The World's Longest Musical Performance
In Halberstadt, Germany, a musical performance is taking place that began in 2001 and is set to end in 2640. Yes, you read that right! The performance of John Cage's "Organ²/ASLSP (As Slow As Possible)" is projected to last a whopping 639 years. We wonder if they offer season passes!
The Chicken That Lived Without a Head
In 1945, a chicken named Mike lived for 18 months without a head. His owner, Lloyd Olsen, was trying to make dinner but missed the jugular vein. Mike refused to die and ended up touring the country, billed as the "Miracle Chicken." Now that's some serious headless horseman energy!
A Planet Made of Diamonds
Move over, De Beers! A planet named "55 Cancri e," located 40 light-years away from Earth, is believed to be made up largely of diamond. It's worth an estimated $26.9 nonillion (that's 30 zeros!). So, if anyone's planning an intergalactic heist, count us in.
A Time When "Green Screen" Meant...Actual Green!
In the early days of TV, horses were green-screened using peanut butter. Why, you ask? The horses needed to "lip-sync" for singing cowboys, and the peanut butter made it look like they were talking. Now, that's a tasty special effect!
The Most Expensive Pizza Ever
The world's most expensive pizza costs $12,000 and takes 72 hours to make. It's topped with three types of caviar, lobster from Norway, and pink Australian sea salt. It's served at the chef's home in Italy, and the price includes a pizza-making class. Talk about a 'pie' in the sky!

From headless chickens to diamond planets, our world (and beyond) is filled with oddities that are too good not to share. So, spread the laughter and amazement - share these facts with your friends and watch their reactions.
