Harley Davidson
In 1901, William S. Harley, age 22, drew up plans for a small engine with a displacement of 7.07 cubic inches (116 cc) and four-inch (102 mm) flywheels. The engine was designed for use in a regular pedal-bicycle frame.
Over the next two years, Harley and his childhood friend, Arthur Davidson worked on their motor-bicycle using the northside Milwaukee machine shop at the home of their friend, Henry Melk. It was finished in 1903 with the help of Arthur's brother, Walter Davidson.
Upon testing their power-cycle, Harley and the Davidson brothers found it unable to climb the hills around Milwaukee without pedal assistance. They quickly wrote off their first motor-bicycle as a valuable learning experiment.
It was one of three major American motorcycle manufacturers to survive the Great Depression. By 1931, only three US manufacturers had survived the great depression so far:
Indian, which produced its first motorcycle in 1902
Harley-Davidson, built its first motorcycle in 1903
Excelsior-Henderson-first bike in 1905
However, EH foresaw the continuing depression and stopped production on March 31, 1931. Indian fought longer but sales continued to decline. It was forced to halt production in 1953.
Only Harley-Davidson kept continuous operations.

Consuming Fish
Fish has all essential amino acids that humans need to survive. However, we could die if we had only fish in our diet. This is because fish has no Vitamin C which is crucial for human survival.
Even today we use few drops of lemon when eating cooked fish. Only fish that consumes plankton has vitamin C, but only way to properly extract it is to eat fish raw with the contents of their intestines.

Bruce Lee's challenge
Bruce Lee was once challenged in the 1960s for revealing the secrets of Chinese to others. He won the fight, but he was not happy. He took 3 minutes to win the fight when he could have completed in one minute. This less than perfect experience had made him modify the traditional martial arts to make them more deadly and powerful.
Dedication, determination and the confidence that he can achieve what he wants, are what that made Bruce Lee so successful.

What is Kosher?
The Hebrew word "Kasheir," or "Kosher," means fit or proper. When applied to food, the term indicates that an item is fit for consumption according to Jewish law. The word "Kashruth" refers to the general subject of Kosher food.
There are three categories of Kosher food - Meat, Dairy and Parve (or Pareve).
Meat - For an animal to be Kosher, it must have split hooves and chew its cud, for example: cow, goat, lamb etc. Non-Kosher animals include pig, horse, camel and rabbit. Kosher fowl include chicken, turkey, goose, and certain duck. Animals and fowl must be slaughtered by a specialist, called a shochet, and then soaked and salted in accordance with Jewish law. All carnivorous animals and fowl and the blood of all animals and fowl, and any derivatives or products thereof, are not Kosher.
Dairy - Milk and milk products (cheese, cream, butter, etc) of a Kosher animal are Kosher-Dairy. These may not be eaten in combination with meat or fowl.
Parve - Foods which contain neither meat nor dairy ingredients are called "Parve." All fruits, grains and vegetables in their natural state are Kosher and Parve. Fish which have fins and scales are Kosher and Parve. Some examples are salmon, halibut and carp. Not Kosher fish species include sturgeon, catfish and swordfish. All shellfish, eel, sharks, underwater mammals, and reptiles are not Kosher. A Parve item can become either dairy or meat depending pn whether it is cooked together with food in either category. For Example, fish fried in butter is considered dairy, not Parve.
Certain grain products and their derivatives, although Kosher the rest of the year, may not be used during Passover. In addition, in many communities legumes are not permitted on Passover. Kosher for Passover items may be made only with utensils that are Kosher for Passover according to Jewish law.
The separation of meat and dairy products also applies to the utensils used for storing, preparing and serving these foods. Therefore, completely separate sets of pots, dishes, cutlery, etc. must be used for meat and dairy foods. Kosher food prepared in pots used previously for preparing non-Kosher food may become not Kosher.

Motorola
The first product Motorola started to develop was a record player for automobiles. Company founder Paul V. Galvin created the brand name Motorola for the car radio, linking "motor" for Motorcar with "ola", which implied sound.
Thus the Motorola brand meant sound in motion. The name Motorola was adopted in 1930, and the word has been used as a trademark since the 1930s.

Why the hands on the timepiece are placed at Ten-Ten
The hands on the timepieces are placed at Ten-Ten in advertisements, so the Company logo on the face will be framed and not blocked by the hands. In addition, this position of the hands resembles a smile.
Portmanteau
When two words are combined to form a single word, for example, motor + hotel= motel, breakfast + lunch = brunch, the new word formed is called a 'Portmanteau'.
Thunder
Thunder is caused by air rushing into the vacuum created by lightening. You can't have thunder without lightening.
Gone With The Wind
Gone With the Wind is the only Civil War epic filed without a single battle scene.

