Fun Fact
Every time you shuffle a deck of cards, you get a combination that's never existed.
Your angsty teenage dreams of being the most original, unique person alive could actually come true! Grab a deck of cards and shuffle. Most likely, you will have created a combination of cards that had never existed yet until that moment. Any math experts out there know that this is because the probability comes out to 52 factorial or 52! (52 x 51 x 50 … x 2 x 1). The probability that two card shuffles are exactly the same is so small, it likely will never happen.
History Fact
Chairman Mao Zedong killed 45 million people during China's "Great Leap Forward" from 1958–1962.

Movie/TV Quote
"In one of our designs even these mosquito bites will look like juicy, juicy mangoes!"
Bend It Like Beckham (2002)
There's simply a funny melody to the backhanded insult a seamstress directs toward aspiring soccer star Jess (Parminder Nagra) in Bend It Like Beckham when she's miserably getting fitted for a sari. Jess' sister is chided by their mother for wanting her garment to act as a push-up bra, but the older women are desperate for Jess to show off any of her body. It's a miniature encapsulation of the notions of womanhood our heroine battles against over the course of the movie.
