⦁ 1. China & The Hanging Coffins: Forget skyscrapers, some of China's most intriguing structures cling to sheer cliffs. The "Hanging Coffins" of the Bo people are wooden boxes, some thousands of years old, suspended high above the ground. Theories abound, but no one knows for sure why they were placed this way, adding to the mystery.

⦁ 2. Dinosaurs & The "Dino-Bird" Debate: We all know birds descended from dinos, but did you know some dinos may have been shrink-wrapped in feathers before flight evolved? Imagine a fluffy T-Rex! This challenges the idea of feathers being solely for flight, suggesting insulation or display came first.

⦁ 3. Coding & The Language Older Than You Think: Think coding is all modern? The oldest HIGH-LEVEL language (easier for humans to use) is actually FORTRAN, born in the 1950s! It's still used for intense scientific stuff, meaning code you wrote today could outlive many modern languages.

⦁ 5. Basketball & The "Secret Weapon" Practice: Ever heard of "granny shots"? That underhand free throw some players use isn't just goofy, it's scientifically proven to be more accurate! Teams now study the physics to improve, meaning the goofiest shot might be a game-changer.

⦁ 7. Lightning can strike the ground multiple times. It's not just one and done! What we see as a single flash is actually a series of super-fast strokes, usually 3 or 4, within a fraction of a second. The first stroke, called a "stepped leader," creates a path of ionized air. Subsequent strokes travel along this path, illuminating it like a strobe light. This is why lightning appears to flicker!
