Amazing Fun Facts You Won't Believe!
Here are some incredible facts about the topics we covered that will blow your mind!
🌍 Greenland is NOT Green!
Greenland got its name as a trick  Viking explorer Erik the Red called it "Greenland" to make it sound nice so people would come and live there! Most of it is actually covered in ice and snow all year long.
🏛️ Parliament's Secret Tunnels
The UK's Houses of Parliament have secret underground tunnels stretching beneath London! They were used during wartime and some of them are still off-limits to the public today.
📱 Phones in Space!
In 2013, scientists launched a satellite into orbit that was powered by a smartphone! It was called STRaND-1, and it proved that ordinary phone parts could survive the harsh conditions of outer space.
👗 Fashion's Fastest Trend
The world's fastest fashion trend ever lasted just two weeks! In 2012, a pair of bright orange trousers appeared in a store catalogue and became a worldwide joke  and then a huge trend  almost overnight thanks to the internet.

⚡ Pikachu's Real-Life Inspiration
Pikachu was not inspired by a mouse at all, the Pokémon's original designer said Pikachu was inspired by a squirrel! The round cheeks and fluffy look came from watching squirrels munch on food.
🐻 Bears are Speed Champions!
Despite being huge and fluffy, brown bears can run at up to 35 miles per hour, faster than the world's fastest human sprinter, Usain Bolt, who ran at about 28 miles per hour! Never try to outrun a bear!
🦕 Dinosaurs Had Feathers!
Many dinosaurs, including some of the biggest ones, likely had feathers not just the small bird-like ones! Scientists now think the giant Diplodocus may have had some feathery or spiny decoration along its back like a crest.
🏅 The Olympics vs The Asian Games
