The width of the rings on Saturn are 170,000 miles. Yet the thickness of the rings is only 65 feet!

NASA is credited (wrongly) with inventing Velcro, Tang, and Teflon—myths it busts on its own website, although it does point out that these products were all used by NASA programs at one point or another after they were invented. But this invention is indisputable: the Super Soaker water gun, which was created by former NASA systems engineer Lonnie Johnson

According to NASA's history site, the various 3'-by-5' nylon flags that were sent to the moon on the Apollo 11 mission were all purchased at a Sears store in Houston, near the Manned Spacecraft Center. Apparently, NASA secretaries had been deployed to make these purchases on their lunch hours.

The Jersey Devil, a horned, winged, horse-like creature, is thought to roam somewhere in New Jersey's forests.

Also dubbed the Leeds Devil, this creature is thought of as a winged bipedal horse - a combination that could be described as a horse-like creature with wings.
The story of the Jersey Devil has been around since the 1700s. The legend states that a woman named Mother Leeds became pregnant with her 13th child, and said "Let this one be [a/the] devil." Once the child was born, it grew hooves, wings, horns, and a tail. It's believed that the legendary animal is indestructible and cannot die, despite being exorcised, shot, incinerated and declared dead.

The creature is said to have been spotted some 13 times in New Jersey. The state has embraced the legend so much that they named their hockey team after it.

Young-sung Kim, an artist from Seoul, Korea, paints hyper realistic pictures that look too real to believe.

Kim, 46, uses oil on canvas to create the stunning paintings that can look more realistic than photographs to the naked eye.

According to the artist, each of his paintings can take anywhere from three to 10 months to complete.

Kim's paintings sell for anywhere from $20,000 to $100,000.

The bizarre catch of a piranha last week at Westwood Lake in British Columbia, Canada, is a concern but experts say the public has little to worry about.

"The red-bellied piranha is a tropical fish and cannot survive in our winter climate," the B.C. Conservation Officer Service stated in a Facebook announcement.

The small white “D” in the blue field of the plate leads me to believe it is Deutschland or Germany.

Mr70 09-30-2019 10:47 PM

I believe that's right.
