The vast majority of Yellowstone National Park is an enormous caldera formed by the supervolcano's last eruption, which was about 640 000 years ago. If it were to erupt today, Earth would experience a volcanic winter lasting for many years.

You know how your cat will sometimes do a slow blink every once in awhile? It's a sign of contentedness. So if you want to send your kitty some feel-good vibes, give him a slow wink.

Longest place name in the world:

Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateapokaiwhenuakitanatahu

It's located in New Zealand, and means "the place where Tamatea, the man with the big knees, who slid, climbed and swallowed mountains, known as 'landeater,' played his flute to his loved one".
Apparently, this beats that place in Wales.

The longest word in the English dictionary is pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis.
It is a rare lung disease contracted by inhaling minute silica particles.
Most likely to be contracted near a volcanic eruption. ;]

your dreams are all based on experience. whether you've seen it, feel it, smell it, experienced it, etc. The 'strangers' in your dreams are also based on the people your brain remembered while you're walking down the street.
