For all artistic fans and Bob Ross Fans.

The U.S. Air Force introduced Bob Ross to painting.

The late Bob Ross, the host of The Joy of Painting, was known for being a soft-spoken artist with a signature hairstyle and a stunning talent for painting dreamy landscapes filled with happy trees. But he might not have ever been the painter we came to adore if he hadn't been in the U.S. Air Force, according to an interview with the Orlando Sentinel. While rising to the rank of Master Sergeant, Ross was also able to take a painting class, and he was inspired by the scenery in Alaska where he was stationed. The state's landscape would often pop up in his work throughout his artistic career.

As a member of the Air Force, Ross was able to take a painting class at a U.S.O. club, which marked the first time he studied painting. He didn't care for the abstract teaching style that focused on "color theory and composition" but "wouldn't tell you how to paint a tree."

Dump the body in a separate place than the murder scene. This way, the police will have to survey two spots before they can put the pieces of the murder together.

There are polka-dotted zebras.

Zebras are known for their striking black and white stripes, but it turns out that not all of the creatures are born with a lovely lined pattern. In fact, some rare zebras are born with spots, such as the polka-dotted baby zebra that was spotted in Kenya's Masai Mara National Reserve in 2019. Named Tira, the foal has a coat that is primarily dark but has white dots, a coloring thought to be due to a genetic mutation called pseudomelanism. Although the little one looks quite a bit different from the rest of his family, he seems to be fitting in just fine.

DNA is fireproof.

Your DNA is pretty miraculous in that it encodes the entire blueprint for your body using a set of only four characters (amino acids).

And that's not all. If you treat the outside surface of cotton fabric with concentrated genetic material, the DNA is flame retardant. It seems the molecules that make up DNA are similar to those that make up other fireproofing substances.

Each king in a deck of playing cards represents great king from history.
Spades - King David
Clubs - Alexander the Great,
Hearts - Charlemagne
Diamonds - Julius Caesar.

While the turkey these days is little more than the centerpiece at American Thanksgiving, in 300 B.C.E., these big birds were heralded by the Maya as vessels of the gods and were honored as such, so much so that they were domesticated to have roles in religious rites! They were symbols of power and prestige, and can be found all over the place in Maya iconography and archaeology.

If the process of your murder involves a struggle with the victim, make sure to clean their fingernails afterward. They might have tiny pieces of your skin underneath from when they tried to fight for their life.

The furry tufts of hair inside a cat's ear are called ear furnishings.

The next time you're playing with an adorably fuzzy feline, you might want to notice those fluffy bits of fur that stick out of the cat's ears, which have a super cute name: ear furnishings.

"I do not hate gays."

"I do not believe that homosexual books or clubs have any place in our schools"

oHHHH THE HYPORCRISY AND IRONY-

"Tim?

"Mhm?"

"I'm cold."

Tim looked over at his boyfriend who was curled up next to him on his bed watching Harry Potter and rolled his eyes.

"You have me and three blankets keeping you warm, I think you're fine," Tim mumbled, leaning into Cyrus.

"But Teeee," Cyrus whined, "I want one of your hoodies. Pleaseee."

"But that would require me to get up," Tim groaned, "and I'm much too comfortable lying here with you."

Cyrus turned and looked up at him with those puppy eyes Tim could never resist.

"You're going to keep pestering me until I get you a hoodie, aren't you?" Tim already knew the answer.

"Mhmm," Cyrus hummed.

"Alright, fine," Tim gave in, "but you owe me."

He pushed himself off of his bed and went to his closet to retrieve his light blue hoodie, Cyrus's favourite.

He threw it across the room and Cyrus caught it, slipping it on immediately.

Tim walked back over to his bed and looked down at his boyfriend with an amused expression on his face.

"Whaaat?" Cyrus asked, noticing Tim.

"Nothing," Tim said, collapsing back down, "you just look really cute in that. You remind me of a puppy."

"I'll take that as a compliment," Cyrus smiled and snuggled back into Tim's chest.

"Your hoodies always smell so good," he mumbled, "they smell like you. That's why I like them so much."

"That's the nicest thing you've ever said to me," Tim kissed Cyrus on the cheek, not being able to resist.

Cyrus lightly smacked Tim indignantly.

"Excuse me," he said, "I've said other things. Lots of them!"

"Mhmm like what?" Tim asked innocently, not being able to hide his smile.

