Vial in a casket

These devices are intended to store a slip of paper with the vital information of the person residing in the casket.

The game of Monopoly dates back to 1903. And while it's seen plenty of changes throughout the years, the current version we know and love features a snazzy top hat-wearing man with a mustache who's holding a cane. While you may know him as rich Uncle Pennybags, his real name is Milburn Pennybags. And he's not the only member of the game who has a name. The Monopoly policeman is officially called Officer Edgar Mallory. Guy behind bars is Jake the Jailbird

Table Mountain, one of the iconic landmarks of South Africa, is one of the oldest mountains in the world.

Around 2,030 million years ago a meteor the size of a mountain (about 10km across) fell to earth in South Africa’s Free State making a crater 300km across; it is the oldest crater from either a comet or meteorite and the site of the largest energy release in history.

The Waldorf Astoria hotel once had its own private railroad track at Grand Central so that its guests could clandestinely enter and exit New York City. Largely abandoned now, it operates only when the president is in town, in case the need arises for an emergency exit.
