But isn't it so much cooler to impress you friends or classmates with your knowledge even without peeping at the screen of your gadget? For example, have you ever wondered why beds aren't right on the floor? A long time ago, people didn't elevate their mattresses off the floor. This practice started in ancient Egypt and continued in many other cultures. Why was it convenient? And why do we still make beds so high off the floor?

Have you ever seen square trees? They grow in a mysterious region called El Valle de Anton - near one of the largest inhabited dormant volcanoes in the world. The interior of their trunks are the same shape, with sharp edges, sometimes even at a perfect 90-degree angle. Located in Namibia is a tree that’s also weird in shape and pretty dangerous: the Bottle tree. Should you avoid visiting these places, or is it safe to approach these and other unique trees?

Six men found themselves in the middle of a real-life survival story after their plane crashed in Antarctica’s icy wilderness. The crash left them stranded in one of the harshest places on Earth, with freezing winds and no help in sight. With limited supplies, they built a makeshift shelter from the wreckage to stay alive. They melted snow for water and rationed what little food they had, knowing rescue could take weeks. Despite the bitter cold and isolation, they kept each other’s spirits up, determined to survive.

In 2017, Air Canada Flight 759 came terrifyingly close to causing one of the worst aviation disasters ever at San Francisco International Airport. The plane was supposed to land on a clear runway but instead started descending onto a taxiway where four fully loaded planes were waiting to take off. The pilots mistook the taxiway for the runway in the dark, coming within 14 feet of hitting another plane. A quick-thinking air traffic controller yelled for the Air Canada pilots to abort their landing at the last second. The plane pulled up just in time, narrowly avoiding a catastrophic pile-up that could’ve affected hundreds of lives. Experts later said it was sheer luck and sharp reactions that prevented tragedy that night.
