Scientists have found that hippos and whales have a common ancestor who lived 50 million years ago. That's why it can be said that the whales and hip horses are distant relatives.\n\n4.

In the 19th century,<br> in England,<br> makasar oil was very popular among men because it was believed that he could cure alopecia (baldness). In order to protect the furniture from oil stains,<br> housewives began to cover the back of the furniture with handkerchiefs. Since then,<br> they are called anti-mammals and these handkerchiefs can be found on the seatbacks of trains and planes.\n\n![ (https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmZpBZtwZ1KGf57zfdnffjocaTarCNtJKvHcjrTnJQdKNk\/image.png)\n\n7.

A door with a rotating system prevents sudden drop in or increase in temperature.\n\n![ (https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmXrEhRvzYpLuUFNxinPLGaxe6YWfTteLuFC4aa73cQk9C\/image.png)\n\n16.
