The biggest lake in the world is the Caspian Sea. It’s called a “sea” because it’s filled with salt water. However, it isn’t connected to any ocean and lies below sea level. So technically, it’s a lake—the biggest lake, ahead of Lake Superior. |

The summit of the Chimborazo Volcano in Ecuador is the furthest point from the center of the Earth. Thought it was Everest? Nope! Because our planet is in the shape of an ellipse, its radius is longer at the equator than at the poles (21 km or 13 miles more). Chimborazo’s position makes it stand 6,384 km (3,967 miles) from the center of the Earth, versus 6,382 km (3,966 miles) for Everest. Keith! You got any funny sayings about 1 mile? |

The North Pole consists solely of ice and water. There is no shoreline or strip of land. It’s located in the Arctic Ocean, but it isn’t on any continent. |

You probably know that continents drift—but do you know how quickly? North America is moving away from Europe at a rate of 5 cm (about 2 inches) per year, which is about the same speed that fingernails grow! |

The Dead Sea, a saltwater lake surrounded by Israel, Jordan, and Palestine, is located 429 metres (1,407 feet) below sea level. It’s the lowest point on Earth and its water level is shrinking by 1.5 metres (5 feet) per year. |

Russia spans 11 time zones. When it’s 9 a.m. in Moscow, it’s 8 p.m. in Siberia. Some countries with territories on several continents have a similar span. But Russia is the only country on Earth that has this particular situation over one continuous territory. |

The continent of Antarctica holds 90 per cent of the world’s fresh water reserves. If global warming melts the Antarctic ice sheets, the level of the oceans could rise by 70 metres (230 feet) all around the world. But before that happened, all human life on Earth would have disappeared. For the ice sheet to completely melt, there would have to be a 10-degree Celsius (18-degree Fahrenheit) rise in the global temperature, which would be fatal for humans. |

Bad news for anyone who saw the new Lincoln Continental Coach Door Edition last month and thought, “Look at those incredible suicide doors. I must own one.” Ford Motor Company announced that the 2019 model was completely sold out, with the Detroit Free Press noting that all 80 units were snapped up within 48 hours of the vehicle’s debut. $110,000 is the price tag BTW. |

What seems to be a meteorite has struck the western Cuban town of Viñales, according to local news reports. Residents reported loud explosions and a trail in the sky earlier this afternoon, and the U.S. National Weather Service confirmed having received reports of a meteorite seen in the skies above the Florida Keys. Reporters at the Cuban television station TelePinar tweeted that they’d found palm-sized black stones after the blast, ironically near a mural of dinosaurs. https://i.postimg.cc/QdNZ8Py2/screenshot-6844.png |

Ever take a close look at a tube of toothpaste and noticed a colored block toward the bottom? Most of the time it’s blue, red, green, or black. It’s not an aesthetic choice by the toothpaste manufacturer, nor is it a hidden signal about the chemicals used to make the toothpaste. Those are two or the more popular explanations. However, these colored blocks on the tube are actually called “eye marks.” They tell the machines on the assembly line where to cut and fold the packaging. Without it, tubes of toothpaste would be attached to one another, making it awfully difficult to apply any to your toothbrush. |

Unless someone else ties your shoelaces for you, there’s no way you haven’t noticed the extra unused holes at the top of your shoes. It’s not a design flaw; in fact, the extra holes are there for your benefit. People who get blisters on their feet or can feel their feet moving around inside their shoe can place their shoelaces in those extra holes but in the opposite direction. This creates a loop on each side, allowing you to cross your laces inside each loop. Then you pull down on the laces to create a much tighter lock before tying your laces normally. This maneuver is called the “lace lock” or “heel lock” and it helps ensure that your shoes remain tight to your feet |

At a certain point in our lives, we’ve all used a padlock for one reason or another. You may or may not have noticed that there’s a little hole, sometimes two, at the bottom of the padlock. These holes actually serve two important purposes for the lock itself. First, they allow any water that gets inside to drain out of the lock. Often times, locks are used outside, so they have to be prepared to handle the elements. If water couldn’t drain out and it ended up freezing, the lock would suffer some serious damage since water expands when it freezes. Second, the holes allow you to pour oil or WD-40 into the lock in case it gets jammed and won’t open up. Without the hole for pouring oil, once the lock became stuck, it’d be useless. |

Let’s be honest, how many people have ever taken a close up look at their microwave? Probably not too many of us. If you have, you may have noticed the black grating on the microwave door. This is called a Faraday shield, and it’s not an aesthetic choice, it’s super important. The Faraday shield is in place to prevent electromagnetic fields from leaving the microwave and causing harm to people who are waiting for their hot pocket to heat up. Without it, not only would your safety be at risk, but the microwave wouldn’t be effective in cooking your food. So, next time you complain about not being able to see inside the microwave, remember that there’s an important reason why that’s the case. |

At first glance, there appears to be something wrong with your pen’s cap because it has a hole in it. Fear not, because this was totally done on purpose, and no it’s not because the company wants the pen to dry out and force you to buy more. They are actually there so that air can flow through in the event the cap is swallowed accidentally by a child or adult. Remember, a lot of adults have the bad habit of putting pen caps in their mouth and it only takes one bad move until the cap ends up in the back of their throat. |
