There are so many interesting things in the world. Sometimes even the most usual things hide something that none of us even thought about. It's time to reveal all the cards.

2. Robert Todd Lincoln, the son of Abraham Lincoln, was three times on the verge of death.
The eldest son of the Lincoln family on the night that his father was killed, along with his parents, was to visit the Ford Theater. At the same time, he stayed in the White House, which was 1.5 kilometers from the ill-fated place. And 16 years later, while on Sixth Avenue in Washington, he witnessed the death of President James Garfield. Moreover, when in 1901 in New York, President William McKinley was shot dead, Robert Lincoln attended the same Pan American Show.
3. In Japan, if you are drunk or get into a fight, the police will gently wrap you in ... a sheet.
