The U.S. has a lease for Guantanamo Bay and sends Cuba about $4,500 every year. Since 1953, Cuba refuses the money because they say the U.S. control is illegal and a violation of their sovereignty. In 1959, the check was cashed by mistake once.

On this U.S. naval base in Cuba, the Guantanamo Bay Detention Camp opened in 2002 to hold terrorism suspects captured by the U.S. The camp has faced criticism for human rights issues and indefinite detention without trial.

In 1999, The Matrix became one of the most influential science-fiction films of its era.

The film's famous "bullet time" sequences were created using a rig of multiple still cameras arranged around the actors, allowing the filmmakers to capture an action from many angles and then combine the images into a moving shot.

The technique became so closely associated with the film that "bullet time" entered popular culture as a term for the effect.

In parts of Sardinia, Italy, a traditional cheese called casu marzu is made with the help of live cheese fly larvae. The larvae are introduced into pecorino cheese, where they digest the cheese's fats and create a very soft, creamy texture.

The name roughly translates to "rotten cheese" in Sardinian. The cheese is traditionally eaten with the larvae still present, although its sale has faced food-safety restrictions in Italy and the European Union.

In Tibetan fraternal polyandry, one woman could traditionally marry multiple brothers within the same family. The practice was found in parts of Tibet and the Himalayan region, where brothers shared a wife and the household's land and property remained undivided. Children born into the marriage were generally considered part of the same family rather than assigned separate fathers. The custom has declined significantly with social, economic, and legal changes in the region.

In 1953, researchers at the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) secretly gave LSD to people who did not know they were receiving it as part of Project MKUltra, a Cold War program investigating drugs and techniques that might influence human behavior.
Some experiments involved unwitting members of the public, including people in restaurants and other settings. The program was later exposed through U.S. congressional investigations, and many of its records had already been destroyed.

Alexander Selkirk asked to be left on Más a Tierra island on 1 September 1704 because he believed the ship was unsafe. He survived alone there for about four years.

The ship later sank due to poor condition, and many crew members died or were lost, though some survived. Selkirk was rescued on 2 February 1709 and returned home. His story inspired the famous novel Robinson Crusoe.

The anchoring effect is a cognitive bias in which people tend to rely heavily on the first number they encounter when making a judgment. For example, if a shirt is first shown at $50 and then discounted to $35, the second price may seem like a bargain because the first number becomes a mental reference point. The original $50 can influence the judgment even when it has little relevance to the shirt's actual value.

Earthworms are hermaphrodites, meaning each worm has both male and female reproductive organs. Cutting one in two does not normally create two worms. In some species, the front part can regrow missing sections, while the rear part usually dies. So it is not exactly a cloning trick!

Sex can sometimes affect headaches in surprising ways. Some people with migraine or other headaches report improvement after sexual activity, possibly because orgasm is associated with the release of endorphins and other chemicals involved in pain regulation. However, sex can also trigger severe headaches in some people. A sudden, explosive headache during sex or orgasm can require urgent medical evaluation because similar symptoms can occur with serious blood-vessel problems in the brain.

On September 3rd, 1928, Scottish bacteriologist Alexander Fleming returned from vacation to find that one of his bacterial culture plates had been contaminated by mold. He noticed that the bacteria surrounding the mold had been destroyed. Instead of discarding the spoiled sample, Fleming investigated it and discovered penicillin, the world's first widely used antibiotic. This accidental discovery transformed modern medicine and has saved millions of lives by treating bacterial infections.

They worked on military, aeronautics, and space research. Their Nazi pasts were ignored so the U.S. could use their expertise and keep it from the Soviet Union.

Crows can recognize human faces and remember people they associate with danger. In experiments, researchers wore different masks while capturing crows. The birds later reacted more strongly to the mask associated with being captured, even when it was worn by a different person. Some studies found that this recognition could persist for years, allowing crows to distinguish between familiar and threatening human faces.
