Some click-type torque wrenches have a lower limit of 50 ft-lbs, anything below this is considered hand tightened.

The closest anything has ever gotten to the speed of light (that isn't light, obvs) is the "Oh my god" particle or OMG particle (scientists aren't very creative with naming). It travels at 0.99999999999999999999999 times the speed of light.

Housing some of the most massive stars in the local universe, the Tarantula Nebula is so bright that if it were as close to Earth as the Orion Nebula (1,500 light years instead of 160,000), it would cast shadows.

Sharks will die if they stop swimming.! Their gills don't have a mechanism to get oxygen on its own; the sharks have to move so water can pass through the gill slits on the side of their bodies. If a shark stops moving, it won't be able to breathe.

Popcorn was banned in most movie theaters in the 1920s as it was considered too noisy.

Under the motion picture censorship code in effect from 1934 to 1968, a screen kiss lasting longer than thirty seconds would be judged "indecent."

Two tons of Argentine horse tails were used to make the hairy covering for the 40-foot high, 6.5-ton mechanical ape look lifelike in the 1976 remake of the 1933 film classic King Kong.

Metric measurement is common in modern cars, some exceptions that still use SAE are light truck/off-road tires. A tire such as 31x 10.50 R15 LT is 32inches tall, 10.5 inches wide with a 15 inch rim, in comparison to a passenger car tire with 215/60R17 having 225mm width aspect ratio of 60 and 17 inch rims.

In direct relation to this, I've removed most if not all SAE wrenches, sockets, and tools from my kits. In my experience there has been little need for them.

It is almost impossible to get metric-sized brake tubing in a small town. Most part vendors sell "metric" brake tubing, but in reality, it is an SAE-sized tubing( usually 3/16-inch inside diameter) with metric sized and metric threaded fasteners.

Rats giggle when tickled, but the sound is so high-pitched that it cannot be heard by human ears alone.
