Everest has nothing on this.
The Nepalese mountain might get all the attention, but Mauna Kea in Hawaii is actually technically the tallest mountain in the world…if you measure from base to summit (rather than from the sea level.
The only thing holding Mauna Kea back is that it’s mostly under water.

During World War II, British intelligence spread the rumor that the Royal Air Force pilots enjoyed superior night vision because they ate copious amounts of carrots.
It was a total lie. The truth was the RAF was using their newly invented radar to spot German planes in the dark.
It was a massive military secret, and in order to keep German intelligence “in the dark” they made up the carrot fact.

Found in 1991 in the Ötztal Alps, Ötzi “the Iceman” is the earliest natural human mummy ever found in Europe.
Ötzi was alive from sometime between 3400 and 3100 BCE. The most surprising thing about him? He had tattoos!
And not just a couple…researchers have identified a total of 61 different tattoos covering his body.
The tattoo ink itself was produced from ash or soot and is believed to have been used as a form of pain relief.

One form of prehistoric surgery used ants to sew up wounds.
Primarily practiced in the Americas, people would hold an ant above an open wound and wait for it to bite the skin with its pincers.
Once bitten, the head would be removed so that the pincers would stay in place as a stitch.

With so many girls on here going down with illness, I would say most germs are from their copious use of iPads, laptops and smartphones(not to mention bare flooring that some BS girls lie on) which have been proven to carry more germs than your toilet, so if you have one of those wipe it weekly with a cloth or special pad to avoid germs yourself and wash your hands after each use-you know it makes sense

Lobsters have bladders on either side of their heads, so they communicate by urinating at each other.
If they want another lobster to know that they're happy or sad or angry or interested in a relationship, they say it with pee!
