Copper is non-magnetic, though it creates resistance in the presence of a strong magnetic field, causing the magnet to halt for a moment before it even touches the copper.

NASA had to change the labeling of the penis sleeve for urinating in spacesuits from "small", "medium" and "large" to "large", "giant" and "huge", because astronauts chose only large ones, and they slipped off.

The size of the circle indicates the strength of the earthquake on the Richter scale, and the color indicates the depth of its origin.

Many Japanese families chose not to have children in 1966 due to their superstition of “Hinoe-Uma (Fire-Horse)”. Fire-Horse is the 43rd combination of the sexagenary cycle, which happens every 60 years. The superstition is that women born in this year of the “Fire-Horse” have a bad personality and will kill their future husband. I presume the parents then were worried about their daughter’s huge disadvantage in the future marriage market, so they chose to avoid the risk of having a girl. Sex detection during pregnancy was not available then, so many families avoided having children altogether in 1966. This kind of superstition seems to have been more prevalent in rural areas than in urban areas, because the fertility drop in urban areas was less than in rural areas.
