The shortest war in history lasted only 38 minutes. It was fought between the countries of Zanzibar and the United Kingdom.
The shortest war in recorded history was a brisk 38 minutes long. This brief but notable conflict occurred between the Sultanate of Zanzibar and the United Kingdom on the 27th of August, 1896. Following the death of the Sultan, a successor took the throne in Zanzibar without British approval, which was a violation of a previous treaty.
a group of flamingos is called a flamboyance.
Flamingos, with their vibrant hues and distinctive posture, are indeed flamboyant creatures. So much so, that a group of these striking birds is appropriately termed a 'flamboyance'. Now, have you ever wondered about the source of their brilliant pink coloration? Interestingly, it's all down to their diet. Flamingos feast on a variety of organisms such as shrimp, algae, and other tiny creatures that inhabit the water bodies they call home.
the inventor of Pringles, Fredric Baur, had his ashes buried in a Pringles can.
It's not often that an inventor becomes so synonymous with their invention, but such is the case with Fredric Baur. Baur was the mastermind behind the distinctive tubular packaging of Pringles, the globally-loved potato chip brand. He came up with the design in 1966 while working for Procter & Gamble, aiming to solve the problem of broken chips in standard bags.
cats have a unique collarbone that allows them to always land on their feet.
Cats are renowned for their agility and balance, epitomized by their impressive ability to almost always land on their feet - a phenomenon known as the 'righting reflex'. This is in large part thanks to their unique skeletal structure, particularly their collarbone, or clavicle. Unlike in humans, a cat's clavicle is not directly connected to other bones but is buried in the muscles of the shoulder region. This arrangement allows for a greater range of movement in the upper body, enabling cats to twist and turn mid-air.
all the swans in England are owned by the queen
England has a curious, centuries-old law that may surprise you - all unmarked mute swans in open water are considered the property of the Crown, effectively meaning they are owned by the Queen.
a group of hedgehogs is called a prickle
When it comes to collective nouns, the English language can be wonderfully creative. Case in point, a group of hedgehogs is delightfully referred to as a 'prickle'. This term is a playful nod to the hedgehog's most distinctive feature - its prickly spines.
Charlie Chaplin once entered a Charlie Chaplin look-alike contest and came in third place.
In a twist of irony that seems straight out of one of his comedic films, Charlie Chaplin, the legendary silent film star, once entered a Charlie Chaplin look-alike contest, only to come in third place.
astronauts can grow up to two inches taller in space due to the lack of gravity
The wonders of space travel extend to some surprising physical changes for astronauts, one of which is an increase in height. In the microgravity environment of space, astronauts can grow up to two inches taller.
lobsters can live up to 100 years old

it's impossible to hum while holding your nose

Welcome to Cool Facts TV! Today, we're going to uncover 20 secrets police officers don't want you to know. Understanding your rights can be a game-changer in certain situations. So, let's dive in and explore these secrets in detail!
Without a warrant or your consent, police can't look through your phone, even if you're in custody.
Police can't enter your residence without a warrant or your consent. However, there are a few exceptions, like the plain view doctrine, which permits officers to enter your home if they see evidence within their sightline.
Police can't search your property without a warrant or your consent. This right was granted by the 2018 Collins v. Virginia Supreme Court ruling
Police officers can legally lie to you about having evidence. Courts have consistently ruled that deliberate deception is allowed as long as it doesn't lead to a false confession.
Police can trick you into giving them your DNA. They can obtain DNA samples from anything you touch, like a cup of coffee or water, which can then be used as evidence against you.
Police can access your DNA through DNA testing kit companies. While uncommon, companies like 23andMe and Ancestry make it clear that they will comply
You're legally allowed to film and photograph police officers. As long as you're in an outdoor public space or have permission to be on private property
Police can't ask you to delete videos or photos from your phone without a warrant. Even with a warrant, they don't have the right to delete things from your phone.
