The only fact that I didn't know before is the penultimate fact about the South Pole. Although I have an assumption that the South Pole is not so simple, and we don’t know much about this place...

  • You can still buy green oranges here, most get yellowish but not all. Its darn annoying when they place them next to lemons, as sometimes you mistake both.
  • This statistic is probably due to the fact that people work everyday but wars are very rare in comparison (same reason more people die in car accidents, etc).
  • And its no longer called a planet because of that :). Currently the correct number of planets in the Solar System is 8, there are at least 3 "accepted" Dwarf planets.
  • Boomerang arrow? Interesting, citation needed...
  • The south pole and the north pole simply don't quite match the rest of the planet surface. It would be easier if it followed a single timezone, but each country putting a base insist of following their own, even tho it doesn't really make sense.
  • Mentioning the title is overrated? According to wikipedia, it was: The Power of Love (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Power_of_Love_(1922_film)).
