Tell us a random fact

just thinking about tones lately bc I'm re-learning Vietnamese rn, but tiêu in Viet means pepper and tiểu means pee so it's a bit of a dangerous game if you can't say the tones right

In 1312, a few Cockchafer Beetles, which were a major pest for crop farmers, were brought into a courtroom in Avignon, France and were ordered to withdraw to their designated territory. When the beetles didn't comply, they were collected and killed.

FedEx nearly went belly up early on were it not for their founder (having been rejected for a loan to meet their debt obligations) betting it all on the blackjack tables in Las Vegas. It's currently the largest logistics company in the world.

In 1954, a cat jumped off an airplane and fell safely onto its feet from a height of 3 kilometers!

It died immediately upon impact.

Gesundheit!!
