In 1865, slavery was abolished in the United States when 3/4 of the states supported the proposal, but it was not until 1995 that the state of Mississippi itself ratified the constitutional amendment.
However, they forgot to notify the archivist of the National Archives, so the Mississippi did not officially support the change until 2013, when they were made aware of the error by a couple of students.

It was discovered on a space mission that a frog can throw up. The frog throws up its stomach first, so the stomach is dangling out of its mouth. Then the frog uses its forearms to dig out all of the stomach's contents and then swallows the stomach back down.
