You can take a one hour boat ride from Canada to France!

Just off of Newfoundland, you can reach the islands of St.Pierre Miquelon. While these islands are right off of the coast of Newfoundland in Canada, these islands are still legally a part of France! The Islands of St.Pierre Miquelon is the only land in all of Canada that was not settled by the British when Canada was established and inhabited. Interestingly, despite being so close to Canada, the tiny island’s customs and traditions more closely resemble the French lifestyle than the Canadian one. They even use the Euro as their local currency! The island is too tiny for its inhabitants to sustain themselves through things like farming. The main economic activity is fishing, although other, shadier activities like smuggling used to be a pretty important part of their economy as well. In fact, the island was important during US prohibition, when alcohol was funneled through Canada to the US.

Sweet Child O’ Mine was written in 5 minutes

Sweet Child O’ Mine, one of the most popular songs from Guns N’ Roses, was actually written in 5 minutes! Here’s the story, Slash and Izzy were having a jam session and fooling around with their instruments, when Slash decided to make a Circus-Themed riff. They started joking around when Rose heard the riff and came downstairs and the conversation went something like this...

“Dude! That s**t is awesome that’s going to be our next hit!” S."What? No man, I was just ... I was joking around. That can't be a song. It's just nonsense." "No no, it's perfect! I wrote this poem about my girlfriend a little while ago. We can use it for the lyrics.” It took the band a while to come up with the beat but they got it afterwards.

Chameleons do NOT change colors to blend with their surroundings!

That chameleons change colors to disguise themselves is a common misconception. Scientists believe that the real reason for color changing is to communicate with other chameleons and express their mood, like a reptilian mood ring! If the color happens to match the background, it's completely coincidental.

The also speculate that another changing colors could be advantageous is that it lets them adjust to various temperatures and light situations. For example, if the chameleon is cold, it will change to a darker color to absorb more light!