Not all states require you to show an officer your identification. Each state has its own laws regarding identification
Police have the right to search any abandoned property. According to the 1997 United States v. Tugwell Supreme Court case
Everything you say to an officer is on the record. Remember that anything you say can and will be held against you in a court of law.
If you haven't been arrested or detained, you can leave a police station. The Fifth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution protects you against self-incrimination.
Police aren't required to read you your rights if you aren't being detained. Miranda rights apply only to custodial interrogations, meaning that officers don't need to read them during voluntary questioning.
Some things you say before being read your rights are admissible in court. For example, if you make an unsolicited admission of guilt, it can be used against you in court.
You have the right to look at any search warrants. If the police show up with a search warrant, you can ask to read it, and you have legal remedies if the warrant is defective.
Officers with search warrants almost always have to knock before entering your house.
Police need probable cause to pull you over. If they pull you over without probable cause and find evidence of a crime, that evidence usually can't be used against you in court.
Field sobriety tests aren't always required. You have the right to refuse to take these tests in some states.
You can refuse a breathalyzer test, but there might be consequences. In many states, refusing to take a breathalyzer test can lead to automatic suspension of your driver's license or even harsher penalties.
Police can't hold you indefinitely without charges. The U.S. Constitution guarantees your right to a speedy trial.
So there you have it! We've uncovered 20 secrets police officers would rather you didn't know. Being aware of these facts can help you make informed decisions and protect your rights when interacting with law enforcement. Knowledge is power, and staying informed is the key to ensuring fair treatment and navigating any encounters with the police.

Get ready to be shocked and amazed, as we take a journey to the strangest schools around the world! From banned best friends to restricted washroom visits, we'll uncover the top 12 weird school rules that will leave you speechless. So sit back, buckle up, and join us on a wild ride on Cool Facts TV.
Not allowing students to make best friends!
Friends are an integral part of life. Uk’s Thomas school doesn’t allow it’s students to make best friends. In fact, it is totally banned! Apparently, the rule is there just to protect children from the trauma of broken friendships. Well, this protection at the primary stage of life, what will happen when the friendship breaks at the later part of
Students cannot raise their hands during a class!
Samworth Church Academy in Nottinghamshire banned the age-old practice of raising hands to answer a question as the same set of students kept raising their hands and it didn’t encourage the other students in the class.
No red pens for the teachers!
The worst thing about school was getting an ‘F’ that too with a red pen, making it obvious that there’s some real surprise waiting for us back home when shown. But a school in the UK doesn’t allow teachers to use red pens. Stating that it creates a negative impact on students. They practice using a green pen instead.
Students aren’t allowed to eat ketchup in school!
France officially banned the tomato condiment from all school and college cafeterias because of its high sugar content. They also imposed the rule that students can savour fries only once a week. Interestingly, school children are not allowed to bring home-prepared food to school in France.
Students are banned from winning at school!
This rule wins the ‘strangest school rule’ trophy! In order to stop anyone’s feelings from being hurt, schools in the UK banned winning. Instead, they give prizes to both winners so that the students are not pitted against each other.
Naps at noon!
Gaoxin is one of the best elementary schools in China. They encourage students to take noon naps. The reason behind this is, lunchtime is at 12:10 pm and the classes start at 2 pm. Thus it is pretty hectic for the parents to pick their children up for such a short period of time.
Banning relationships!
Dating is very common among girls and boys in school these days. But since it affects their studies, Japanese academics put a ban on relationships so that the students can focus more on their studies.
Not allowing the good appearance
Some Japanese school doesn’t allow students to flaunt their beauty. They’re not allowed to use makeup, shave legs or even paint their nails. (Same goes for some schools in India, well.)
Ban on high fives and hugs!
This might have made sense if it was done during the pandemic time, but this rule has been practiced for a long time in England and the US. They strictly don’t allow their students to have physical contact. According to them it interferes with the students’ academic experience.
Visiting washroom only thrice per semester!
Evergreen Park High School in Chicago doesn’t allow the students to use the washroom more than 3 times per semester. The reason behind it is, students often tend to miss their classes by using the excuse to visiting the washroom.
