Titan, Saturn’s largest moon, is the only moon known to have a fully developed atmosphere. In fact, it is about 50% denser than Earth’s.

Since 1945, all British tanks have come equipped with tea making facilities.

Ah, yes. The "BV" (boiling vessel). Useful for much more than just making tea and standard equipment on almost all British armored fighting vehicles. Nice.

The Willis Tower (nee Sears Tower), built in the 1970's, is designed to withstand a 3 foot sway, but rarely sways more than 6 inches The Empire State Building was built a lot less flexible than more modern towers. The Empire State Building sways under 2 inches, even in 100+mph wind. My useless fact The Willis Tower is not straight. It was constructed with a 4 inch permanent lean to the west. This was not originally planned but a byproduct of the slightly asymmetrical construction of the tower.
