ELEVEN RANDOM WIKIPEDIA FACTOIDS

(presented in the random order they came up)

1. Iocaste - Iocaste (Jupiter XXIV) is a retrograde irregular satellite that orbits Jupiter. It's about 5 kilometers in diameter, and takes over 609 days to orbit the planet.
2. Madelyne Pryor - Madelyne Pryor was a clone of one of the X-Men, Jean Grey, that was created by Mister Sinister. She first appeared in 1983, and has not been seen since 2000.
3. Worshipful Company of Spectacle Makers - The Company was founded in 1629 and became a livery company in 1809 (meaning it regulated its profession in London). It surrendered its power to examine opticians before they could practice in 1979 to the British College of Ophthalmic Opticians.
4. Forgách utca - Forgách utca is a station on the M3 line of the Budapest Metro in Hungary.
5. Domestication of the horse - Horses appeared in Paleolithic cave art from about 30,000 BC, but no one knows when they were actually domesticated. The prevailing theory is that it was around the Ukraine in approximately 4000 BC.
6. Spectamen - A genus of sea snails, marine gastropod molluscs in the family Trochidae, also known as the top snails (meaning their shells kind of look like toy tops).
7. Aquaporin - Aquaporin are integral membrane proteins from a larger family of major intrinsic proteins that form pores in the membrane of biological cells. Get that? Basically, they help water move in and out of cells. Aquaporin. Now you get it?
8. Ryo Ishikawa - A Japanese professional golfer that became the youngest golfer ever to win a major tournament on the Japan Golf Tour in 2007 at the age of 15 years 8 months.
9. Commonwealth Hall - Commonwealth Hall was an Egyptian soap opera that isn't on the air anymore due to low ratings. Wikipedia doesn't tell me when it was on, however.
10. 1960 in Pakistan - Apparently, only four things happened in Pakistan in 1960. In January, they formed an Electoral Collegeto elect the members of the provincial and national assemblies. On February 14, Ayub Khan was elected president with 95.6% of the vote (he was the only candidate). On February 17, Khan was sworn in. On September 19, Pakistan and India signed the Indus Waters Treaty. An eventful year for Pakistan.
11. Austrovenus stutchburyi - Austrovenus stutchburyi, also known as the New Zealand cockie, or the New Zealand little neck clam, is a bivalve mollusc (meaning its shell has two parts) and is unique to New Zealand.

I guess molluscs win this round, with two out of eleven entries. Hope you feel enlightened now.
