Lloyds Bank coprolite is the largest known example of fossilised human faeces (palaeofaeces) ever found, measuring 20 centimetres (8 in) long and 5 centimetres (2 in) wide.
It was recovered by the York Archaeological Trust while excavating the Viking settlement of Jrvk (present-day York) in northern England in 1972.
It was created by a viking in the 9th century.
The specimen was put on display at the Archaeological Resource Centre, an outreach and education centre run by the York Archaeological Trust. In 2003, the coprolite broke into three pieces after being dropped while being exhibited to a party of visitors, and efforts were undertaken to reconstruct it. It has been displayed at Jorvik Viking Centre since 2008.

Goodyear Illuminated Tires, 1961
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/b/b1e85906.jpg
Came in any color you wanted, if they had been released.
They were both easier to make and cheaper than normal tires, but it turned out to have too much negative points.
They couldnt handle heat well, so they could start to melt while breaking.
They lost the grip while wet.
They weighted 150 pounds. Thats 5-10 times more than a normal tire.

It's a running joke that only white people do crazy shit like skydive or mountain climb. But I assumed some Asians too since well its in Asia and I wouldn't be surprised if a guide has died before.
The first expedition to really climb the mountain had 7 porters from Nepal die in an avalanche. Seems like Nepal, India, Japan and Australia are the countries with most deaths.

Not so much an interesting fact as much as it a random thought, but people tend to draw non-full moons (crescent, half, etc.) with stars in front of where the non-visible portion of the moon is.

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/d/d07e91fb.jpg
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/9/95d7bae4.jpg

But when you think about it, that doesnt make sense because those stars should always be hidden behind the moon, since if there was a star between the Earth and the moon, wed all die a horrible fiery death.
Technically they could be satellites or high orbit objects.
