How did Coronavirus change your life? Did you start having financial or psychological problems? Did you lose all your social life? Here’s a really ineresting fact about the worldwide virus: all the virus that has changed our world would fit in a coke can. U.K. Bath University maths expert Kit Yates worked out there are around two quintillion (two billion billion) SARS-CoV-2 virus particles in the world at any one time. Yates said he used the diameter of the virus at an average of about 100 nanometers (100 billionths of a meter) and then figured out the volume of the gobal virus. Although the coronavirus’ spike proteins and the particles will leave gaps if you put all the virus in the world together, the total is still less than in a single 330 millilitre (ml) cola can, he said.

An Italian banker, Gilberto Baschiera is considered a modern-day Robin Hood, but a regretful one. But why a regretful one? For 7 years, he secretly transferred money to poorer clients from the wealthy ones so his poor clients could be qualified for loans. He made no profit out of it. His plan was when his poor clients get their loans, returning the money to the wealthy owners. Most of his clients had their loans and rejected returning the illegal money to owners, or didn’t get their loans and rejected giving the money back. After 7 years he transferred about 1 million euros. When it revealed, he was fired and his house was taken from him. The clients he helped refused to support him during the trials and he was all alone in the end although he helped them and risked his own life. He says “if I had the chance I would never do that again.” As you can see in the photo above, currently he prefers to be away from people, closer to nature and animals.

A 2013 U.K. study from Littlewoods.com observed young children and recorded the questions they asked the adults around them. The children tended to turn to their mothers for answers, and these moms could end up answering an average of nearly 300 questions per day, or one question every two-and-a-half minutes, the study found. The moms reported that the hardest questions they were asked included “Why is water wet?” and “What are shadows made of?”

If you truly want to be among the intelligent social media users, you should know that the Twitter bird has an official name: Larry the Bird (yes, like Larry Bird, the former pro basketball player who played for Twitter co-founder Biz Stone’s home team, the Boston Celtics). It’s obvious that he was a big fan of the NBA star and he named his invention after the legendary player’s name.

While “hipster” is used these days to describe someone who tries (perhaps too hard) to be stylish and trendy, the term is actually much older. According to Dictionary.com, the word was originally used (along with the similar “hepster”) in the 1930s to refer to someone in the jazz scene. In dictionaries, you can find its meaning as “a devotee of jazz”

If you’re not sure what the temperature is on hot summer day, just listen to the crickets. According to the Library of Congress, the musical creatures adjust their signature sounds according to the temperature, which means that if you count how many times a cricket chirps in 25 seconds, divide by 3, then add 4 to get the temperature.

Example: 48 chirps /(divided by) 3 + 4 = 20° C

Caesar salad sounds like an item that was inspired by Julius Caesar in Rome. But the truth is that it was named after the man who invented it in 1924—Italian-American restaurateur Caesar Cardini—not its place of origin, which was actually Tijuana, Mexico. According to Food & Wine, Cardini moved to the city (which is close to the California border) to escape the prohibition. Cardini developed the simple salad during the Fourth of July rush in 1924 with the only ingredients he had left.

A monosyllabic word has just one syllable. And while plenty of monosyllabic words exist, the longest ones all happen to start with the letter “s” according to Guinness World Records. At 10 letters, “scraunched” and “strengthed” are the longest monosyllabic words in the English language. “Screeched,” “scrounged,” “squelched,” “straights,” and “strengths” come in second place with nine letters each.
