Hey Folks, How are ya...!!? I been reading Quora and found something very interesting. Here are some of the facts that you may not know...!!
Facts:

(2) In a deck of cards, The King of Hearts does not have a mustache.

They don't actually breathe water but filter oxygen out of it, and if it isn't sufficiently aerated, they'll asphyxiate.
During the times of early CRT monitors, if the same image was continuously displayed on the screen for a long time it would suffer a phosphor burn-in, which is permanent discolouration of certain areas causing image degradation and ghost images.
