Did you know that you can build such a tolerance to heat that it is possible to swim in lava, but only once.

I was under the impression that lava was of such high density that you'd "float" on top of it, whilst burning to death, of course.

Fun Fact - Its estimated that the average human has more bacterial cells in his or her body then human cells.  But the estimate is rather uncertain.  Earlier estimates where on the order of 10 to one in favor of the bacteria.  More recent estimates are about 1.3 to 1.   Either way the human cells (which are typically much bigger) have more mass.

The movie die hard is technically a sequel.

 

it is based on a book that is a sequel to another book the movie of The original was called “the detective” and played by none other than frank Sinatra. 

 

When they made die hard they were contractually obligated to give the role to frank Sinatra first but for obvious reasons (extreme age at the time) he turned the role down.

 

source: the movies that made us documentary on Netflix. Die hard episode. The ghostbusters one is good too. The rest of the eps are garbage.

The Wreck of the Titan: Or, Futility was a novella published in1898.  There are similarities to the RMS Titanic (sunk April 14, 1912), to include:

1. British ocean liner

2. Sank in the North Atlantic

3. Sank due to hitting an iceburg

4. There were not enough lifeboats for all passengers (common to the point of all but universal at that time)

 

While it is often thought that the author was predicting the future, a more plausible thought process is that he was just very knowledgeable of ship building trends.
