On that note:
Moose like to move at dusk, making them dangerous for motorists. A Bull can weigh easily 600kg/1300lbs, and since they are tall, they usually hit the windscreen.
Not exactly a fun fact, but no windscreen can withstand the impact.

Fun fact: SpaceX was born, when Elon Musk visited Roscosmos, and one of the Russian chief engineers spat on his shoes, as Musk tried to discuss cooperation.

Not exactly a fun fact, but no windscreen can withstand the impact. A woman I used to work with, her sister was killed by a moose strike. My sister in law also hit a moose but got lucky it did not come through the windshield.

Fun fact: 5000 + 4999 + 1 = 10000, but also: 5000^2 - 4999^2 + 1 = 10000 Fun fact: since 5000^2 - 4999^2 is difference of squares this well known formula applies: a^2-b^2=(a+b )(a-b ) that means that as long as a-b=1 a^2-b^2=(a+b ) for any a and b

Fun fact: Majava is a Finnish surname, literally meaning beaver. There used to be a jeans brand called Beaver Jeans: You can imagine the amount of jokes that were made about the name. edit: removed the picture just in case.

Fun fact: A Rubrik's cube can always be re-ordered in 20 moves or less. One "move" being one side being rotated 90 degrees.
Fun fact: To actually find one optimum solution, would have taken 2 billion years, with a very powerful computer, if it wasn't for an algorithmic trick, which makes it possible to find the optimum solution in something like 3 to 1000 hours, still provided it's a very powerful computer. (A PC can't do it yet. That will take many more years of PC development.)
Fun fact: That same algorithmic trick was responsible for forcing some common encryption techniques to require tripling the length of the key, some years back.
Fun fact: Competition Rubrik cube solvers can reorder the cube in just seconds. ...But they use 40 - 50 moves to do so.

Fun fact: It's not how narrow a boat or ship is, that decides how fast it can go. It's how long it is. And what limits the speed is that the bow wave becomes bigger and longer at higher speeds. A too short boat or ship is then leaving the second wave behind, and starts climbing up the front wave. As it does so, and goes deeper and higher on the wave, it doesn't go faster, it only pushes a bigger bow wave.
Fun fact: Submarines have less drag when they are submerged, pretty much for a similar reason as above. They don't make waves below the surface.

Fun fact: 0.6 % addition of graphene to epoxy makes the epoxy more than 700 % stronger. (So what would more graphene do? We don't know, because the experimenter didn't have any more graphene. He used it all. ) Fun fact: There is a recent breakthrough into manufacturing significant quantities of graphene, so maybe we will know some day, soon.

Fun fact: Starship and Heavy Booster is stacked and mostly ready for launching an attempt to reach orbit conditions (won't stay in orbit, it will descend before completing a full turn around the Earth). There's no official countdown yet and there may never be (because SpaceX might want to keep it secret to avoid having too much people crowding the 💥 BOOOM! 💥 ground.). So it may happen anytime from when their license is valid. Tomorrow.

Fun fact: The WW2 & Vietnam War Essex class aircraft carrier CV-38 Shangri-La was not named after some dumb book, but after 'Camp David' where Roosevelt and Churchill planned how they'd fight WW2.
(Eisenhower later renamed Shangri La to 'Camp David' after an irrelevant complete nobody: his grandson.)
