Prostitution in animals[edit]

According to one researcher who had a paper published in the journal Animal Behaviour, as reported by The Cambridge Student, long-tailed macaque males use grooming to pay for sex. The study showed a correlation between the length of time a male spent grooming a female and her willingness to have sex with him. [1]

Users who have reached peak position[edit]

Smosh holds the record for the highest accumulative number of days as #1, with 758. Smosh has reached the #1 position on three separate occasions, which is also a record (later matched by PewDiePie). The total number of days since May 17, 2006 (when the YouTube Subscriber Charts were first released) is 6546. Smosh has been #1 for approximately 11.6% of this time with 758 days.

Obama's IQ[edit]

119[24]

Human height[edit]

Worldwide average men height is 1.73[25] m and female - 1.6 m.[26] - quite obviously wrong estimation (60% of world populations are composed by Asian. even if all of the rest are as tall as US adults (which is not), the average would be 170 or less.)

Power[edit]

In a ranking combining many more variables (GDP, current account balance, public finances, number of Global 500 corporations, nuclear protection, manpower fit for military service, military expenditures, military power projection, size of diplomatic network, UN membership, permanent UN Security Council membership, number of patents and industrial designs, official development aid, BBC Attitudes towards Countries poll[49]) in 2010 EU scored 0.961 and US 0.924 and in 2011 EU scored 0.954[50] and US 0.904.[51]

abc[edit]

Several hundred questions and comments have been made in relation to the texts of the theory. As of July 2015 no mathematician has found any substantial problem or gap in the theory and its application to the proofs of famous conjectures, despite it had been checked 19 times by independent authors[52]. An international conference on IUT will be held in Kyoto in July 2016.

Notes[edit]

  1. ^ With top tickets set at an all-time high of $5.50,Cleopatra had amassed as much as $20 million in such guarantees from exhibitors even before its premiere. Fox claimed the film had cost in total $44 million, of which $31,115,000 represented the direct negative cost and the rest distribution, print and advertising expenses. (These figures excluded the more than $5 million spent on the production's abortive British shoot in 1960–61, prior to its relocation to Italy.) By 1966 worldwide rentals had reached $38,042,000 including $23.5 million from the United States.[31]
  2. ^ After Waterworld ballooned from its initial $100 million budget,[37] people involved in the project estimated the final production cost at around $175–180 million,[38] with Kevin Costner—also a producer on the film—confirming it had cost $172 million.[35] Including distribution and marketing the total cost of producing and releasing the film came to $235 million.[39]
  3. ^ Financial statements filed in the United Kingdom show that production costs for Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides totaled $410.6 million between October 2009 and April 2013 offset against a tax rebate of $32.1 million.[44]
