What animal has the strangest skeleton/skull?

 Toucans are pretty weird when you look at their skull-to-beak ratio:

I was wondering how the bird can even keep its head upright.

But learned the beak is surprisingly lightweight and balanced on their body.

It also helps them with cooling, as it has tiny blood vessels that run through it and release heat when need be.

Apparently the beaks also help them forage in the rainforest, allowing them to reach deeper into trees and crevices to get bugs and fruits, etc.

Have you ever heard of the strangest humans on Earth?

 Alexander the Great's granddaughter, who never got sick, and her daughter gave birth at the age of 70!!

The Hunza people are a tribe that lives in a valley known as the "Valley of Immortality." They live long lives, women give birth at the age of 70, and they do not suffer from the epidemics and diseases of this era. Their youth is eternal, as if they live on a planet other than our own. Their women are beautiful, and although they know nothing of civilization, they know how to enjoy and preserve their lives.

The Hunza tribe has a population of approximately 920,000, and its name means "united at a single front line like an arrow." The members of the tribe live a daily life that is the secret to their eternal youth. They eat raw vegetables and fruits, protein from milk, eggs, and cheese, and they have fasting periods, drinking only fresh juice for three months each year, yet they remain healthy, and they only bathe in cold water, even during the coldest time of the year. Their daily life includes walking distances of more than 20 kilometers.

Women enjoy the health to be eligible to give birth at 70 and have fresh skin like a child's, while men are strong and have extraordinary endurance, and the physical exercise necessary to continue life is difficult but there is no room for laziness because their tribe does not have modern technology. This is one of the most dangerous things that threatens heart health, and therefore they live up to 145 years.

These people were discovered by chance in 1984 when a security guard at London Airport stopped a man named "Abdul Maband." His date of birth was 1932 according to his passport, and he looked to be in his 30s. Because the man was a security guard, he told the guard about his hometown.

Andwind, a Hindi-language website, states that this community speaks Bruchski and claims to be descendants of one of Alexander the Great's armies, the army of "Alexanddar," who got lost alone in the narrow mountains of the Himalayas in the 4th century.

It was a pretty major plot point in the first movie (and the sequel). but what if I told you that the Pizza Planet truck has made an appearance in every Pixar movie ever made?

Check this out:

The truck in the original 'Toy Story'.


The truck seen in 'A Bug's Life'.


The truck in 'Toy Story 2'.


The truck seen in 'Monsters Inc'.


Looks familiar? (from 'Finding Nemo')


Here's the truck in anthropomorphic form(left most corner) in 'Cars'.


The truck seen from a distance in 'Ratatouille'.


The future run-down truck in 'Wall-E'.

Pixar managed to sneak the truck in a medieval setting too. From 'Brave'.


And finally, the truck in the recently released 'Monsters University'.


The Pizza Planet truck has appeared in every Pixar movie with the exception of 'The Incredibles'. So the next time you watch the new movie from Pixar, pay attention and you might be able to catch the reference.

4. The 1960 epic Mughal-e-Azam was a monumental feat of filmmaking. What most people don’t know is that it was originally shot as a trilingual project. Every single scene was filmed three times: once in Hindi/Urdu, Tamil, and English.

5. Dangal

What is the strangest place on Earth?

 Not many people can claim hell as their birthplace.

But Todd Domboski and the few thousand former residents of Centralia, Pennsylvania, come closest to that distinction.

Signs warn visitors of the dangers of death by suffocation or being swallowed by the ground, but the old mining town of Centralia, Pennsylvania, was once home to more than 1,000 people.

Now it is nothing more than a smoldering ghost town that has been burning for half a century.

It started with a fire that was intentionally set to burn out a landfill for Labor Day in 1962.

The problem was that the dump was also an old mine connected to a maze of abandoned underground mine tunnels full of coal.

Although the city managed to extinguish the fire above ground, a much larger inferno burned beneath it, eventually making its way under the city center of Centralia.

The fire was so widespread, destructive, and endless—it is said that there is enough coal underground to stoke the fire for another 250 years.

- that in 1980 a $42 million plan prompted most residents to move (most houses were demolished), leaving only about a dozen survivors behind.
