Thompson submachine guns don't fit in Violin cases, and Trombone cases were preferred for ergonomic reasons.

A 10-year old mattress weighs double its original weight.

This is due to the debris it absorbs over time such as mites, mold, dead skin cells, dandruff, etc. It also includes the sweat of the person using the mattress.

Daniel Craig was an anonymous Storm Trooper in Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Originally, he denied his cameo and claimed he wouldn’t bother being an extra in a movie.

The word “kimono” literally means a “thing to wear.” Ki is “wear,” and mono is “thing.”

DUI offenders in Ohio are required to use yellow license plates.

These special yellow plates were issued in 2004 to let officials know if a vehicle has had multiple DUI violations already. It also serves as a cone of shame for the owners of the vehicles to push them to be better drivers.

The world's deepest postbox is in Japan.

It can be found in Susami Bay which is located in Wakayama, Japan. The post is 10 meters underwater and most people require a diving suit just to get to it.

By the time they have been retired for 2 years, 78% of former NFL players have gone bankrupt or are under financial stress because of joblessness or divorce.

La Paz, Bolivia is constantly at a temperature of below 50 degrees Fahrenheit.

Despite this constant average, it has never reached below 0 degrees. This is also the case for Chile and the Falkland Islands.

Pumpkin flowers are edible.

The seeds, stem, skin, and flesh are all safe for human consumption. These flowers are also used in some native dishes in some countries. More commonly they are deep-fried.

The majority of blind people in the U.S. and the U.K. cannot read braille.



Statistically, less than 1% of blind in the U.K. and under 10% in the U.S.

An American man tried to fake his death so he wouldn't have to pay his phone bill.

In 2007, Corey Taylor attempted to fake his own death to get out of his smartphone contract without paying for anything. However, despite his efforts, it did not work.
