Here are wonderful facts you can add to your closet of knowledge.

#1 Have you been guessing why Churchill looks annoyed on a 5 pound bill?

Your answer is because the photographer took a cigar away from Churchill before taking the shots.

#2 Crows have a habit of pinching animals on their tails.

It is said that they do it in order to distract the animals from their food but scientist argue that they do it because they like it.

#3 Mona Lisa original painting isn't what we know it to be.

It used to be different in the past. The painting was placed under natural sunlight, however making its color fade. There is another copy made at the same time as the original by Leonardo Da Vinci's student. The copy is kept in a special vault.

#4 Pablo Picasso went around carrying a revolver loaded with blanks.

He did this with no other intention than to shoot at people who asked him what his paintings meant.

#5 Despite being so flexible, snakes have a lot of bones.

An average snake has not less than 400 bones but the design of their skeleton gives them the ability to be that flexible.

I only knew about the snake. I guess what was meant that the damage to the finger was done by playing with a yoyo?!

Thanks for interesting information,Churchill was just informeg what he was fired just after returning back to London from Russia.he was not happy English humor that this not happy image was saved in popular banknot .

The Mona Lisa fact was very interesting, there are lots of conspiracy theories about it including the horizon being at different levels on left and right side - the alternative shows what is really there!

The damage inflicted by the yoyo was interesting to see and the crow poking animals in the tail remind me of an annoying friend, lol.

A yo yo is a toy not a hand.

Interesting, but exactly WHAT is a yo yo, apart from the toy children play with, and some adults also.!! Knew about snakes, having seen one that had been bitten and was damaged. It lived thanks to proper care from Parks and Wildlife carers.

The mono Lisa colour version is lovely. Haven't seen the original for about 40yrs but remember it being somewhat small & underwhelming. I realise that is heresy lol
