well.

So that's why in the Witcher Gerald of Rivia's symbol is the wolf and Yennefer's the crow?

Ravens (and crows) have also been shown to hold grudges. When a person has harmed a raven, or a member of its flock, there are recorded instances of the birds attacking and harassing that person for months, or even years. That will even pass that information on to other ravens, who will carry on the harassment! Bird Omerta!

It seems that most often that the only people getting offended are people that don't belong to that community because they feel the need to fight something that doesn't need fighting
