Apple pie is not American.

This delicacy is said to originate from Medieval England. Variations of the original recipe were made popular by the Dutch which became the known favourite of today.

An encrypted monument stands outside of the CIA headquarters in Virginia.

This monument was created by artist Jim Sanborn and features four inscriptions. 3 of 4 of the inscriptions have been cracked already. However, no one seems to be able to crack the final code to this day.

The human body is the cause of metallic smells found in coins and other metals.

Upon contact with come metals, 1 Octen 3 One is formed as the result of the decomposition of oil present on the skin. This is what causes the metallic smell from metal.

While Japan is known for its high speed trains (320 Kph Bullet Train) , it is also known for its slow trains.



The Resort Shirakami Train between Aomori and Akita travels at 10 KpH. This is to give the passengers time to appreciate the breathtaking scenery.



That's about 10 feet per second.

Expiration dates on a bottle of water is not for the water.

The expiration date is for the bottle itself. After some time, the plastic will begin to leach into the liquid.

Monkeys in the wild do not eat bananas


The edible banana is a cultivated domesticated plant and fruit. Wild monkeys never encounter bananas at all ever unless they are around human habitation where bananas are or have been planted.

Large banks use computers to process checks and debit card charges by the highest amount first.

The longest musical performance in history still occurs today.

This is taking place right now at the church of St. Burchardi in Germany. The performance of John Cage’s Organ ‘as slow as possible’ isn’t schedule to be finished until the year 2640.