Divider between male and female students!
A picture of a classroom went viral where a curtain was used as a divider between male and female students. Just so that they couldn’t attend classes together. This is followed at university in Kabul, Afghanistan.
Pepsi t-shirt banned at school!
If your school has a “Coke Day,” it’s probably wise not to wear their competitor’s t-shirts. But that’s what Michael Cameron did anyway, wearing a Pepsi t-shirt when Coca-Cola executives came to his school for a contest to win $10,000 dollars.

It's technically impossible to die on a flight. Although flight crews are trained in basic first aid and some are even qualified to perform resuscitation, most flights do not have any staff members on board who are qualified to declare a time of death.
Airplane lavatories can unlock from the outside. You can actually unlock the lavatory from the outside via an external lock mechanism, which is usually hidden beneath the "no smoking" sign on the door, according to LifeHacker.
Pilots acknowledge that there are several safety rules aboard aircrafts that don’t make a whole lot of sense, including exactly when the crew has to be seated with their belts on.
There’s a secret spot for sleeping! Flying for more than 12 hours at a stretch is obviously going to lead to some exhaustion, but some travelers may be uncomfortable with the thought of their pilot taking a nap
Those emergency oxygen masks deliver a supply that lasts only 15 minutes! What isn't usually shared with the passengers is that the flowing oxygen will last between just 12 and 15 minutes.
The chimes that sound mid-flight are a secret code! flight attendants use the chimes to signal a host of things to one another, from the snack supply running low to an increase in turbulence.
The headsets and earbuds are not new! It's a dirty secret in the airline industry that headsets and earbuds are recycled after every flight—even the ones that come in plastic pouches you have to open.
Flight attendants are paid once the plane doors close! In the case of a few airlines, cabin crew are only paid for their 'flight hours', meaning their pay is based on when the flight leaves and arrives at each gate.
Your lost luggage gets auctioned off! It’s the ultimate travel disaster – you arrive at your destination airport to find your bag was lost in transit and is nowhere to be seen.
Babies born in US airspace become US citizens! This has only happened on a few occasions and it’s a real grey area. The newborn's citizenship depends on several factors.
A plane can't take off if you're in the loo! Legally, a plane can’t take off if someone is in the toilet because take-off and landing are the two of the most at-risk moments on the plane.
Pilots and co-pilots eat different meals! It very rarely happens, but to prevent the chances of both getting food poisoning, many pilots and co-pilots opt to eat different in-flight meals.
Empty 'ghost flights' fly all the time! When you see a plane pass above you in the sky, there's a fair chance it has no passengers. A new report by The Guardian reveals that 5,000 completely empty 'ghost flights' have passed through UK airports since 2019
Your boarding pass contains a lot of secret, and incredibly personal information. Reading the codes on your boarding pass gets more complicated. The most interesting and secret part of your ticket is the six-digit alphanumeric segment of coded text called the PNR or Passenger Name Reference.
Pilots have a secret code they use to communicate with air traffic control, this code is known as the "squawk code", and it's used to identify the plane to air traffic control and other aircraft in the area.
Many airplanes have secret compartments or "hideaways" that are used for storing emergency equipment or for hiding from hijackers.
The cabin pressure in an airplane is kept at a lower level than the pressure at sea level. The cabin pressure is kept at the equivalent of about 6,000 to 8,000 feet above sea level.
Pilots sometimes fly with a hidden dead man's switch that automatically takes control of the plane in case of an emergency. This switch, which is typically located in the cockpit, can be activated by the pilot if they become incapacitated or unable to fly the plane.
Hey there, and welcome to another episode of Cool Facts TV, where we bring you the most mind-blowing and bizarre facts about the natural world. And today, we're exploring the weird and sometimes shocking world of insect sex. Get ready for some freaky facts about bugs getting down and dirty.
Honey bees are perhaps the most famous of the cock-blockers. First the young queen bee leads drones on a high-speed chase; only the fastest get a chance to mate and die.
