Intrigue and Unsolved Mysteries

Oh, dude, we're talking ancient history here! So, technically, according to Greek mythology, Achilles was around way before Leonidas. Achilles was a hero in the Trojan War, which happened way before Leonidas and his epic stand at Thermopylae. So, like, Achilles takes the trophy for being the OG hero in this scenario.

Well honey, if you divide one billion dollars by 400 people, each person would get $2.5 million. So if you're looking to spread the wealth, you better start making some new friends!

It is a sad truth but people still do kill rhinos. The black and white rhino are on the endangered species list. Rhino horns are a prized and expensive commodity in many countries, most of them in Asia. Long believed to help the libido, and to heal certain maladies, the rhino has been hunted into near extinction. Combined with the lack of habitat it is possible that this generation may see the last of the rhinos.

The first documented crop circle dates back to 1966 when three circles were found in Tully, Australia. The phenomenon became more widely known in the 1970s and 1980s when crop circles began appearing in fields with more elaborate designs.

If you were to poll scientists, the description "utter rubbish" would be frequently used to describe this prediction.

The ancient Mayans were quite good at making astronomical observations and using this data to predict things like eclipses. Of course, they were not nearly as good as modern scientists. The "end of the world" claim is based on modern sensationalists (who have lots of books that they would like to sell you) who claim that in their view, the Mayan calendar stops at December 21, 2012. Of course, the calender on your wall stops at December 31 2009, but that doesn't imply there will be no Jan 1, 2010.

If we consider a reputable scientist as one who works in science for a major university, I think you would be hard pressed to find even one who believed this.

One of the earliest reported crop circle was in Lyon, France in 815AD. In England, a late 16th century woodcut shows a crop circle being made by what was called a 'mowing devil'. As with UFO's, the mystery circles are not a recent occurance.

More than likely, you are near an airport. That is a beacon.

If they are advanced enough to visit our planet it stands to reason that they would have weapons that could do humans a great amount of harm. For alien abductees, they are in pain and feel horrified and sometimes even tortured at the hands of the abductors.

If a pyramid were to be struck by a tornado, it would likely sustain damage to its exterior walls and possibly lose some stones or show signs of structural weakening. The tornado could cause debris to scatter around the base of the pyramid and may result in some visible destruction to nearby structures or buildings.

The top five producers of carbon dioxide emissions are China, United States, India, Russia, and Japan. These countries contribute significantly to global carbon emissions due to their large populations and industrial activities.

The side zip actually used to be on the right. This is because the bulk of dressmakers were men up til the 19th century and they werent the ones wearing the dresses obviously, so women were also accustomed to wearing garments with this side zip. But basically, it was realized that most people are right handed so the act of crossing one's hand over to the left side was realized easier so in convenience for the right-handed majority, it was switched over in the recent 20th century.. We were actually discussing this last week in our collection development class!

There is no scientific evidence to suggest that aliens exist or pose a threat to humans. Claims of alien abduction are not supported by credible proof. It is important to rely on verified information and not be swayed by baseless beliefs or misinformation.

A person who believes in aliens is often referred to as an "alien enthusiast" or someone who is "believes in extraterrestrial life."

Stars differ in size, temperature, color, and mass. These differences dictate their brightness, lifespan, and the elements they produce through nuclear fusion reactions. Additionally, stars can vary in age, composition, and evolutionary stage, leading to a diverse range of stellar phenomena in the universe.

Watson and Crick are known for discovering the structure of DNA, not the "secret of life." They did not walk into a pub making such a claim.

Charles Darwin was born in 1809. He sailed around the coast of South America on a ship called the Beagle for five years, he began his journey at the age of 25. While sailing he collected many different types of plants and animals on the mainland and on islands. He discovered that animals are all unique to their own island and the animals would come up to the humans because they had never met humans before. One of his most famous theories is his idea of the survival of the fittest, also called natural selection. It basically means: The unequal ability of individuals to survive and reproduce.

Darwin proposed that organisms descended from common ancestors and that natural selection is the driving force for evolution. It took Darwin 25 years to publish his book about evolution. He thought that his theory took away a need for a God. Darwin's theory of evolution challenged both the Religious and the science community ideas at that time. Alfred Russel Wallace was the man who motivated Darwin to publish his book (The Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection) because Wallace had come up with the same theory Darwin had and Darwin wanted to get credit for his work so he published his book before Wallace could.

Charles Darwin first published his theory of evolution through natural selection in his book "On the Origin of Species" in 1859. However, he started developing his ideas on evolution during his voyage on the HMS Beagle in the 1830s.

Fossil fuels are considered finite because they are formed over millions of years from decaying organic matter, and their rate of formation is far slower than their rate of consumption. This means that once existing reserves are depleted, it would take millions of years to create more, making them a limited resource on Earth.

UFOs, or unidentified flying objects, are not directly connected to astronomy, which is the scientific study of celestial objects such as stars, planets, and galaxies. While astronomers may occasionally investigate reports of unusual aerial phenomena, UFOs are generally not considered a valid subject of study within the field of astronomy due to the lack of credible evidence supporting their extraterrestrial origins.

No, children with ADHD do not have a specific preference for eating lead pencils. Pica, a condition characterized by persistent and compulsive consumption of non-food items, can occur in some children with ADHD or other developmental disorders, but eating lead pencils specifically is not a common behavior associated with ADHD.

It is rumoured that there was a downed aircraft in Roswell, New Mexico, US, in A.D. 1947 which was alleged by several witnesses and one Colonel Philip Corso to have been of extraterrestrial origin.

Critically, though, there has not been any mainstream evidence presented that supports this hypothesis, for public consumption and analysis.

There is no reason to think UFOs are alien spacecraft, or that anything is "living in them". They're just things people see that they themselves can't identify-- that is what the U in UFO stands for, "unidentified". If they were alien spacecraft we would call them IAS, "Identified Alien Spacecraft".

If you believe it then aliens.

It's difficult to give an exact number, but in regions where moose are common, it's likely that many people have seen one at some point, especially in areas where they are frequently spotted in the wild.

They all have no paperwork so there is great difficulty proving who they are

Some of them might be terrorists pretending to be assylum seekers

Where do they get all that money from to pay the boat crew? Poor people there only earn a few dollars per week. They could also be terrorists pretending to be asylum seekers. They also might bring bad diseases that we don't already have here. They could bring insects and vermin that infect and destroy our animals and crops.
