Tanks were so called because the Army were developing them for the War in secret and put out a story that they were working on mobile water tanks and the name stuck-Little Willie was the world's first tank built in 1915 having a dig at the Kaiser whose son called Wilhelm (STOP SNIGGERING AT THE BACK THERE!) and followed by Big Willie(LOOK, I HAVE A DETENTION BOOK!) or the Mark 1. Later we developed the Chieftain and Challenger which is the latest one.

The wrinkles that appear on the skin of your hands (after taking a bath, for example) play an important role.
This phenomenon is caused by the fact that when your body encounters an increased amount of moisture it understands that the environment might be slippery.

The groove between the nose and upper lip is called the philtrum.
This tiny indent is a residual reminder of time spent in your mother’s womb.

When these two sides fail to fuse properly, which happens in one out of every 750 births, the result is a cleft palate.
