I bet you didn't know that this thread would have a part 2

In the original ending of the Inca-inspired animated film “The Emperor’s New Groove”, the titular Emperor demolishes a rainforest to create a theme park. Sting – who spent 20 years defending the rights of indigenous people – threatened to leave the project unless the ending was changed.

"Children have more energy than endurance athletes. They have fatigue-resistant muscles and they recover faster than adults. Much of this stems from their ability to uptake and distribute oxygen, as well as synergize energy faster."

During WWII, Germany carried out only one land operation in north America, the installation of a secret weather station in Newfoundland. They scattered American cigarette packets and planted a sign saying “Canadian Meteor Service” in case anyone found it, and the site wasn’t rediscovered until 1977.

During WWII the only time the German battleship Tirpitz fired her main guns at the enemy was at a weather station on the arctic island of Spitsbergen.
Accompanied by another battleship and nine destroyers.

This is a page from the Klencke Atlas, made in 1660 by the Dutch, as a gift to King Charles II. The writing at the bottom looks small, too small to read.
Except it isn't small writing....
... instead it's just a very, very, very big book. All the better to see the 41 maps that are in it. At the time it was made it contained maps of all of the earth that was known to Europeans. It was the largest book ever made until 2012. It actually has wheels at the bottom to move it around and it requires 6 people to life it.

Tag brothers are a group of 10 men who had been playing the game of tag since 1990, chasing each other around the country, traveling by plane, car etc. As of 2018, the game was still ongoing.
