    For this scene in Interstellar, Christopher Nolan had 500 acres of corn planted so he didn't have to CGI the farm. After filming, he sold the corn for a profit.

    Sweden sold North Korea 1,000 Volvos in the 1970s. North Korea refused to pay, making this the biggest car theft in human history. Sweden is still sending invoices to this day.

    Dante and Virgil...

    Saturn was Cronus in Greek mythology and he ate his children whole...otherwise Zeus wouldn't have been able to free them.

    That makes the paintings above fake news...

    An 8-mile long "canvas" was recently discovered in the Amazon Rainforest. It contains ice age drawings of long-extinct animals.
