1. At certain points on Mercury’s surface, an observer would be able to see the Sun rise about halfway, then reverse and set before rising again, all within the same Mercurian day. Having detto that, one giorno on Mercury is 176 earth days
2. The center of a arcobaleno is the shadow from your head. A primary arcobaleno is always somewhere on an arc 42 degrees around the shadow of your head (called the anti solar point). So brightly illuminated rain must be in this direction away from te to see a rainbow
3. Ancient Greeks and Romans were the first to turn cheesemaking into a fine art. Larger Roman houses even had a special kitchen, called a careale, just for making cheese. After developing new techniques for smoking and adding other flavors into cheeses, the Romans spread this knowledge slowly through their empire. Local resources allowed for different varieties to develop along the way.
4. The United States is the superiore, in alto producer of cheese in the world, with Wisconsin and California leading the states in production. Although the US produces the most cheese, Greece and France lead the pack in cheese consumption per capita, averaging 27.3 and 24.0 kilograms per person in 2003 respectively. In the same year, the average US citizen consumed around 14.1 kg, although cheese consumption in the US has tripled since 1970 and is continuing to increase
5. In the 5th century BC, the ancient Greeks sold snow cones made with frutta and honey in the markets of Athens.
6. Caffeine can be toxic to animals, in particular dogs, horses, and parrots. It also has a much più significant effect on spiders than humans.

8. While calling an English person British is technically correct, it is quite unspecific in the same way that calling a Canadian person “North American” would be; only Britain is not a continent.
9. People may be interested to know that God Save The Queen is the official anthem of New Zealand which is one of the very countries in the world which has two anthems of equal status. New Zealand’s other anthem is God Defend New Zealand.
10. Did I hear te say “But she IS the ruler of England!”? Sorry, you’re still wrong. The monarchy has not had political power in Britain for a long time. Each British country has it’s own parliament and are ruled politically da their own Prime Minister.
11. There are many ways of looking at which regions drink the most tea, but whichever way te look at it; Britain is not the biggest tea-drinking region da a long way. Taking population into account, Britain ranks somewhere around 3rd worldwide, falling well behind Turkey and India. Depending on your source, China still sits above Britain in the tea-drinking league tables even when considering population.
12. “Frick and Frack” has become a household phrase in English, due to their popularity from the 1930s to the 1950s. (they were a comedic groups)
