Humans have been cultivating rice plants—which are actually species of grass—for somewhere between 12,000 and 15,000 years. All of our modern, domesticated rice can be traced back to a single crop in the Pearl River Valley of ancient China. The only other food that might be as old is corn, which was domesticated in Mexico between 7,500 and 12,000 years ago.

Disclaimer: do not drink gasoline. Okay, now that we've got that covered, if you could drink gasoline, it would provide you with 31,000 calories of energy, the equivalent of 15 to 20 days' worth of food. Scientists figured this out when they were trying to compare the efficiency of a car to that of a human peddling a bicycle. By calculating how many calories it takes to bike for one mile at 15 mph, they found out that a person could bike about 912 miles on a single gallon of gas.

That artfully wavy bit of toothpaste that sits atop toothbrushes in advertisements has its own name ("nurdle"), and its own lawsuit, as well. In 2010, Colgate Palmolive sued its largest toothpaste manufacturing rival, GlaxoSmithKline, for claiming that it owned the exclusive rights to use a picture of the nurdle on its packaging. Glaxo, makers of Aquafresh, countersued, and the matter was settled confidentially out of court.

Imagine that every time you needed to read something, you had to lift a piece of glass the size of a mirror to your face. That was the best solution that humankind had come up with for vision problems before the 13th century, when some enterprising folks in Italy shrank the glass and heavy frames enough that they could finally be worn on the nose. A while later, Spanish eyeglass makers came up with the idea of attaching ribbons to the frame so that the glasses could remain on the wearer's face. Finally, in the 1700s, these ribbons were replaced with the "arms" that today's glasses have, allowing them to rest comfortably on the nose and ears.

According to a UN report from 2015, 2.5 billion of the world's 7 billion people lack access to a toilet, particularly in areas of South Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa. Since another report put the number of mobile phone users at 6 billion, that means more than twice as many people have phones as proper plumbing. This is not to say there are too many cell phones but to say that we still have a long way to go when it comes to providing sanitation to everyone.
