Fun Fact

In 1998, Sony accidentally sold 700,000 camcorders that had the technology to see through people’s clothes.

These cameras had special lenses that use infrared light meant to be used as night vision, but it also allowed you to see through some types of clothing.

History Fact

The Eastern Roman Empire’s weapon called Greek Fire was used in ship-mounted flamethrowers.

The secret of how to make Greek Fire was lost with the fall of the Roman Empire.


This weapon so unique and deadly due to the fact that throwing water onto it would only feed the fire. It was almost gelatinous in texture and would stick to things.


It was mostly used in naval warfare, as the large flamethrowers needed for its projectile use could be better accommodated by ships rather than infantry.


The Greek Fire would easily demolish a fleet of wood and canvas ships floating on water.


Movie/TV Trivia

Fantasia (1940) was originally a short called The Sorcerers Apprentice, but Walt Disney overspent on the score and decided to make it feature length film rather than waste money.