The Great Train Robbery
In August 1963, 15 men tamper with train signals and stop the Glasgow to London mail train, stealing £2.6 million without firing a shot. Thirteen suspects of the Great Train Robbery are arrested and imprisoned. Three escaped jail and become folk heroes, one of whom got his life made into a movie starring Phil Collins. The lost money is never recovered.
Naaman Diller
In 1983, the costliest theft in Israel’s history saw 106 timepieces worth millions of dollars disappear from a Jerusalem museum. Included in the timepieces was a pocket watch made for Marie Antoinette which is valued at more than £19m ($30 million).
At the time, evidence at the scene led to speculation that it had been committed by at least four burglars. The case remained unsolved for almost 25 years until 2006 when a Tel Aviv watchmaker told police that he had paid some $40,000 to an anonymous person to buy 40 items including Marie Antoinette’s pocket watch.
Forensic experts examined the clocks and detectives questioned the lawyer who negotiated the sale. The trail led to an Israeli woman in Los Angeles named Nili Shamrat who police identified as the widow of Naaman Diller who was a notorious criminal in the 1960s and 1970s.
When Israeli police and US officials arrived at her home to question her they found more stolen clocks. Shamrat then told the police that her husband who she had recently married confessed to her just before he died that he had committed the heist. Diller had acted alone after discovering that the museum's alarm system was not working and the guard was posted at the front of the building. Behind the cover of a parked truck, Diller used a crowbar to prise apart the bars on a rear window. Items he could not remove in one piece were dismantled. Diller stashed many of the stolen items in safety deposit boxes in Europe and the USA, before settling in Los Angeles. He then advised his wife to try and sell his collection after his death.
The Marie Antoinette watch was actually self winding and was ordered in 1783 by one of her admirers and was to be made by the famous Swiss watchmakers Abraham Louis Breguet. The order specified that gold should be used wherever possible instead of other metals and to make it the most spectacular watch possible. The watch was finally finished in 1827, 34 years after Marie-Antoinette was guillotined and four years after Breguet’s death.

The Poe Toaster
The Poe Toaster is the nickname given to a mysterious person who pays annual tribute to Edgar Alan Poe by visiting his grave every year. The strange tradition started in 1949 – a century are after Poe’s death, and it occurs every year on the author’s birthday (January 19). According to Wikipedia: “In the early hours of the morning on that date, a black-clad figure, presumed to be male, with a silver-tipped cane enters the Westminster Hall and Burying Ground in Baltimore, Maryland. The individual proceeds to Poe’s grave, where he or she raises a cognac toast. Before departing, the Toaster leaves three red roses and a half-bottle of cognac on the grave.”
The Toaster wears a black hat and coat and hides his face with a hood or scarf. Groups of reporters and admirers are often on hand to watch the event. There have been no attempts to interfere with the Toaster or to unmask him – most likely out of respect for the tradition.

The Taos Hum
The ‘Taos Hum’ is a low-pitched sound heard in numerous places worldwide, especially in the USA, UK, and northern europe. It is usually heard only in quiet environments, and is often described as sounding like a distant diesel engine. Since it has proven indetectable by microphones or VLF antennae, its source and nature is still a mystery.
In 1997 Congress directed scientists and observers from some of the most prestigious research institutes in the nation to look into a strange low frequency noise heard by residents in and around the small town of Taos, New Mexico. For years those who had heard the noise, often described by them as a “hum”, had been looking for answers. To this day no one knows the cause of the hum.

The Tomb of Vlad Dracula
Most famous as Bram Stoker’s vampire character, Count Dracula, the real Dracula was actually a prince of Wallachia (now part of Romania). A defender against the Turks, he has been portrayed as both a patriotic hero and a ruthless villain. Vlad Dracula was a merciless ruler who impaled and tortured between 40,000 and 100,000 of his enemies, both Turks and fellow countrymen who posed a threat to his power. After three separate reigns, he was killed in battle against the Turks near Bucharest in 1476. The Turks cut off his head and sent it to the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire, Mehmed II. The final resting place of the rest of his body is unknown.
The most widely accepted theory about Vlad’s tomb is that he was buried at the island monastery of Snagov. However, after several archeological excavations of the island, Vlad’s body was not recovered. The other speculation is that Vlad’s body may have been originally buried at the Comana Monastery, however, the monastery was rebuilt in the seventeenth century and no body has ever been found there, either. Another option comes from superstition, because of tales of vampires running rampant in Wallachia at the time- Vlad could have been moved anywhere to protect the monks from being killed in their sleep.

Junk Food
Consumption of junk food provides little or no nutrition due to unhealthy ingredients. Junk food is often considered unhealthy especially when eaten regularly.
Credit for the phrase ‘junk food’ is given to Michael Jacobson who coined it in 1972 to describe food that provides no nutritional value.
Paul Johnson and Paul Kenny of Scripps Research Center performed a study which concluded that junk food has similar addictive qualities as that of heroin.

Robot
The word Robot comes from the Czech word ‘robotnik‘ which means forced labour or even slave.
The word was first introduced by playwright Karel Capek in his play ‘RUR – Rossum’s Universal Robots‘ and it’s from there that the word and idea became popular.
The first robot to be developed was by Joseph Engelberger and George Devol back in 1961. The first robot was basically a clawed arm that dropped hot steel car parts into water for cooling.

