Attempting to view Pluto from Earth is like trying to see a walnut from 30 miles away.

A inner tube on a bike lasts until it hits a nail, a piece of glass etc. The average biker thinks an inner tube lasts at least 1000 hours..

The eggs of some species of Mayfly take as long as three years to hatch... after that the insect lives only six hours.

While the Nazi's were developing and implementing their plans for the prosecution, persecution and extermination of "Sub-humans", they were also busy passing some of the most stringent anti-animal cruelty laws of the time.

The February of 1865 is the only month in recorded history not to have a full moon.

Ahem. I believe that depends on what your definition of a "full Moon" actually is. Truth be told: I don't know what the "official" definition is ... or even if there is an "official definition". On February 10th, 1865, from 16:46:08 to 16:46:57 UT1, the Moon's disk was ~99.8298945% illuminated. (Obviously this is so close to 100% as to not make an appreciable difference.) Due to the arrangement of the Earth, Sun and Moon, it is far from uncommon for the Moon to not reach a full 100% illumination of the Earth-facing side.* IOW, if you accept that the above means that the Moon was not "actually" full, then you must also accept that the Moon is almost never full. *Note that, due to something called "libration", we actually see more than 50% of the Moon's surface over the course of its phase cycle.

The word “maverick” came into use after Samuel Maverick, a Texan refused to brand his cattle.

The penguin is the only bird that can’t fly but can swim.
