Sometimes it seems that you’ve seen so much in this life that nothing will be able to surprise you ever again. And then you accidentally overheard someone mentions something amazing, like the fact that Charlie Chaplin once entered a Charlie Chaplin lookalike contest… and lost it! Yeah… There are a looot of strange things in the world.
Do you know, for example, where the quietest room in the world is? Or which countries still use the imperial units? Or in what town you can see the fish rain? Or what animal can clean its own ears with its tongue? Oh, the world is such an amazing place! And just because we grow up, it doesn’t mean that our curiosity about the world around us goes away!