The Hubble Telescope
The Hubble Telescope was funded for in the 1970′s but did not launch until April 1990 due to technical delays and the Challenger Disaster. Hubble is the only satellite designed to be serviced in space by astronauts.
Hubble Space Telescope is named after Edwin Hubble, who helped change understandings by demonstrating the existence of galaxies, other than the Milky Way.

Dead Sea
Despite it’s name, the Dead Sea, which is located between the borders of Israel and Jordan is actually a lake. Sitting in a valley almost 400 meters below sea level, it is positioned not only at the lowest point on Earth, but also happens to be the second saltiest lake in the world. The first saltiest being, Lake Assal in Djibouti, Africa.
In fact, the Dead Sea is so salty, almost eight times saltier than regular sea water, that nothing except small plants and salt loving bacteria survive, explaining why it’s called the Dead Sea - nothing in it survives.

Blinking Eyes
The number of eye blinks varies greatly from about 29 blinks each minute, if you are talking to someone, to only 4 blinks each minute if you are reading.
The Atacama Desert
We all know that deserts are one of the driest places in the world but did you know that the Atacama desert in Chile is the driest.
To understand what that really means let’s take as an example the Sahara desert (the worlds largest hot desert) and note that it receives a meager 2mm of rain each year.
Now if you think that’s nothing then just imagine how dry the Atacama is, when it receives just 0.1mm per year. In fact some parts of the desert have not seen rainfall for over 400 years making it in most estimations the driest place on the planet earth.

The fourth funnel on the Titanic
In what is now an iconic image, the side view of the Titanic clearly shows four cream and black funnels. While three of these released the steam from the boilers, the fourth was just for show. The designers thought the ship would look more impressive with four funnels rather than three.
Salty Oceans
If you could evaporate all the water out of all the oceans and spread the resulting salt over all the land on Earth, you would have a five hundred-foot layer coating everything.

Six Hit
Jones had taken his wife to a cricket match. She sat through the first innings although plainly bored. In the second innings a batsman gave a tremendous swipe and knocked the ball out of the ground.
'Thank goodness they got rid of it,' she sighed. 'Now, we can all go home.'

Sunil Gavaskar
Gavaskar had decided to come in at no 4 for the test at Madras in 1983. But Malcolm Marshall got Anshuman Gaekwad and Dilip Vengsarkar for ducks , Gavaskar had to walk in at 0/2.
Viv Richards to Sunil Gavaskar:
"Man, it don't matter where you come in to bat, the score is still zero."
Gavaskar made 236* in that innings.

Stonefish
Believed to be one of the deadliest fish in the world, the Stonefish is definitely the most venomous. Stonefish primarily inhabit coral reefs, but can also be found dormant in mud or sand in the Indo-Pacific region and northern Australian waters.
Hitler's moustache
Hitler was advised to lose his trademark moustache by Dr Sedgwick, his press secretary, in 1923. Hitler’s steadfast response was that “If it is not the fashion now, it will be later because I wear it!”
Much discrepancy has arisen over the true origin of Hitler’s infamous moustache. His love of Charlie Chaplin is often cited as the chief inspiration. His contemporary Moritz Frey, however, claimed it derived from a more practical consideration, harking back to his time as a soldier during the Great War – an order from a superior officer to trim his whiskers to accommodate the regulation gas mask.
Nevertheless, the short, stubby style was fairly popular in the region of Austria where Hitler grew up. Others suggest it acted predominantly as a visual aide, in creating the instantly-recognisable larger than life persona; the ‘toothbrush’ has certainly become synonymous with oppression and fascism, even over half a century later.

Heart Study
In 1948, the Framingham Heart Study enrolled more than 5,000 residents of Framingham, Massachusetts, to participate in a long-term study of risk factors for heart disease. Very long term—the study is now enrolling the grandchildren of the original volunteers.
It and subsequent ambitious and painstaking epidemiological studies have shown that one’s risk of heart disease, stroke, diabetes, certain kinds of cancer and other health problems increases in a dose-dependent manner upon exposure to delicious food. Steak, salty French fries, eggs Benedict, triple-fudge brownies with whipped cream—turns out they’re killers. Sure, some tasty things are healthy—blueberries, snow peas, nuts and maybe even red wine.
But on balance, human taste preferences evolved during times of scarcity, when it made sense for our hunter-gatherer ancestors to gorge on as much salt and fat and sugar as possible. In the age of Hostess pies and sedentary lifestyles, those cravings aren’t so adaptive.

Rainbow
Most people think the only colors of a rainbow are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet, but a rainbow is actually made up of an entire continuum of colors—even colors the eye can't see!
Braking system in Trains
Trains usually have four braking systems available, with one propulsion system.
That is because it is much harder to stop than to get moving. If the retarding effort available could be transformed into propulsive force, there is enough to put that train into orbit.
