🎉 After death, you could become a fireworks display

In the US, there’s a service that transforms human ashes into a fireworks show. The creators say it’s a “joyful” way to say goodbye to a loved one. Here’s how it works: the body is cremated, the family picks their preferred colors, the ashes are mixed with colored pyrotechnic powders, and then—boom—a personalized tribute lights up the sky.

In a small, remote village where folk healers' advice was trusted more than doctors', lived a woman. When her stomach began to swell, no one doubted the reason — she was pregnant. In fact, local "healers" insisted that such a large belly could only mean one thing: she was carrying multiple babies.

How Al Capone was humiliated in prison?

Once, Capone and other inmates were lined up in the barbershop for their monthly haircut. The powerful Capone saw no reason to wait and cut straight to the front, interrupting the haircut of James Lucas, a Texas bank robber serving a 30-year sentence. Lucas knew who Capone was—but couldn’t have cared less. Annoyed, he snapped:

- Hey, fat ass, get to the back of the line!
- Do you even know who I am, you fool? — Capone shot back.
