Yeah, noticed that, too.

The Jim twins were separated at birth and reunited at 39.
They quickly found that they had lived oddly similar lives.
Both had married and divorced someone named Linda, were currently married to a Betty, had sons named James Allan, had dogs named Toy, drove the same car, had jobs in security, and regularly vacationed at the same beach in Florida.

This photo from 1902 shows French knife grinders. They would work on their stomachs in order to save their backs from being hunched all day.
They were also encouraged to bring their dogs to work to keep them company and also act as mini heaters by having them rest on their owners’ legs.
They were also called ventres jaunes (“yellow bellies” in English) because of the yellow dust that would be released from the grinding wheel.

Well, they had a point about the back pain - though having the grinder mounted higher helps with that. I'm not gonna lay on my belly to grind a blade...and my dog is way too much of a spaz to try to work with her laying on me.
I'm sitting here with a backache, & I'm taking notes.
I know it's not in the curriculum but do you teach your students that? We need to get the word out.

Abraham Lincoln wrote his own speeches, and repeatedly said that he had no intention of freeing any slaves !
Just READ the actual speeches, not excerpts from them like we see in the “history books”.

The first model of the Starship Enterprise that was built was 3 feet long and made of wood. It was used in early publicity stills, and was the first filming model for the original pilot episode "The Cage" that starred Jeffrey Hunter as Captain Pike, before he was replaced with William Shatner's Kirk.
After the show ended, Gene Roddenberry had it mounted on a flexible mount with a nice wood base and a brass plaque, and kept in at his home on proud display. When time came around for a new Star Trek TV series in 1978 - which became "Star Trek: The Motion Picture" - Roddenberry lent the model to the special effects house the studio had hired to use as a reference for the updated USS Enterprise.
He never saw the model again.
Earlier this year, someone in California bought the contents of an abandoned storage unit at auction, sight-unseen. Inside were a lot of papers and props from various forgotten productions the previous owner had been involved with...and in the back, in a box, was the original Enterprise model, showing some effects of storage in less-than-ideal conditions but mostly intact.

In 2016, a 26-year-man from the U.K., named Ben Innes, was on an EgyptAir flight to Cairo.
During the flight, a passenger named Seif Eldin Mustafa, hijacked the plane, wearing a vest packed with explosives and carrying a detonator.
The hijacker demanded that the pilot land the plane in Cyprus instead of Egypt. The pilot obliged fearing the terrorist would detonate the bomb if he didn’t.
Upon arriving in Cyprus, Seif Eldin released 52 out of the 55 terrified passengers but kept 3 passengers as well as 4 of the plane's crew on board as hostages.
Among these remaining 7 was Ben Innes.
Ben decided to walk up to the hijacker and then ask him if he could take a selfie. Although slightly bewildered, the hijacker allowed him to take the picture.
Thankfully, the bomb turned out to be fake. Seif Eldin was arrested and the remaining 7 people on board were freed.
When questioned about why he took the photo, Ben explained that he was attempting to remain optimistic. He reasoned that if the bomb turned out to be real, he felt he would have nothing to lose anyway.

Mike the Headless Chicken, aka "Miracle Mike" was an American chicken that lived for 18 months after a failed slaughter attempt in 1945.
When Mike did not die after being struck with an axe, farmer Lloyd Olsen instead decided to care for the bird. He fed it a mixture of milk and water via an eyedropper, and gave it small grains of corn.
After nearly 2 years of nationwide fame, Mike choked to death on a corn kernel in 1947.
