🎶 Back in 1988, Israel Kamakavivo'ole went to a recording studio in the middle of the night and asked if he could record a song.
🎶 He was so polite that the studio owner agreed even though it was very late.
🎶 Within just 15 minutes of playing his ukulele, Israel recorded a mashup of the songs "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" and "What A Wonderful World", which turned out to be a huge hit.
🎶 This song was featured in several movies like "Meet Joe Black", "Find Forrester", and "50 First Kisses", as well as in TV shows like "Clinic", "Ambulance", and "Charmed".

🚗 In the 1950s in Italy, they produced cars for children!
🚗 These were not toys that kids ride in parks today, but real vehicles.
🚗 From 1959 onwards, Vittorio Bonacina created the Disco Volante specifically for young children. And for older kids, the electric vehicle "Lucciola" was introduced in 1949. It could reach speeds of up to 10 km/h and travel up to 45 kilometers.
🚗 However, these cars were only affordable for very wealthy families. Therefore, only a few hundred units were manufactured.

The famous photo of Einstein with his tongue sticking out was taken on his birthday in 1951.
He presented the picture to the popular science presenter, Howard Smith, signing the back of the photo with the words, "This gesture is for all mankind and I hope you will like it."
