- A Russian, Mikhail Kalashnikov, invented the AK-47, a rugged assault rifle in 1947. The iconic rifle is part of the flags of Mozambique and Hezbollah — the Shia political and paramilitary group in Lebanon. There are an estimated 100 million AK-47s worldwide. As the rifle was not patented, other manufacturers produced it and Kalashnikov, who died in 2013, never made money from it.
- Some bees don’t make honey. Out of the 20,000 species of bees on Earth, only seven make honey.
