Mudita is the opposite of Schadenfreude (the pleasure derived by someone from another person's misfortune). So it means when it makes you happy to see someone else happy.

Useless Facts, Badly Drawn #52: Futurama: A silly cartoon that's smarter than you think!

"Futurama" has the most ridiculously overeducated writing team on television. They have a total of three Ph.Ds, seven masters' degrees, and fifty combined years at Harvard University. Other television writing teams can bite Futurama's shiny metal ass.

The Blue Peacock was a nuclear landmine.
Built by the British in the 1950s, it was designed to be buried along the German-Soviet border in case the Soviets invaded Europe. It would also contain live chickens to keep it warm. When the project was declassified on April 1st, 2004, the public thought it was an April Fools joke.

A moonmoon, submoon or sub-satellite is when a planet's moon has its own little moon orbiting it. While scientists calculated that this is theoretically possible, we haven't found a real example of one... yet.

Chasmology is the scientific study of yawning. This field has discovered that yawning is contagious, and that all vertebrates yawn, not just humans; but we still haven't figured out why we do it, or why it's contagious. Yawn...

The number 48" is considered lucky in Chinese culture. Which is why a driver named Liu paid $145,705 to get a license plate on his $4,370 car that read"88888" for good luck... only to be pulled over by police exactly 8 times on his first day on the road, because cops thought it must be fake.

The Biblioteca Joanina in Portugal is a 300-year-old library that is also home to colonies of bats living between the bookshelves. Every night, the bats emerge and hunt and eat insects that would otherwise damage the rare and priceless books, most of which date to the 16th century. And every morning, workers clean up the guano before opening the library to the public.

#concussion #medical #health #lifeprotip #justaprankbro #bonk #webcomic #comics #uselessfacts #uselessfactsbadlydrawn

Contrary to what you see on movies and TV, knocking a person out with a blow to the head is actually very dangerous. If you suffer a knock to the head and lose consciousness, even for a moment, it could mean you have a concussion and or even a brain bleed. A trip to the emergency room is a good idea to be safe.

The microwave was invented when engineer Percy Spencer was repairing an active military radar, and it melted the candy bar in his pocket without burning his skin. During experiments with an early prototype, the first thing he microwaved was popcorn.

Useless Facts, Badly Drawn #58: Williamina Fleming. And Happy International Women's Day!

.

#internationalwomensday #womeninscience #astronomy #astronomers #history #trivia #harvardcollegeobservatory #scots #williaminafleming #art #comic #webcomic #trivia #dyk #didyouknow #UselessFactsBadlyDrawn

Williamina Fleming worked as a maid for Prof. Edward Charles Pickering, director of the Harvard College Observatory. Pickering was often frustrated with his employees and would complain: "My Scottish maid could do better!" So in 1879, he proved it and hired Fleming. She discovered a total of 59 gaseous nebulae, over 310 variable stars and 10 novae. She also discovered the famous Horsehead Nebula and the first white dwarf.
