Too Early to Hear Birds Singing...

What I've learned while browsing the internet at 4:00 am:
Rimed Snowflake
  1. Adam Rainer was the only man in recorded history to be both a dwarf and a giant. 
  2. You cannot make clockwise circles with your right leg while writing the number 6 in the air with your right hand.
  3. Rimed snow : Snowflakes that are coated in tiny frozen water droplets called rime. This occurs when a snowflake passes through a super-cooled cloud.  
  4. In 1989, one of the first anti-nuclear movements in the former Soviet Union was formed in Kazakhstan, and it was called "Nevada Semipalatinsk".
  5. A Coney Island hot dog is topped with all-meat chili, diced yellow onions, and yellow mustard.
  6. I cannot tell the difference between a hyper-realist painting and a photograph.  
  7. There are numerous buttons in our environment  that act as 'placebos.' For instance, in most elevators,  the button to close the doors only works with a key. 
  8. A Hyper Realistic Painting by Linnea Strid
  9. Vodka can be used to remove lipstick stains from clothing. Simply rub the stain with vodka, throw it in the wash, and voila! 
  10. St. Patrick was not Irish.
  11. In China, the pigtail was seen as a symbol of feudalism, and the style was banned in 1911.
