Lets see some cool random facts about anything, time to learn some cool stuff!

I'll start:

Ginko Biloba Tree:

Atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki:

Extreme examples of the ginkgo's tenacity may be seen in Hiroshima, Japan, where six trees growing between 1–2 km from the 1945 atom bomb explosion were among the few living things in the area to survive the blast.[32] While almost all other plants (and animals) in the area were destroyed, the ginkgos, though charred, survived and were soon healthy again. The trees are alive to this day.

If a statue in the park of a person on a horse has both front legs in the air, the person died in battle; if the horse has one front leg in the air, the person died as a result of wounds received in battle; if the horse has all four legs on the ground, the person died of natural causes.

How can a horse have one front leg in the air? Lol I'm confused.

During the early universe, there was a period known as "inflation", where the expansion of the universe exceeded the speed of light. Inflation is the extremely rapid exponential expansion of the early universe by a factor of at least 10^78 in volume, driven by a negative-pressure vacuum energy density

Sorry but portal is the bomb,

The adventure sphere is a blow hard and a coward.

Also, in 1862, Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation, freeing the slaves. Like everything he did, Lincoln freed the slaves while sleepwalking, and later had no memory of the event.
