I knew owls couldn’t move their eyes independent of their head, but I didn’t know they were tubes.
Several years ago it was claimed that an owl’s vision was so good that they could read a newspaper headline a mile away. One old fellow said, “I wonder where they found and owl that could read.”
I bought a painting that I fell in love with at an antique show for $8. I took it to the Antiques Roadshow ( no kidding!) to get it appraised. They valued it at $100. When I told some people this and they were like “That’s all?!” I told them hey, that’s more than 10 times what I paid for it.

If you look at the comics on a phone, the long unwelcome comments do take up a lot of time to scroll past, or a person with a screen reader may not enjoy the same humour but are subject to listen to the unwanted content.
And now, here’s another “Believe It Or Not” type bit of information applied to an old axiom-“The journey of a parsec begins with one angstrom…” One parsec = 3.086e-10^26 angstroms.
Believe it!https://www.cbsnews.com/news/painting-found-in-nyc-trash-sells-for-1m/“An abstract masterpiece by a Mexican artist that was found in the trash by a woman who knew little about modern art has been sold for more than $1 million.
The painting “Tres Personajes” by Rufino Tamayo was discovered in 2003 by Elizabeth Gibson, who spotted it on her morning walk on Manhattan’s Upper West Side. She said she took it home because “even though I didn’t understand it, I knew it had power.”"

Owls also have asymmetric ears, one higher than the other, in order to give them a better sense of the location of sounds.

Is it any wonder Mr. Owl took only three licks of a Tootsie Pop?

The un-detonated bomb story is absolutely unremarkable. So what?!? It’s not as if, “OMG! No one knew bomb technology existed as far back as 1935!!!”
