Napoleon Was Short A self-conscious short person who overcompensates with an aggressive personality is said to have a Napoleon complex. The problem is, the famously short French conqueror wasn't short at all. He was measured at 5 feet, 2 inches tall — but he was measured with French inches, which are longer than English inches. He actually stood 5 feet, 7 inches — taller than the average European man at the time. |

A Penny Dropped From the Empire State Building Will Kill You It someone dropped a penny off the Empire State Building and that penny hit you, it would hurt — but only a little. Because of their non-aerodynamic shape, pennies flutter to the ground like tree leaves and never go faster than about 25 mph. If it were dropped from the same height in a vacuum void of atmosphere, however, a penny could reach 210 mph, which could inflict significant damage, especially if you were hit with the penny's edge. |

Henry Ford Invented the Automobile In the world of automobiles, there was the time before Henry Ford and everything after — but the mind behind the legendary Model T by no means invented the car. That title likely goes to a man named Karl Benz, a German engineer who developed a working car by 1885 — the genesis of today's Mercedes-Benz. |

Alcohol Kills Brain Cells As part of their health education, most school kids learn that drinking alcohol kills brain cells. The truth is that moderate drinking doesn't cause any damage in most cases. Heavy drinking absolutely can damage the brain, as well as the liver and other critical systems, but that damage isn't the result of cell death. The amount of alcohol required to kill cells would kill the person first. |
