On April 16, 1889, the legendary funny man, film director, and writer Charlie Chaplin was born in London. Regarded as one of the greatest entertainers in movie history, Chaplin grew up in a poor home and faced many challenges. He first took to the stage at the age of 5, substituting for his mother when her voice failed. At age 10, he joined a children’s dance company. Then, in the 1910s and 1920s, he became immensely popular through his films. During this time, he developed a unique style of visual comedy that brought laughter to countless viewers. In his silent comedy The Gold Rush (1925), an iconic scene shows Chaplin’s character, a hungry pioneer in Alaska, cooking and eating his own boot as a gourmet treat. In all, he worked on 82 films, and wrote, directed, and produced several Hollywood classics. Chaplin died in Switzerland on Christmas morning in 1977. He was 88.
Dinosaurs are huge and fascinating creatures that have thrilled movie audiences worldwide. But much of what we see on the screen is just make-believe. To start with, humans and real-life dinosaurs never existed on our planet at the same time. Dinosaurs lived everywhere on earth for 135 million years, from the period between 230 million and 65 million years ago. This means that the last dinosaurs went extinct long before the first human appeared about 300,000 years ago. When people think of dinosaurs, often giant predators such as the fearsome Tyrannosaurus rex come to mind. In reality, scientists have identified more than 500 different species, or kinds, of dinosaurs by studying bones and fossils. The smallest known dinosaur, the bird-like Microraptor, probably weighed about 1 kilogram. Interestingly, many scientists believe that dinosaurs were the ancestors of birds. In fact, the modern-day turkey is thought be a distant relative of Tyrannosaurus rex.
On April 1st 1957, the BBC broadcast a report showing farmers in Switzerland collecting spaghetti noodles that grew from their “spaghetti trees.” The narrator explained that, thanks to a warm winter, the Swiss were enjoying a bumper harvest of spaghetti. Of course, spaghetti does not grow on trees and the report was 100% fake. It was an April Fool’s Day joke. Surprisingly, the broadcast fooled many people, and some even asked the BBC for advice on growing their own spaghetti trees. Looking back, it is easy to see why the report tricked viewers at the time. For one thing, it was narrated by Richard Dimbleby, a respected broadcaster with an impressive voice. In addition, spaghetti was not commonly eaten in the UK in the late 1950s. In today’s world, many people are aware of “fake news” and have a critical attitude toward the media, so it seems unlikely anyone would believe this hoax.
For many, Monday is the start of the school week. As you prepare for the week ahead, you may be curious about how the days got their names. The day names we use now were created by the ancient Romans. Each day was named after a Roman god that was used to identify objects in space. Accordingly, Sunday — the first day of the week on the Roman calendar — means “day of the Sun.” Monday was named “moon day,” or “dies Lunae” in Latin, after the moon goddess Luna. The English name Monday comes from Old English rather than Latin, but still means “moon day.” Other Roman day names came from planets. Tuesday is “Mars Day,” for the war god, and Wednesday is “Mercury Day,” for the storm god. “Thursday” is “Jupiter Day,” for the thunder and lightning god. Friday is “Venus Day,” for the beauty goddess. Saturday is named after Saturn — the god of agriculture.
Each year, our world drinks about 400 billion cups of coffee, making it the second most popular drink after water. Understandably, many people wonder how humans started drinking coffee. According to legend, coffee was discovered about 1,400 years ago. An Ethiopian herder named Kaldi noticed that his goats jumped around energetically after eating red berries from bushes. Kaldi tried the berries himself and felt a refreshing burst of energy. He then decided to share the energizing berries with monks living nearby. However, one monk called the berries “the Devil’s work,” and threw them into a fire. Soon the appealing aroma of the roasting berries caught the attention of the monks, so they pulled the fruits out of the flames and tried to preserve them in hot water. Thus, brewed coffee was born. The caffeine in coffee gives us energy, but it can also interfere with sleep. So, you should avoid coffee before bedtime.
This year, Muslims will observe the holy month of Ramadan from March 11th to April 8th. On each day of the month, between dawn and sunset, all Muslims must practice fasting — that is, not eating food or drinking water. During the fasting period, Muslims usually eat a morning meal just before dawn and an evening meal, called Iftar, or break the fast, after sunset. Ramadan has its roots in an event that Muslims believe happened in 610 A.D. That year, the prophet Muhammad received a message from an angel that contained the entire text of Islam’s holy book, the Quran. Islam is now the world’s second largest religion, with nearly 2 billion followers. A Muslim is a believer in Islam, and Muhammad was the religion’s founder. Observing Ramadan is one of Islam’s five Pillars, or requirements, for a responsible lifestyle. Other Pillars include praying five times each day and giving money to help the poor.
