People with different sex, age, language or even status actually perceive colours differently.
Different languages have different amount of words to describe colours, and that can make different language people perceive colours differently. The English language has 11 words to describe colours and the Himba people from Northern Namibia has only half the amount. They can distinguish different green colours quickly while English speaking people normally wouldn't be able to tell the difference. And They can't tell the difference between blue and green which we see them so easily.

In 1367 Charles V of France banned the wearing of shoes shaped like penises.

India withdrew from the 1950 World Cup because FIFA refused to let the team play barefoot.

As do baby koalas. They are weaned on their mother's excrement. It is consumed directly from their mother's bottom in the form of 'soup' :sick:

that VIAGRA was discovered by accident. It was originally tested on subjects for its effects on hypertension and angina but researchers were baffled by why some male subjects refused to return the pill samples when the testing was over. Thus its side effects were known!
