The first ever 3D film was released in cinemas in 1922.
Released in September of that year, The Power of Love was a silent film and was released in cinemas worldwide.
It even came with alternative ending that was decided by closing one eye or the other!
Sadly, the film is lost and hasn’t been found for decades!

Scientists genetically modified goats to spin spider silk from their udders.
US Professor Randy Lewis transplanted a gene into the goats from a spider that allows the goats to produce milk containing an extra protein.
This is then extracted from the goat milk and spun into spider silk thread.

Sleeping burns more calories than watching TV does.
The main reason for this is that our sleeping selves take in exactly zero calories, but while we’re watching the tube, we often get tempted to eat.
Commercials and product placement don’t help matters.

A cat version of a corgi exists.
It’s called a “Munchkin cat,” and, like the corgi and the dachshund, its short legs and long body are the results of a genetic mutation.
If a cat possesses the autosomal dominant gene, which causes the leg bones to grow shorter, it can pass the trait on to its kittens.

According to a Georgia State University study, people with blue eyes tend to have a higher tolerance for alcohol and can drink more before they begin to feel the effects.
The flip side of this bit of random trivia?
It also means that blue-eyed people are more likely to become dependent on alcohol.
Researchers discovered a significant link between the genes that determine eye color and the genes that impact addictive habits.

On Corgis(lovely toys those
) they are good guard dogs, which is why the Queen likes them. When I was young some friends round the corner from us had two, one of them was a real vicious bastard and yapped at a friend of mine and then chased him up the road.
