The winter in the Niagara Falls in 1932 is so cold the Falls froze completely.

Forks, the widely used eating utensils, were once seen as blasphemous. They were first introduced in Italy in the 11th Century. These spiked spaghetti-twirling instruments were seen as an offense to God. And why, do you ask? Because they were "artificial hands" and as such was considered to be sacrilegious.

there are "sling bullets" from the 4th century (basically little pointy stones) that have words chiseled into them. The words translate to"take that"

- I'm glad I wasn't around by then...

LOL glad I wasn't born then too...... and I live around there!

A Woman Was Elected to Congress Before Women Could Vote

Jeanette Rankin became the first female member of the U.S. Congress in 1916—four years before women could vote.

hhmmmmm and now we need equal pay!!

Thank you so much!

Did you know that Aaron Burr (the man who shot Alexander Hamilton) tried to get a bust made of his head once, but the cast they put around his face to get the shape somehow reacted with his skin and dyed his nose purple for several days. This made him so angry that when the bust was done he immediately shattered it.

, Napoleon was once attacked by a horde of rabbits. Apparently he went on a planned rabbit hunt, but got charged at by 3000 floppy eared critters. "It's got big pointy teeth!"

Thank you for the gifts!

Wyoming refused to join the United States without a guarantee that women would be allowed to vote. In 1869, the territory of Wyoming made history when it passed a law granting women aged twenty-one and older the right to vote. That law was threatened two decades later when Wyoming applied for statehood. Congress stated that it wouldn’t allow the territory to join the union unless women were disenfranchised. Wyoming called Congress out on its bluff, replying via telegram, “We will remain out of the Union one hundred years rather than come in without the women.” Congress relented and Wyoming became a state in 1890, with women’s right to vote intact. True to its past, Wyoming’s state motto today is simply, “Equal Rights.” SOURCE

In the ancient middle east, special carts were invented specifically to carry the long, fat tails of sheep, so that they would not drag on the ground.

movie trailers were originally shown after the movie, which is why they were called “trailers”

Texas is the only state to have the flags of 6 different nations fly over it. They are: Spain, France, Mexico, Republic of Texas, Confederate States, and the United States.

I got one! It's really weird but it's true. In 19th century Paris an occultist came up with a snail telegram. The idea was that once they mated, snails would form a psychic bond and these snails plus some letters could be used to transmit messages. Of course, this occultist bailed when a more rigorous trial was set for the experiment. Someone even wrote a whole article about it (warning: mentions snails being harmed) and I fell into a rabbit hole researching this. It's a really weird idea for someone to have to begin with!
