Donald has tasted McDonald’s burgers in every U.S. state, Canada, and several other countries.
In half a century, he’s only missed eight days. Once, during a blizzard, he made his way to the restaurant—only to find it closed.

British Captain Robert Campbell fought against the Germans in France during World War I. On August 24, 1914, he was severely wounded, captured, and sent to a POW camp in Magdeburg.
In November 1916, he received news that his mother, Louise, was dying of cancer. Campbell wrote a letter to German Emperor Wilhelm II, pleading for permission to return to England to visit her one last time.
He was granted the Kaiser’s approval—two weeks for personal leave, plus four days for travel each way—on his honor as an officer. Campbell traveled to England and, true to his word, returned to captivity, where he remained until the war ended.

Cause of death: an exceptionally long beard
This story dates back to 1567.
Hans Steininger, an Austrian, gained worldwide fame partly for having the longest beard in the world at the time—measuring 1.4 meters. But more than anything, he became remembered as a victim of that very beard.
During a devastating fire in his hometown, Hans fled in panic. In his haste, he failed to tuck the beard properly to keep it off the ground. As he ran, he accidentally stepped on the end of his own 1.5-meter beard, lost his balance, fell, and broke his neck—ending his life in a tragic, unexpected twist.

11 out of the 19 hijackers involved in the September 11, 2001 plane attacks were unaware they were embarking on a suicide mission. Most likely, they believed the operation was aimed at freeing extremists involved in previous attacks. Only those trained to pilot the aircraft knew the truth.

Facts about A.S. Pushkin's works:
Pushkin's "The Tale of the Fisherman and the Fish" was inspired by the Brothers Grimm story "The Fisherman and His Wife." In Pushkin's version, the old woman ends up back at her broken trough after demanding to become "ruler of the sea," while her German counterpart, at that same stage, had already become the Pope. Only when she goes further—wishing to become God Himself—does she end up with nothing.

In 1956, during the Giro d’Italia, cyclist Fiorenzo Magni crashed on stage twelve and broke his left collarbone. He refused a cast, had his shoulder bound, and kept riding. A mechanic rigged up a device allowing him to steer and shift gears. On stage sixteen, he crashed again—this time fracturing his humerus. He lost consciousness from the pain, but after medical treatment, he rejoined the race. Over the next mountain descents, he couldn’t brake with his left hand. Still, he finished all 23 stages. And in an almost unimaginable feat, he came second overall—just three and a half minutes behind the leader.
