Mary Celeste (often erroneously referred to as Marie Celeste) was an American-registered merchant brigantine, best known for being discovered adrift and deserted in the Atlantic Ocean off the Azores Islands on December 4, 1872. The Canadian brigantine Dei Gratia found her in a disheveled but seaworthy condition under partial sail and with her lifeboat missing. The last entry in her log was dated ten days earlier. She had left New York City for Genoa on November 7 and was still amply provisioned when found. Her cargo of alcohol was intact, and the captain's and crew's personal belongings were undisturbed. None of those who had been on board were ever seen or heard from again.Edited 14-Jun-23 19:01pm

Mail was once delivered by 37 cats in Belgium. These domestic cats were trained to deliver mail in the city of Liège. Waterproof bags containing letters were tied around their necks and then were driven out into the countryside, miles away from their homes and let go. They all made it home within 24 hours. Ultimately the scheme was abandoned as it was easier to deliver the mail yourself than rely on a cat! Edited 12-Jun-23 08:18am

Velco - Swiss electrical engineer George de Mestral invented his first touch fastener when, in 1941, he went for a walk in the Alps, and wondered why burdock seeds (a plant with clinging properties) clung to his woollen socks and coat, and his dog Milka. He discovered it could be turned into something useful. He patented it in 1955, and subsequently refined and developed its practical manufacture until its commercial introduction in the late 1950s. The fastener consisted of two components: a lineal fabric strip with tiny hooks that could 'mate' with another fabric strip with smaller loops, attaching temporarily, until pulled apart. Initially made of cotton, which proved impractical, the fastener was eventually constructed with nylon and polyester. De Mestral named Velcro; a portmanteau of the French word’s velour's ('velvet') and crochet ('hook'), to his invention, as well as to the Swiss company he founded; Velcro SA.

There is a town in Nebraska with a population of one. According to a recent census, Monowi is the only place in the USA with just one resident. She is her own clerk, mayor, librarian, treasurer, librarian and bartender and the only person left in the USA's tiniest town. Monowi was created in 1903, when the Mason, Elkhorn and Missouri Valley Railroad was extended to that point. A post office was established in Monowi in 1902 and remained in operation until 1967. Monowi's peak years were in the 1930s, when it had a population of 150. Like many other small communities in the Great Plains, it lost its younger residents to cities that were experiencing growth and offering better jobs. During the 2000 census, the village had a total population of two; only one married couple, Rudy and Elsie Eiler, lived there. Rudy died in 2004, leaving his wife as the only resident in the village. In this capacity, she acts as mayor, and granted herself a liquor license. She is required to produce a municipal road plan every year in order to secure state funding for the village's four streetlights. Although the village is nearly abandoned, it does have a bar called the Monowi Tavern, operated by Eiler for passing travelers and tourists. In addition, Eiler maintains the five thousand–volume Rudy's Library, founded in memory of her late husband. Edited 28-May-23 09:27am

During WW1, Winston Churchill was given a proposal for an experimental large cross-country armored car with cannons and guns, which could surmount obstacles such as trenches and barbed wire. When the navy was commissioned to design such a ‘land ship’, they decided that to try and confuse anybody who saw the plans, they would be called ‘Water Carriers for England’s ally, Russia’.When it was pointed out that if abbreviated, they might then be called WCs for Russia, it was decided to call them Water Tanks for Russia. Then they were called tanks. Thus, the military tank was born and named. Winston and the navy while originally calling them ‘land ships’, decided that they resembled the navy’s ‘cruiser’ battle ships and decided to rename them ‘land cruisers'. This didn’t sit well with the army who decided that they were tanks. The name Landcruiser was then re-born in the 1960’s by the Toyota company for their excellent range of 4-wheel drive vehicles.Edited 27-May-23 11:41am

Back in the day, before bathroom scales, people would check their body type by the thickness of their wrists. Grip your opposite wrist using the thumb and middle finger. If you’re right-handed, use your right hand to grab your left wrist. Ectomorph - Thumb and middle finger overlapping with ease. (Difficulty in gaining body fat and muscle) Mesomorph - Thumb and middle finger touching each other. (Loses body fat easily and gains muscle quickly) Endomorph - Thumb and middle finger doesn’t come into contact. (Gains both body fat and muscle easily) This is just an impression, but ectomorphs have the bodies of full marathon runners or models, mesomorphs gymnasts or athletes, and endomorphs professional wrestlers or sumo wrestlers.Edited 21-May-23 15:37pm

The original design prototype for hanging toilet paper is to hang it sheet side over. People that hang it backwards risk picking up more germs as the paper comes into contact with the walls .The exception to this rule is if you have cats or toddlers in the house that are likely to grab the roll as the forward positioned roll unravels faster.

For some strange and unknown reason Taylor Swift ( pop artist) makes my skin crawl.

A spoon left in your morning cuppa will send it colder faster. As the metal is a conducter the cold outside air will work down the spoon and the heat from the liquid will conduct up .The science says temperatures will always try to equalise ,resulting in your tea/coffee cooling down faster than without a spoon in it. Same goes with Black tea as opposed to adding milk to it. The black tea will cool faster as it tries to match the external cooler temperature outside the cup. The milky tea being closer to the outside temperature won't need to equalise as quickly.
