– In Singapore, you’ll find the world’s tallest vending machine where you can buy… a car!

– Super powerful earthquakes can make days shorter, because they move the spin of the Earth’s axis!
– Yellow is the color that is the easiest to spot, even in the darkness. That’s why taxis and school buses are mostly this shade.
