There’s a battery-powered bell at Oxford University that has been continuously ringing for over 175 years. Nobody knows what the battery is composed of and no one wants to take the device apart in order to figure it out.

The University of Oxford is so old that one of its constituent colleges, New College, was actually established in 1379.

Limbo queen Shemika Charles has been training six hours a day since she was a teenager. She set a world record in 2010 and is so flexible that she can limbo under a car.

In late 2016, the world’s second tallest building, the Shanghai Tower, built the world’s fastest elevator. According to the manufacturer, Mitsubishi, the elevator moves as fast as 4,035 feet per minute. That’s forty-six miles per hour.

On August 16, 1996, at the Brookfield Zoo, a three-year-old boy fell into a gorilla enclosure and lost consciousness, but Binti Jua, a female gorilla, guarded the young boy against other gorillas, cradled him in her arms, and carried him to an entrance where zookeepers retrieved him.

A Filipino fisherman found a 75-pound natural pearl and kept it hidden under his bed for 10 years. He discovered it in a giant clam and kept it as a good luck charm. It’s 170,000 carats.

In India, as well as other parts of the world, standing babas are people who have taken a vow to never sit, lay, or squat for 12 years in order to transport their psyches into a realm of spiritual awareness not experienced by sitters. They stand before a small hammock in which to rest their arms during the day and torso at night. One leg must be on the ground at all times.

A man named Chen Si spends every weekend of his life at the Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge, which is the world’s number one suicide bridge. He does it to save people from jumping and, in fact, he has saved 144 people from killing themselves.

Astronomy Picture of the Day

10 Days of Venus and Jupiter
Image Credit & Copyright: Aditya Pawar

Explanation: Venus and Jupiter may have caught your attention lately. The recent close conjunction of the two brightest planets in recent evening skies has been hard to miss. With Jupiter at the top, starting on May 30 and ending on June 8, their close approach was chronicled daily, left to right, in the featured panels from Maharashtra, India. Near the western horizon, the evening sky colors and exposures used for each panel depend on the local conditions near sunset. At their closest on June 9, the celestial pair appeared to be only about three times the width of a full moon apart. Of course, on that date, the two planets were physically separated by over 600 million kilometers in their orbits around the Sun. In the coming days, Jupiter will slowly settle into the sunset glare, but Venus will continue to move farther from the Sun in the western sky to excel in its current role as the brilliant evening star.
