Scotland has over 400 words meaning snow.
Some examples: “snaw” (snow), “feefle” (swirls of snow), and “flindrinkin” (a light snow shower). And that giant 15 inch snowflake that fell in Montana—that would be called a “skelf.”

Iceland should have 200 words for snow more correctly 200 words for snow/snow weather variations Markus

No word in the English language rhymes with month, orange, silver and purple.

In 1386, in France, a Pig was convicted and executed for killing a child. The defendant, a young pig, was arrested for attacking a baby’s face. When complications from the injuries ultimately killed the three-month-old, the pig was sent to jail and later, publicly executed after failing to provide a solid defense for its crimes.

In 2006, an Australian man opened a bid on the e-commerce platform for the country of New Zealand. Bids started at $0.01. Bidding prices climbed all the way to $3,000 before e-bay officials shut it down, adding “clearly New Zealand is not for sale.” Still, New Zealand was salty about the prank. The country’s foreign minister at the time even called it “nonsensical stupidity.”

More people are killed annually by donkeys than airplane crashes.
