Sunglasses were not originally designed to protect your eyes from the sun.
The original idea behind this was so that Chinese judges could hide their facial expressions in court. Today, they mainly serve as protective eyewear and as well as a fashionable accessory.

North and South Dakota were admitted to the Union on November 2, 1889, as the 39th and 40th states. President Harrison shuffled the statehood papers before signing them so that no one could tell which became a state first; consequently, the two states are officially numbered in alphabetical order.
