Isaac Newton, one of the most intelligent men in history, discovered gravity, proposed laws of motion, invented telescope and developed calculus mainly because he was driven by curiosity. His relentless desire to know and learn something new changed the way we see the world and his legacy continues to influence science and our worldview to this day.To awaken our curiosity for knowledge that can help us achieve great things, we present you with a list full of interesting facts, collected by the ‘FactsPidia’ Instagram account.

Bread and butter would taste a far sight better than some wedding cakes I've had, and besides...who doesn't love butter?
When I was younger I used to eat bread and butter with sugar on top

Exactly - a wedding is just a party. Some people love going all-out, which is fine if it makes them happy, but no one should feel obligated to go into massive debt for a party. Best wedding I ever went to was held in a living room and was a potluck so all the guests brought a dish. We also lit off 2 fireworks in the backyard, one for bride, one for groom :) it was so chill and fun.

We had a small destination wedding, not the weird crazy expensive, and then a reception where family brought food, we ordered pizza and chicken people were in shorts and tshirts or dressed formal (we wore wedding gown and tux but encouraged everyone to relax) the last few weddings we went to were so formal and stuffy. And obviously expensive. And not all happy endings…I would be happy to take food to a casual wedding if I was able!
Load More Replies...Can you imagine if westernized culture was this smart. How many people spend thousands on some monster wedding and are still paying it off years later. This couple will have a good strong marriage.
This is exactly what a wedding should be, not these ridiculous extravagant affairs that put you in debt instead of using those funds for a down payment on a house. Since 40-50% of US marriages end in divorce, think of it as an investment. An over budget wedding is a very stupid investment with those odds.
The obsession with cake is wild. Definitely the worst dessert, unless it's completely chocolate.
That is a reasonable idea but a home made cake would be more celebratory and pretty inexpensive.
Reading this while eating buttered toast sprinkled with Maldon Salt, interesting.
I don’t even remember most wedding cakes. I’m not a big desert person, I think it’s usually just the bride and groom and immediate family that pay attention. Stop spending so much. The best weddings are usually the cheaper ones.dress formal or come in blue jeans but expect fried chicken and pasta buffet style! Eat before if you’re picky. It’s a party.
Smarter than some that spend ten thousand or more on a wedding just to impress others!!
Notice they aren't American therefore they don't have some outdated expectation of their friends and family to foot the bill for something unnecessary to show others their status. These people are smart and humble.
Nothing in this picture indicates nationality.

For us to stay curious, it’s important to find time in our day that we can dedicate to reading about new research or learning novel activities. If you struggle to branch out of your usual area of interests to keep your fascination about the world alive, we got your back with some additional rare facts from experts who come from various fields of expertise.
In a previous interview with Bored Panda broadcast meteorologist Janice Davila told us that one of the most unknown pieces of information from her profession is that weather radars are tilted at a half-degree (1/2°) angle.
I am a bit hesitant on meeting the donors like that. In some cases it is probably nice for them, but for the one getting a organ it may cause issues.
“This means that when you or someone else opens a weather app only to see that it says it's raining, it actually means the radar is detecting the rain at 1/2 degree up rather than looking at the surface. If you're not seeing any rain, it's because it's evaporated by the time it passed the radar, reaching the surface,” she explained.
Meanwhile, Mark Janes, a chartered biologist and scientist, revealed in a past interview that life is inherently simple, with carbon being its main ingredient. It’s an element that can be found everywhere, from living things and air to the ocean, rocks and fossils. Carbon is essential to all life on Earth, even humans, as it makes up fats and carbohydrates that make up molecules and our DNA, which makes up our bodies.
This is awesome, but equally awesome is that it isn't exclusive to Singapore! Many places have Eco Bridges and/or wildlife passes that allow safe passage for all kinds of wildlife, even aquatic life
Another unusual piece of information about our world that meteorologist, atmospheric scientist, and owner of Makens Weather, Matt Makens, told us in a previous interview is that there’s an extreme weight of moisture in the air. “Especially within thunderstorms that are miles high and carry large hail...the tremendous amount of upward wind to enable all of that water and ice to stay in the air is mind-blowing to us as observers when we watch those thunderstorms pass through.”
These experts are also driven by curiosity and still have some mysteries they would like to find out in their field of expertise. For example, Davila is trying to see if the rise and fall of barometric pressure can be related to migraines. While Makens wants to discover the driving forces behind warm and cool phases of a natural climate pattern across the tropical Pacific—El Niño and La Niña. Until now, no one was able to exactly pinpoint why they occur.
Reminds me of the "Hunger Stones" of Europe. They were rocks placed on the bottom of rivers or lakes as markers to indicate dangerously low levels of water. One stone in Germany has an inscription: "If you see me, weep."
History shows again and again how nature points out the folly of man
The movies that start this way never end well for humanity. And worse, truth ends up being stranger than fiction...
“Today, we can accurately—more or less—predict these features out to a year or maybe two. To be able to forecast these patterns several years in advance would be of tremendous economic gain for the hundreds of industries that rely upon risk management practices protecting from changes those ocean-atmosphere patterns create,” explains Makens.
They really have to stop digging things up from the permafrost. It will not end well for us!
Keeping ourselves informed about our world not only expands our worldview and kindles our curiosity but also helps us stay safe against phenomenon like weather. “I highly recommend people knowing the basics about the weather, especially hazard safety when it comes to storms,” says Davila. “Due to climate change, storms are getting more aggressive, therefore people should be more aware of how to react during nocturnal tornadoes, floods, hurricanes, and anything else that may not be typical for their region.”
Many brain surgeries are done awake, also known as awake craniotomy, to minimize the risk of damaging critical brain areas
...and they got replaced by the bell that's been ringing for all those years.
I would hate to see what would have happened if it was a serious match
Getting that blocked gives you runny eye and a weird painful bump in the side of your nose. Then you have to squeeze the innards of the bump down into the nasal cavity to get the effing eye to stop being a pain. Fun.
I buy eggs from a neighbor. Every carton is a rainbow. Blue, greenish, whote, brown, tan. She has chickens called Easter Eggers
So, how much damage.was done to anything alive within or near that half-kilometer radius, and was there not a risk of brush fires given that the photo shows vegetation in the area?
You could hire people in Ancient Rome to attend your funeral to up the amount of people weeping and wailing to impress also.
Does BP realise that their incessant ads are slowing the site down to the point where it's almost unusable? Or do they know but not care?
