A man did this in London in 1810, but with everything - chimney sweeps, piano deliveries, priests, lawyers, coal carts, doctors, undertakers, the archbishop of Canterbury...
It brought the whole area to a standstill and the guy won a guinea in a bet and ran away to the countryside

Sexual dimorphism rule

"Sexual" in this context just means relating to different sexes, it's not saying they're doing it to be sexually appealing (I hope at least)

Those who live outside Europe. What are things Europeans are not ready to hear.

Europeans: call a game where you kick ball with foot "football"
Americans: call a game where you throw ball with hands "football"

What is an interesting fact that you recently discovered?
The word "asteroid" literally means "star-like", because when they were first observed, no telescope could see enough detail to know what they were, so they were basically just called "those things that look a bit like stars".
Even when eventually we figured out what they were, they were generally considered to all be spherical like tiny planets (see: The Little Prince) until the 1970s when one of the Mars probes flew close enough to have a look at one.
