The tallest mountain in the world is Mauna Kea in Hawaii, standing at 32,808 feet, as measured from base to peak. This is different to Mount Everest (which is the highest, yet stands at 29,030 feet), because much of the Mauna Kea is underwater.

The vessel was on its way to Rhode Island in the United States from the German port of Emden when the fire broke out.

One of the earliest psychological experiments conducted was The Marshmallow Experiment where children were presented a piece of marshmallow and told that they would receive a second piece if they could wait for 15 minutes without eating the first one.

If you have a cold pizza, try placing your cold pizza on an oiled, preheated non-stick pan and cook it for two minutes over medium-low heat (or until the bottom of the slice is crispy). Then, pour two drops of water (less than a teaspoon) into the pan as far from the pizza as you can get. Cover the pan with a lid and turn the heat to low. Cook it for another minute.

In 2012, the BBC's director general has resigned after a two-part scandal took place, one which wrongly alleged that a senior conservative politician from Margaret Thatcher’s administration sexually abused boys. At the time, it was already facing questions about why it had shelved a "Newsnight" investigation into sex abuse allegations against one of its biggest stars, the late Jimmy Savile.
