The X in X-Ray is of the Algebraic formula. It was the inventor admitting he didn't know how the X-ray actually worked. I don't know how this works-ray doesn't sound as good I guess.

German physics professor Wilhelm Röntgen stumbled on X-rays November 8, 1895, while experimenting, and about seven weeks later wrote the first scientific paper on them, calling them "X rays" because he did not know what type of ray they were. Their medical use was discovered when he made a picture of his wife's hand on a photographic plate formed due to X-rays, which was the first X-ray of a human body part. When she saw the picture, she said "I have seen my death." wiki :D

  1. People who suffer from boanthropy believe they are a cow and will try to live their life as a cow.
  2. A duel between three people is called a truel.
  3. When you blush, the lining of your stomach also turns red.
  4. It’s impossible to hum while holding your nose. Go ahead, try it!
  5. Ancient Romans used urine to whiten their teeth.
  6. Cheese is the most shoplifted food in the world.

Makes me wonder how many cats (and other pets) are also allergic to humans...

Can too! I've been doing that for years. No idea why...

You can't hold a long note, but you can hum a lot of staccato notes with both your mouth and nose shut. Air just doesn't have very far to flow before your mouth fills up and you have to cycle it back down your throat again for another pass.