Researchers were initially baffled by a second penis in some earwig species; it points the wrong way, and females only have one vaginal opening. Was it just an evolutionary left over? No, the second penis is a spare in case the first one breaks off.
Male beetles have been known to injure the female beetles who are unlucky enough to mate with them. The reason for this is, apparently, that the puncturing action allows for more sperm to travel up the female.
Drosophila, the little flies of kitchens and biology labs, have remarkably odd sex lives. But even among those kinksters, one species stands out: Drosophila bifurca. The males in this species produce giant sperm that are 2.3 inches long (5.8 cm).
Most people have heard of the horrifying sex lives of bed bugs. Males have a stabby cock-dagger, and inject their sperm through the body wall of a female. Worse, male bed bug peen is full of germs, so this traumatic insemination can cause infections. But strepsipterans have it worse.
Stick insects are known for their incredible camouflage, but that's not all they're good at. Like all males in the animal kingdom, the stick insect wants to hold off sexual competitors for as long as possible. The solution to the problem is simply never to stop doing it.
Male flies have to be ready to mate at any angle since the female can, you know, fly. It's a tough job, but luckily male flies can twist their gonads anywhere from 90 to 360 degrees. If humans tried to do that, we'd most likely rip our spines apart.
There are many criteria certain insects use to choose their mates – including a nice wad of spit. When a male scorpion fly is trying to attract a female, he coughs up a secretion from his salivary glands that she can eat. While she's chowing down, the guy will do his thing until she gets bored and/or full and decides to leave.
You've probably heard this one, since it's the most famous. When praying mantises mate, it can end with the larger female biting the head off the smaller male and then devouring his body for nutrients to help her with her pregnancy.
Mayflies actually have life spans up to several years, but once they reach adulthood, the clock is ticking. They only have three hours to live and an overwhelming need to reproduce. Given the time constraints, there's not much time for ceremony.
If a female WATER STRIDERS refuses a male water striders’ advances, the male will hold the female under water and tap the water’s surface causing ripples to attract predators. The female has to decide if she wants to be someone’s lunch or give in and mate with the male.
Up to 27% of a male Mormon cricket's weight can be transferred during mating in a sperm package. That would be equivalent to 54 pounds of ejaculate from a 200 pound human male.
Strepsipterans live in the butts of wasps. Males have just a few hours to find a female, and since she's embedded in the ass-end of a wasp, he just injects his sperm pretty much anywhere he can reach. That's unpleasant, but once fertilized, the living female is consumed from the inside out by her developing young.
As a human, I can only say: Well done, Evolution. Well done.

Number 10 on the list for today is Velociraptor! The deadly Velociraptor refers to a genus of dromaeosaurid theropod dinosaur that first appeared 75 to 71 million years ago during the Late Cretaceous Period. Living primarily in modern-day China and Mongolia. Although the Velociraptor was an incredibly small dinosaur for its time.

Number 8 on our list is Allosaurus. The ferocious Allosaurus was a carnosaurian theropod that lived during the Late Jurassic epoch. Classified as a bipedal predator by researchers, the Allosaurus is believed to have resided in both North America and portions of Western Europe due to the large number of fossilized remains that have been discovered in these areas as of 2022.
Number 7 on our list is Saurophaganax. The deadly Saurophaganax (which translates to “Lord of Lizard Eaters”) was an incredibly large allosaurid dinosaur that existed during the Late Jurassic epoch. Classified as a bipedal predator similar to that of the Allosaurus, the Saurophaganax was first discovered in 1931 by John Willis Stovall.
Number 6 on our list is Giganotosaurus. The supermassive Giganotosaurus (which means “Giant Southern Lizard”) was a theropod dinosaur that existed during the Late Cretaceous Period. First discovered in 1993 near the Candeleros Formation of Patagonia.
Number 5 on our list for today is Majungasaurus. The deadly Majungasaurus (which means “Mahajanga Lizard”) was a species of abelisaurid theropod dinosaur that lived during the Late Cretaceous Period. Endemic to modern-day Madagascar, the Majungasaurus was a bipedal predator.
