A rightwing, fascist politician and blogger from Austria, 84.year-old Herbert F., ranted for years that Afghanistan was a safe country because the Taliban now make it safe, and that Afghan refugees therefore should be refused asylum and deported back to Afghanistan.
To prove his point he travelled to Afghanistan in June 2023, where he was promptly arrested and thrown to prison, into a windowless cell without furniture or blankets and without medical care. He is accused of espionage and faces the death penalty. |

Watching an eclipse with a naked eye is extremely dangerous and will harm your vision, it can also potentially make you blind.

In 1916, Adeline and Augusta Van Buren became the first women to travel across the country on two solo motorcycles. They made it despite frequently being arrested for wearing pants.

Arnold Schwarzenegger once claimed to be interested in the lead role in "Stop Or My Mom Will Shoot", only to trick Sylvester Stallone into taking the role after Schwarzenegger had read the script and found it to be horribly bad.
"Stop Or My Mom Will Shoot" was a major box office bust and is commonly cited as one of the worst movies ever made. |

The colours in the Aurora Borealis are from different kinds of protons and electrons slamming into the Earth’s magnetic field.

A “contronym” is a word that’s its own opposite.
For example: if you seed the lawn you add seeds, but if you seed a tomato you remove them.

Bloodcurdling isn’t just an expression. Research shows that watching horror movies can increase a certain clotting protein in our blood.

The Aurora Borealis is only in the North Pole. The South Pole has it’s own set of lights, called the Aurora Australis.

The country with the most tornado touch downs is the United States of America. Each year, about a thousand tornadoes touch down.