"Like you're my favourite person and I love spending time with you more than anything," Cyrus said as a matter of factly.

It’s already been three months of them dating, and Cyrus still manages to make Tim blush.

"Is that true?" he asked.

"Of course," Cyrus answered, looking up at Tim, "these days with you are my favourite."

"Mine, too," Tim said quietly.

Cyrus looked up at his boyfriend, smiling. He couldn't resist; he grabbed Tim's shirt and pulled him into a kiss.

"Yeah," Tim mumbled against Cyrus's lips, "definitely my favourite."

"I hope you realize you're never getting this hoodie back," Cyrus said as he settled back down and curled up against Tim.

"I've accepted that," Tim said, "it's a price I'm willing to pay to be your boyfriend and keep you happy."

Cyrus looked up at Tim and grinned. How did he get so lucky?

For all those who use lipstick.

Most lipstick contains fish scales.

To clarify, The ingredient under discussion is called pearl essence. It's the silvery stuff found in fish scales that's used in some lipsticks, nail polishes, ceramic glazes, etc., to make them shimmery.

So, Yes, Lipstick does contain fish scales ╮(￣▽￣)╭

The Word "Tragedy" Comes from an Ancient Greek Word Meaning "Goat Song"

While "tragedy" is the word we use for a terrible event or a sad outcome, it has roots from the Middle English word "tragedie," which can be traced back to Medieval Latin's "tragēdia" and the Latin "tragoedia." That word originates from the ancient Greek word "tragōidía," meaning "goat song," according to Oxford Dictionaries.

A commonly accepted theory for the etymology is that Greek tragedies were known as goat-songs because the prize in Athenian play competitions was a live goat.

Lungs are the only human organ that can float on water.

Every day, the average human breathes around 22,000 times and, according to the Lung Foundation of Australia, no matter how hard a person exhales, their lungs will still have about one liter of air lingering inside, which makes the organ buoyant enough to float on water. No other organ in the human body has the same ability.

(So, If you want to throw a body into the water, puncture the lungs first, that way, they don't float as much.)

Scientists made music especially for cats.

Cats apparently appreciate music as much as we do, but they don't necessarily like the same tunes as humans. That's why in 2015, scientists from both the University of Wisconsin, Madison, and the University of Maryland worked together to compose "cat-centric music." Charles Snowdon, the lead author on the study explained, "We looked at the natural vocalizations of cats and matched our music to the same frequency range, which is about an octave or more higher than human voices… And since cats use lots of sliding frequencies in their calls, the cat music had many more sliding notes than the human music." What they came up with is a song called "Cozmo's Air."

The moon has moonquakes.

Just as earth has earthquakes, the moon has moonquakes. Less common and less intense than the shakes that happen here, moonquakes are believed by U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) scientists to occur due to tidal stresses connected to the distance between the Earth and the moon.

Every 'c' in Pacific Ocean is pronounced differently

The English language is quirky, and one of the best examples of that is in the way we pronounce Pacific Ocean. Take your time to say it slowly, and you'll notice that each 'c' is said differently—the first with an 's' sound, the second as a hard 'ck' sound, and the third with a 'sh' sound.

You're probably aware that bats use high-pitched squeals to connect and communicate with each other. But you probably didn't know how specific such communications could get. Researchers at Tel Aviv University used a machine-learning algorithm to recognize bats' intonations and the messages they may be trying to convey, "translating" 15,000 calls into several specific messages—more than 60 percent were arguments about four specific things: food, sleep positions, invasion of personal space, or unwanted advances.

Who is a fictional character that is attractive in a weird way or you thought you would not be attracted to?

Mine was Adult Simba, Nick Wilde, Hiccup, Zoro and Fox Robin Hood etc. I still find them attractive even now-

The name "bonobo" resulted from a misspelling.

"Bonobo," the common name for apes, may sound like some sort of translation of a meaningful term, but in fact, it was the result of a typo. Researchers reputedly first found the animals in the town of Bolobo, Zaire, in the '20s, but the name of the place was misspelled "Bonobo" on the shipping crate in which the animal was placed, leading others to refer to the animal by the name, which stuck.

IKEA is an acronym which stands for Ingvar Kamprad Elmtaryd Agunnaryd, which is the founder’s name, farm where he grew up, and hometown.

IKEA is named after the initials of founder (Ingvar Kamprad), the farm on which he grew up (Elmtaryd) and the nearby village of the farm (Agunnaryd).
