In England, there is a legend that in the Tower of London, "if the Tower of London ravens are lost or fly away, the Crown will fall and Britain with it".
There is a person called the Tower Ravenmaster, who with his staff, takes care of the resident ravens making sure they are happy and safe. Currently, there are seven resident ravens in the Tower, but during the bombing of WWII, all but three of the ravens died from either bombing or stress; the survivors were Gripp, his mate Mabel and another raven named Pauline. Mabel and Gripp soon "disappeared", however. Pauline, the Raven that kept the kingdom.

Driving to space would only take an hour.
Theoretically, this is possible if you were to drive in a straight line upwards into the atmosphere at a speed of 60 mph.

Spectacled bears are the only wild bears that live in South America.
I wonder who their optometrist is?

During hibernation, a bear does not defecate. Its body can somehow recycle body waste into protein — a process scientists still do not fully understand.

The Apollo 11 crew pre-made autographs for insurance.
The Apollo 11 crew was prepared for the chances that they may not be able to return from their voyage. In an attempt to financially prepare their families, they signed many trinkets that their families could sell if the mission failed.

The first 144 digits of pi add up to 666 (which many scholars say is “the mark of the Beast”). And 144 = (6+6) x (6+6).
This is what is called a coincidence.
