Prior to the invention of the rudder, watercraft in Europe utilized a "steering oar," very often simply a heavy log lashed to the starboard side of the ship turned with brute strength to bring a vessel about.

This evolved into a flat steering board which was originally called the "Starboard", thus giving the right side of the boat its name. The other side was the side that came up against the wall of the port, thus was called the port side.



Tigers are capable of leaping up to 40,000 feet. If the door of the airplane they are on happens to be open.

Marijuana is legal in China, go ahead, bring some with you the next time you go, just be sure you declare it at customs and bring enough to share (several kilograms). you should also be sure to offer some to any cops you might see, it's an expected courtesy.

The flashing red light on the back of a train is known as the "Flashing Rear End Device" or "FRED" for short, but it really prefers that only close friends use its nickname.

The wild origin of the chicken is the red junglefowl, an bird from India.

The modern hybrid that most chicken meat comes from is known as the "Cornish X" or "Broiler," and has been bred to put muscle mass on so fast that it is ready for slaughter in as little as 5 weeks after hatching. Their muscle mass outgrows their bone growth so much that by the time they are slaughtered they are no longer able to walk.
