Fast facts: There are more than 500 crematories in the United States. These modern facilities are considered environmentally friendly. They are engineered so that little, if any, of a corpseâs gases escape into the atmosphere; the vapors are recirculated through the oven. The giraffeâs heart is huge; it weighs 25 pounds, is 2 feet long, and has walls up to 3 inches thick. It is a comparatively recent insight that light travels from the object to the eye. Until about 400 years ago, it was thought that there was "something" in the eye that went out and saw the object.

 

On this date: In 1305, Sir William Wallace, Scottish hero and champion of Scottish independence who beat Edward I at the battle of Stirling Bridge, was captured by the English and later executed as a traitor. In 1844, the Statue of Libertyâs cornerstone was laid at Bedloeâs Island, now Liberty Island, New York. On October 28, 1886, the statue was accepted as a gift for the United States, from the people of France, by United States President Grover Cleveland. In 1861, the United States federal government levied an income tax for the first time. In 1949, some 6,000 people were killed and 100,000 people left homeless when an earthquake measuring 6.75 on the Richter scale struck Ecuador. In 1974, United States President Richard Nixon admitted he had withheld information about the Watergate break-in; he announced his resignation three days later.
