Giant Squids have nerve cells 39 feet long!

Giant Squids have nerve cells 39 feet long!

The largest biological cell is often cited as the ostrich egg, which is about 6 inches long and weigh about 3 pounds. This is a myth.

There are at least several biological cells larger than an ostrich egg, despite the fact that even many scientists and laypeople believe the ostrich egg is indeed the biggest. The ostrich may actually be the heaviest cell, but this has not yet been tested.

Largeness refers to size, not weight, so the ostrich egg is definitely not the largest. The first type of cell larger than the ostrich egg are nerve cells in especially long animals, such as the Giant Squid, which may have nerve cells as long as 39 feet, about 80 times larger than an ostrich egg.

The KKK was originally formed by Southern Democrats!

The KKK was originally formed by Southern Democrats!

At the time of Ulysses S. Grant's election to the presidency, white supremacists were conducting a reign of terror throughout the South.

In outright defiance of the Republican-led federal government, Southern Democrats formed organizations that violently intimidated blacks and Republicans who tried to win political power.

The Ku Klux Klan was originally founded as a social club for former Confederate soldiers in 1865, the Klan evolved into a terrorist organization.

It would be responsible for thousands of deaths, and would help to weaken the political power of Southern blacks and Republicans.

Across the South, the Klan and other terrorist groups used brutal violence to intimidate Republican voters. It was not until 1882 that the United States Supreme Court declared Ku Klux Klan Act unconstitutional.

The US only has one black billionaire. Who is it?

The US only has one black billionaire. Who is it?

It seems that not too long ago if you had a million dollars - you were among some of the richest people in the world.

Today, a million dollars doesn't seem like so much money to have lying around. Rich people are all about the billion dollars.

Whether it is intentional or unintentional that there are a select few people on this planet worth more than a billion dollars, the fact remains that billionaires have too much money.

Some billionaires include Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, but there is only one American billionaire who is of Black descent. Who is it?

You may have guessed - it's Oprah. Her networth is around $2.5 BILLION, but makes a modest $75 MILLION salary. Oprah is a former television host, and current CEO of Harpo Productions and of the Oprah Winfrey Network.

Not only is Oprah considered the most influential woman in the world, but in 2013, Barack Obama awarded her the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Do you think he was more excited to meet Oprah, than she was to meet the President?

A 6 year old girl has a strand of marijuana named after her! Why?

A 6 year old girl has a strand of marijuana named after her! Why?

When she was only 3 months old, Charlotte Figi had her first seizure. Unfortunately, these seizures would continue through her childhood, and they only seemed to get worse and more frequent as time went on.

For her distressing parents and the doctors they asked on numerous occasions, there didn't seem to be a cure. Charlotte was suffering from what is an incredibly rare condition called Dravet Syndrome.

Charlotte's seizures would sometimes last up to two hours, and she was frequently going to the hospital.

Out of options, Charlotte's parents - who initially voted against a bill to allow medical marijuana use in their state, applied for a medical marijuana prescription for their daughter.

A strand of marijuana originally called R4 would later treat Charlotte, causing her seizures to stop almost entirely.

Instead of having multiple seizures per hour, she was only having a handful of them every single month. The marijuana strand that was used to treat Charlotte became known as Charlotte's Web, and is used to treat other patients with Dravet Syndrome

This guy was challenged to a quick draw duel. He won. And got arrested for it.

This guy was challenged to a quick draw duel. He won. And got arrested for it.

Wild Bill Hickok and Davis Tutt were once good friends who played poker together. But according to history reports, the two men had an argument because Hickok fathered an illegitimate child with Tutt's sister.

Eventually, the situation escalated to the point where Hickok refused to play a game of cards if Tutt was involved. The two men would later engage in one of the only recorded quick draw duels in the Wild West.

Wild bill Hickok and Davis Tutt stood across from each other before the first shots of the duel were fired. Tutt motioned for his pistol, and Hickok grabbed his.

The two men fired at almost exactly the same time, except Tutt missed - and Hickok hit Tutt in the ribs. A fatal wound.

Despite the lawless stories of the Wild West, quick draw duels very rarely happened - and when they did, the winner was arrested for manslaughter.

To summarize the legal case, Bill Hickok was acquitted of his charges after a judge ruled that Hickok didn't grab his pistol first, so he was acting in self defence when he fired his gun.
