Since we’re on the topic of fascinating facts, did you know that McDonald’s once created bubblegum-flavored broccoli? Let that sink in for a few moments.
This was back in 2014 when health advocates compelled the fast-food giant to enhance the nutritional quality of its menu items. The idea was to introduce healthy eating to children through this innovative Happy Meal addition.
However, during focus group discussions, the idea was a flop, and the company was urged to scrap it altogether.

Brave Man Fights His Own Battles
We know the Olympics as a prestigious event where athletes from around the world showcase their skills while representing their respective nations. But from 1912 to 1948, art competitions were part of the events.
People vied for the same bronze, silver, and gold medals across five categories: literature, architecture, painting, music, and sculpture. An international jury determined the winners.

The late Neil Armstrong became a household name for being the first human being to set foot on the moon. But in 2004, he was in the news headlines after barbershop owner Marx Sizemore collected his hair clippings and sold them for a whopping $3,000 to collector John Reznikoff.
Armstrong threatened to sue Sizemore, who refused to give in. Reznikoff, however, donated an additional $3,000 to charity.

Since 2011, the pope has been ineligible to donate his organs. According to Vatican officials, the pope’s body “belongs to the entire church” and must remain intact when buried. Others argue that the recipient may risk becoming an object of veneration, especially when the pope who passed on becomes a saint.
Until 1903, the Vatican in Rome removed the organs of a pope who had recently passed on and turned them into relics for the church.

Maybe the Islamic regime should be banned. I pray one day all of them will be gone and Iran will be the great nation it once was and not strangled to death by a religion that treats women like garbage.

My sister bagged up a load of litter in her village, put it next to a public waste bin, and called the council to collect it as it wouldn’t all fit in her car. Meanwhile, some “public spirited” person reported her for fly-tipping, and she is battling a £4000 fine from the same council!

These Two Beauties Had Been Barn Mates But Were Separated For A Few Months. This Is Was What Happened When They Saw Each Other At The Horse Park After Their Long Absence From Each Other
Fat Harry (Oi / You) 1 month ago
I actually have a similar-ish picture of my horse and his best friend after mine had been kept in his stable for months with laminitis. When I let him back into the field for the first time, with the intention of just giving him 20 minutes out there to start with, he spent the entire time grooming with his bestie and didn't eat a single blade of grass.

If that's an LVAD, if the power goes out and/or the batteries aren't charged, the person will unfortunately die. My uncle had one of these when they first came out. He wore it for over two years but sadly passed before getting a donor heart. Those things are amazing and frightening all at the same time.

That was one of my main complaints to OVA Energy when we were having numerous power cuts here, that and they actually cut me off once because I was on Pre-pay, always have been and they put me on Pay Monthly without my consent. I'm disabled and I pointed out that there are other people who are absolutely reliant on having a reliable power supply for necessary medical equipment. If I fall in the dark? I could end up back in the hospital for months. It's... The sheer amount of people/companies who assume that everyone is able bodied is staggering.

I finally got registered and received my card a few years ago. I made sure it was in an obvious place in my wallet and my family all knew. My dad said it was so much better when it was listed on your driver's licence and an opt-out system though. Given how long it took me to actually get around to doing the paperwork, I would agree.

I remember the first artificial heart recipient. They have come a long way since then. Much praise to those pioneers.
