Scientists have discovered a new species of slug living on Mount Kaputar in New South Wales, Australia, that is 8 inches long and hot pink in color! Best thing since... Otto Rohwedder, a jeweler from Iowa, created the first pre-sliced bread machine in 1917, but struggled to sell the idea until 1928! Ancient Greek statues were not just plain white marble but actually brightly colored- the paint and simply faded away!
