Hi there.

The profile actually looks like a heraldic lion, though. They really just have never seen a lion.

Hi there.
Jeanne Calment (1875-1997) met Van Gogh as a teenager and she remembered the construction of the Eiffel Tower.

Hi there.


This turtle was likely born in the same year as the aforementioned Conrad Heyer. It died in 2006.

Honestly I never understood why that had to be audible/so loud.

Because the sound itself contains the information for the provider to establish an internet connection with the client. The louder, the more likely it is to be "heard" correctly by the receiving end.

Hi there.
A former German Minister of Defense was called Karl-Theodor Maria Nikolaus Johann Jacob Philipp Wilhelm Franz Joseph Sylvester Freiherr von und zu Guttenberg by every newspaper you could find until someone found out that the Wilhelm was smuggled into the Wikipedia article as a vicious experiment. It proved that most journalists just copy-paste Wikipedia.

Hi there.

Entertaining movie, but not very accurate. Mozart might have been unreliable but he wasn't the effortless genius the movie wants him to be, and instead a super disciplined worker when it came to making music. Also Salieri was a highly regarded, uniquely creative composer and not at all untalented and envious.

That was, essentially, the joke. Also that it's based on a play, rather than a historical account.

Ah sorry I didn't get that. There's unfortunately quite a lot of people who think it's an accurate movie. I even remember watching it in a music lesson in school with the teacher taking it at face value.
