    A day on Venus is longer than a year on Venus.

    Only because my son is into astronomy, but venus rotates once every 116d 18h, but a year is 225 days. So the day is shorter than the year.

    Your first wrist bone does not start to grow until about 2.5 months on average and the last one doesn't start to grow until 12 years old. For the first 6 years of your life you only have half your wrist bones and they aren't complete.

    According to Matthew White, in the Congo Free State under Belgian administration, when corporate security squads went on raids to punish those who resisted control or who did not produce rubber, ivory, or timber, those security squads had to prove they had not wasted ammunition by bringing back the severed hand of a native African worker for each bullet used.
