Ancient civilizations had no word for the colour blue. It was the last colour to appear in many languages,

I looked that up. You are right!
But some people think April 18th 1930 should take the prize.

Contrary to popular belief, road runners are actually slower than coyotes. The average top speed for a desert coyote is 40 miles an hour, while a road runner averages about half at 20. And just for kicks, your average hedgehog only runs about 5 miles an hour - Sega's been lying to us for decades!