Number 4 on our list is Carcharodontosaurus. The Carcharodontosaurus (not to be confused with the Carcharodon) was a species of large carcharodontosaurid theropod dinosaur that lived during Late Cretaceous Period. Endemic to modern-day North Africa.
Number 3 on our list is Spinosaurus. The large and deadly Spinosaurus (which means “Spine Lizard”) was a species of spinosaurid dinosaur that lived during the Late Cretaceous Period. Endemic to North Africa, the species was first discovered in 1912 by German paleontologist, Ernst Stromer.
Number 2 on our list is Utahraptor. The infamous Utahraptor was a large dromaeosaurid dinosaur that lived during the Early Cretaceous Period. Endemic to North America, the Utahraptor was first discovered by Jim Jenson in 1975 around the Dalton Wells Quarry of East Utah (hence its name).
Number one on our list and one of my favorite childhood dinosaurs is the famous Tyrannosaurus Rex, aka T-Rex. Topping our list of the world’s deadliest dinosaurs is the infamous Tyrannosaurus Rex. Commonly referred to as the “King of the Dinosaurs,”. T-Rex was a large theropod dinosaur that lived during the Late Cretaceous Period.

Did you know that in the UK, they have a bunch of weird laws that are still technically written in the law books, but are lowkey not enforced? Here are some of the most outdated and ridiculous laws that still exist in the UK.
Detonating Nukes Is Banned! Atomic blasts aren’t just a bad idea, they’re illegal. In fairness, you’d assume the local constabulary would want a word following any surprise mushroom clouds.
Being Homeless Is Technically Illegal (Blame Napoleon)! Napoleon lost. We won. And the soldiers came home - but many troops had no prospects. Fearing an influx of beggars, vagrancy was banned. That’s sorted, then.
Firing Cannons In Residential Areas! This law prohibits cannon fire within 300 yards of residential properties. Top tip: you’ll need to pace out 301 yards and place your cannon accordingly. Just to be safe.
Leaving Your Car On A Pavement! This one makes no sense. Parking on the pavement outside London isn’t illegal but driving on the pavement is. Perhaps tow a handy crane and park where you like.
You Can’t Be Drunk In A Pub! Yeah. Bummer. Looks like we’re all limited to a swift half, then? What’s more, since 2003, bar staff cannot legally serve drunk people. Time to practice your sober face.
Asking A Friend For Small Change Isn’t Advised! The shrapnel in our pockets always falls just short at the pay and display machine, doesn’t it? But asking a friend for the extra cash is deemed illegal begging. Wow.
Beat It! No, Wait, Actually, Better Not! Dusty rugs must not be beaten in the street. Smog from Victorian factory pollution is fine. But no dusty rugs, please. It’ll give your neighbour a tickly throat.
Don’t Chat To The Postal Service For Too Long! Most people know you can’t open someone else’s mail. You also may not delay the mail. Perhaps save your inane morning chit-chat for the message group or your cat..
Deer Oh Deer, That’s The Death Penalty! King George III (the “Mad King” who lost America - or the King in Bridgerton) had few marbles to lose.
Dog Walkers Must Carry An Empty Poo Bag At All Times! Your dog’s poorly stomach could cost you a fortune. £100 fines are in place if you cannot produce spare - empty - poo bags when challenged. Easier to carry a cork.
It’s illegal to enter the House of Parliaments wearing a suit of armor! A 1313 Statute Forbidding Bearing of Armour, forbids members of Parliament from entering the House while wearing armor.
It’s treason to misplace a postage stamp! Placing a postage stamp bearing the monarch’s head upside down on an envelope is considered an act of treason.
It is illegal to gamble in a library! The Library Offenses Act of 1898 makes it illegal to gamble in a library.

Importing Polish Potatoes! Thanks to the aptly named, but bizarre Polish Potatoes Order of 2004, it is actually illegal to import or bring over any potatoes from Poland. We’re not sure exactly why this law was put into place but it seems po-tally crazy to us.
