This article titled "FAST FACTS" from the journal "How It Works" presents a collection of interesting trivia. Some of the facts mentioned include a mountain on the asteroid Vesta being almost three times taller than Mount Everest, ear wax being a type of sweat rather than actual wax, and the production of enough saliva in a lifetime to fill 500 bathtubs. Other facts include the sale of the world's most expensive car for £114.4 million in 2022, the occurrence of four solar eclipses in a single year in 2029, and the creation of an engine by Rudolf Diesel in 1897 that could run on peanut oil. Additionally, the article mentions the yearly probability of a supervolcano erupting at Yellowstone as 1 in 730,000 and highlights South Korea as the first country to have laws for robots. Lastly, it mentions the vast spread of the ancient Chinese emperor Qin Shi Huang's tomb, which covers an area of 38 square miles. [Extracted from the article]
