Antelopes are found in Africa a lot which are different species apparently. Only one deer is found in Africa that too on the edge of North Africa with Gibraltar.

That's true, but to be fair to them, the holding Wilsdorf Foundation has been spending tons of money on both local and international charities, environmental and social causes, education as well as culture and infrastructure throughout the years. At the same time, they are also more secretive than the Knights Templars though, so who knows what they are up to

Sonic the Hedgehog’s full name is actually Ogilvie Maurice Hedgehog.

This is a bit of a contentious one, though, as some fans claim that it isn’t canon. This is because Sonic’s full name was never published.

Archie Comics, who publish two different Sonic comics, released a comic that mentions that Sonic’s middle name is Maurice but never mentioned his first name.

One of the Archie Comic writers has since shared that Sonic’s first name is actually Ogilvie.

Fans disagree, as they say, that Archie Comic’s Sonic isn’t true canon, only the video games and the Japanese manga are.

Broken Arrows is a term used to describe nuclear weapon mishaps. So far U.S only has reported 32 broken arrows, 6 of them relating to nuclear grade weapons being lost and never recovered.

They are still out there somewhere, undetonated.

Beastie Boys first album was initially named ‘Don’t Be A Faggot’. Hilarious and offensive.

Ad Rock has acknowledged its poor taste and apologised.
