Random Knowledge

Dunno, felt like posting random stuff you may or may not need to know for life, but hey, it may be useful for, you know, looking smart or making small talk.

- A lion eating the sun is a symbol used in alchemy. It has double meaning; it may symbolize the removing of impurities of ore to stay with the precious, (gold) or it can also symbolize that being so obsessed with gold will eat your soul away. Weird... Also, it's a frequently spotted symbol in Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward (AKA VLR) a pretty fun and deep videogame for 3DS and PSVita.

- Drinking a glass of wine a day extends life.

- Bethoven's 5th Symphony has the same rythm as a "v" in Morse Code.
(Get it? FIFTH = V)

- In electric switches "o" means off while "-" means on. When the same button  is used to turn on and off a symbol like the one in the photo is displayed.

- No word rhymes with purple (excluding proper names... sorry Myrtle)

- Most scientists have agreed that the egg came before the hen.

- The area of a sphere is 4 πr².



Aaand... that's it! Did you know these things? Well, you might as well add these to your useless knowledge inventory!
