Octopi are one of the smartest animals in the world; were it not for their very short lifespans (3 years) they would have long ago already conquered the entire planet.

Contrary to popular opinion, Indiana Jones 4 was a good movie.
Even more contrary to popular opinion, the Star Wars prequels trilogy are actually very good movies. Hayden Christensen's Anakin Skywalker is utterly brilliant.

Camera manufacturers keep increasing the number of megapixels in every camera they put out there, and it's absolutely redundant, both for your screen or when you print your pics.

The Vasco da Gama Bridge in Lisbon, is so long (over 17km in length), that it was necessary to take the Earth's curvature into account to site the piers correctly, otherwise a deviation of 80 cm (31 in) would be apparent at either end of the bridge
