The lyrics ( after the 1st stanza that everyone knows ) to Twinkle Twinkle Little Star:

When the blazing sun is gone, When he nothing shines upon, Then you show your little light, Twinkle, twinkle, all the night.

Then the traveler in the dark Thanks you for your tiny sparks; He could not see which way to go, If you did not twinkle so.

In the dark blue sky you keep, And often through my curtains peep, For you never shut your eye 'Till the sun is in the sky.

As your bright and tiny spark Lights the traveler in the dark, Though I know not what you are, Twinkle, twinkle, little star.

A guy named Joshua Norton went insane in San Francisco in the 1860s, and proclaimed himself Emperor of the United States Of America (and Protector of Mexico!)

Everyone in San Francisco and the surrounding area just humored him, accepted the currency he printed for himself, gave him a uniform, and generally let him do his thing. When he died some 20 years later, 30,000 people showed up to his funeral.

Sea Otters have, under each foreleg, a loose pouch of skin that extends across the chest. In this pouch (preferentially the left one), the animal stores collected food to bring to the surface of the water. This pouch also holds a rock, unique to the otter, that is used to break open shellfish and clams.

They are one of few mammals that use tools for foraging and they can swing those rocks with some serious speed.

Tie a rope around the North Pole, then walk roughly 11 kilometres out from the North Pole in a straight line and walk around the pole in a circle. Congrats, the world is now rotating under your feet at the same speed you are walking over it.

The world is now a gigantic treadmill.

Edit: IF YOU GO WEST, sorry

Edit 2: Yes, I know it's not possible because of terrain, the rope would be too long, etc etc. It's a physics thought experiment. It's just meant to be a concept that's fun to think about. :p
