The Mona Lisa has no eyebrows. It was the fashion in Renaissance Florence to shave them off! This is weird... I've never noticed that. Nowadays people want pretty shaped eyebrows. Some even prefer thick ones.

"Tourists visiting Iceland should know that tipping at a restaurant is considered an insult!" I should remember this, but for me, I felt that tipping other people anywhere is an insult. So I don't usually tip :(. By the way, I just knew that Popeye had nephews with those hilarious names, hahaha.

"The names of Popeye's four nephews are Pipeye, Peepeye, Pupeye, and Poopeye!"
I think the creator of these names is high or something, Poopeye,REALLY!?

"Every day 20 banks are robbed. The average take is $2,500"
And that's why my friends, every hero cartoons or movies have a bank robbed scene.

"The king of hearts is the only king without a moustache on a standard playing card!"
I think all the kings in cards are based on real king, this person might not like moustache lol

One car out of every 230 made was stolen last year! That was a lot, if 230,000 cars were made, 1000 cars will have been stolen! Thailand sells more than a million cars a year, so thiefs will be so rich stealing cars in Thai.

 Popeye: I feel so bad for POOPEYE! Lol, if i was given that kind of name, TOT.

Bank: 2500x20 = 50,000 = 1 day

          50,000x365 = 18,250,000 = 1 year

That was a huge amount of money

 LOL That's true varis.. maybe that's why there are news about someone stealing things in Thailand every day! Plus, our law is not strict enough to control thiefs compared to other countries!

They are all very fascinating. I never knew about this before. This is a fun knowledgable fact. I like the one that says "Tourists visiting Iceland should know that tipping at a restaurant is considered an insult!". I am very surprised by it. I never thought tipping aka getting more money will ever be a bad thing to do.
