Mercedes invented a car controlled by joystick
The joystick in the 1966 Mercedes F200 showcase car controlled speed and direction, replacing both the steering wheel and pedals. The car could also sense which side the driver was sitting in, so someone could control it from the passenger seat.

Now there is a money saver, the problem is it probably isn't recognized in any other state. That would also save on divorce too, I guess. Leave the state and you are no longer married. What a thoughtful place to live.
Glitter was made on a ranch
A cattle rancher in New Jersey is credited for inventing glitter, and it was by accident. Henry Ruschmann from Bernardsville, New Jersey was a machinist who crushed plastic while trying to find a way to dispose of it and thus made glitter in 1934.
Abraham Lincoln was a bartender
You know that the 16th president of the United States fought for the freedom of slaves and the Union, but what you didn’t know is that he was a licensed bartender. Lincoln’s liquor license was discovered in 1930 and displayed in a Springfield liquor store. Wayne C. Temple, a Lincoln expert, told the Southeast Missourian newspaper that in 1863 Congress wanted to fire Ulysses S. Grant because he drank a lot and Lincoln’s response was to send Grant a supply of whiskey.

One third of the world's population drives on the left side of the road.
The first commercial passenger flight lasted only 23 minutes
These fun facts really get you thinking about how far we’ve come. Taking a 23-minute flight might seem like a waste of money today, but in 1914 Abram Pheil paid $400, which would be $8,500 today, for a 23-minute long plane ride. He flew between St. Petersburg, Florida and Tampa, Florida, where only 21 miles of water separate the cities. Pheil, a former mayor of St. Petersburg, and the pilot, Tony Jannus, were the only passengers. This momentous flight paved the way for air travel as we know it.

Kind of reminded me of a couple of billionaires taking a few minute ride into outer space and back. Do we think that every person space travel will be a thing 100 years from now? Maybe, but not the way things are today. I've decided not to wait for it or pay for a ticket in advance.
A woman called the police when her ice cream didn’t have enough sprinkles
The West Midlands police in England released a recording of a woman who called 999 (the U.K. version of 911) because there were “bits on one side and none on the other,” she says in the recording. She was even more upset when the ice cream truck man did not want to give her money back.

A lot of nutritionists use beets and beet juice to test your levels of stomach acid. If you consume beets and your urine turns pink, you have low stomach acid. If your urine is still clear, it means that you have high levels of stomach acid. and eating boiled beets can offer quick relief from constipation, as beets are high in the fibres that are essential for the smooth movement of the digestive waste through the intestines.
I just found both of these things out
