The Millau Viaduct in southern France is the tallest bridge in the world. Opened on 16 December 2004, its highest structural point reaches 343 meters (1,125 feet)—taller than the Eiffel Tower. Designed by engineer Michel Virlogeux and architect Norman Foster, the bridge carries traffic over the Tarn Valley while minimizing its impact on the landscape. It is widely regarded as one of the greatest achievements of modern bridge engineering.

Mount Kailash, in the Tibet Autonomous Region of China, is one of the world's most sacred mountains. It is revered in Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and Bon, making it unique among holy sites. Instead of climbing the mountain, pilgrims perform a 52-kilometer (32-mile) circuit around it, believing the journey brings spiritual merit. Out of respect for its religious significance, climbing Mount Kailash is prohibited, and no one has officially reached its summit.

The Greenland shark can live for over 400 years, making it one of the oldest-living vertebrates on Earth. Some individuals alive today may have been born in the 1600s. These slow-growing sharks can reach over 5 metres long and are found more than 1,000 metres deep in Arctic and North Atlantic waters. Scientists estimate their age by studying carbon levels in their eye lenses.

Unit 731 was a secret biological and chemical warfare unit of the Imperial Japanese Army. It operated near Harbin in occupied China during World War II. The unit carried out lethal human experiments on prisoners, including deliberate infection with diseases such as plague, cholera, anthrax, and typhoid. It also tested biological weapons and other military weapons on human subjects. Many records were destroyed after Japan's surrender. Some members were prosecuted by the Soviet Union, while others received immunity from prosecution by the United States in exchange for research data. Historians estimate that tens of thousands of people died directly or indirectly because of Unit 731's activities.

The world’s largest known single flower is Rafflesia arnoldii. It can grow over 1 metre wide and weigh around 10 kilograms. This giant flower is a parasite with no leaves, stems, or roots of its own. It absorbs water and nutrients from a tropical vine called Tetrastigma and attracts flies with its rotting-meat smell because flies pollinate the flower.

Kingfishers are small, vibrant birds famous for their impressive fishing skills.

With sharp, pointed beaks, they catch fish by diving into the water from a perch or while hovering. These birds are often found near rivers, lakes, and coastal areas, where they hunt for food.

They have excellent vision, helping them spot fish from a distance. Kingfishers are also known for their bright, colorful plumage, which can include shades of blue, green, and orange, making them easy to recognize.

While some species of kingfishers live in tropical areas, others can be found in temperate zones.

They are solitary birds, usually perched alone while hunting, and their diet mainly consists of fish, but they also eat insects and small amphibians.

Kingfishers play a crucial role in their ecosystems by controlling fish populations and helping to maintain healthy water environments.

ADHD (attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder) is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects how the brain develops and functions. 🧠 It can involve inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity.

There are three presentations of ADHD:
• Predominantly inattentive: difficulty with focus, organization, and completing tasks.
• Predominantly hyperactive-impulsive: restlessness, difficulty staying still, interrupting, or acting before thinking.
• Combined presentation: significant symptoms of both inattention and hyperactivity-impulsivity.

ADHD usually begins in childhood and can continue into adulthood. Researchers believe it involves a combination of genetic and environmental factors.

A popular story says tea bags were invented by accident in 1908. Tea merchant Thomas Sullivan sent tea samples to customers in small silk pouches. The story claims some customers placed the entire pouch into hot water instead of opening it, leading to the idea of tea bags. However, earlier tea infusers and tea bag-like designs existed before Sullivan’s version. Sullivan’s role is linked to popularizing the use of tea bags, but the exact origin story remains debated.
