Each king in a deck of playing cards represents a great king from history. Spades - King David; Clubs - Alexander the Great; Hearts - Charlemagne; and Diamonds - Julius Caesar.

I need an honest reply to this question : How many of you already knew (before reading this) that the King of Hearts is the only King without a mustache and the King of diamonds has an axe, while others have swords.

If it was as big as a Plymouth I would finally have a car to use to get to many places around the world in a matter of minutes, a few hours, heck maybe even seconds!

Koalas have exactly the same fingerprints as humans. A trained expert would have trouble telling human and koala fingerprints apart, even using a microscope.

They can even be confused in a crime scene. Maybe they can be used to unlock an iPhone 5s.
