Fred and Wilma Flintstone were the first couple to be shown in bed together on prime-time television when the show first aired on ABC between 1960 and 1966.
Some say it was the Munsters, others the Brady Bunch, and an obscure American series on a local TV station.
Others say the Flintstones were an animated couple, so they don't count.

1. There are approximately 1.4 billion insects for every person on Earth.
2. The total weight of all the insects is about 70 times more than all the people.
3. If everyone on the planet were to step on one side of a giant balance scale, and all the bacteria on Earth were to be placed on the other side, we’d shoot violently upward. That’s because all the bacteria on Earth combined are about 1,166 times more massive than all the humans.

Indeed, hence the use of 'if' rather than 'when'.

Bit like the true fact that if you travel back in time to 1945 you can witness the end of the Second World War😂

Indeed, it is a fact that if you could travel back in time to 1945 you could witness the end of the Second World War, just not a very interesting one.

If you're ever in South Korea and somebody looks at you strangely, gets out their phone and dials 113 you'd better run. That's the emergency number to report a spy!

1. In 2014, a missing woman on a vacation in Iceland was found when it was discovered that she was in the search party looking for herself.
2. The man who found the 5,000 year old corpse Ötzi the Iceman in 1991 (Oldest natural European mummy) was also found dead frozen in ice in 2004.
3. Sunsets on Mars are blue.
4. February used to be the last month of the year, which is why it has the shortest number of days.
5. Although Australia is home to the largest number of venomous snakes in the world, it averages only one fatal snake bite per year.
