Male cats have spines on their penises which makes withdrawal painful for the female cat and the reason they always screech during mating.

That is hardly a useless fact if you are a female cat.  A little warning goes a long way  :autism:

When Denmark ceded Norway to Sweden in 1814, the Swedish negotiator didn't know that the Färö islands, Iceland and Greenland were originally Norwegian territories. Thus Denmark kept these lands. To this very day Greenland is still a part of Denmark.

Less than 10 medications from 1890 are still in use with original composition and label. One of them is Aspirin, the original from Bayer (back then Bayer and Villiger). The box still looks like it did in original and the composition is the same.  :viking:

The age of consent in Tennessee is 18.

Bestiality was only legal in Tennessee until 2007, and is now a felony.

Someone is up shit creek on both accounts.

When you launch a firework shell from a mortar, you should, unlike when you fire any kind of gun, have a small "glitch" between the pipe and the shell. This is due to the low density of firework shells; the atmospherical pressure equals 11 m of mercury(!), so quite some gas from the lift should be allowed to pass around the shell to decrease the local air pressure. The recently passed away Takeo Shimizu, the Grand Master of fireworks all times and categories made a table for this.

Depends very much on how you count. Regarding social security, yes, probably. Regarding happiness as a subjective feeling, I'd be very sceptical, at least what Sweden concerns.
