The best graphite in the 1800s came from China. This was a selling point for American pencil manufacturers, so the decision was made to paint their pencils the color associated with Chinese royalty: yellow, and use it 'advertise' their high-end graphite. It is ubiquitous today.

Chickens see more colors than humans.
They have extra 'ultra-violet' cones in their eyes.
They can see more things under the sun than even the president,
but as the commander-in-chief once said:
"The sun's not yellow, it's chicken!"
...just more useless and pointless knowledge for you.

Coffee was criminal !! pt 7
In Prussia, 1777, Frederick the Great failed to convince the general public that it should exchange their morning java for a morning beer (done so to address concerns of waning beer sales taxes). So in 1781 he made all coffee a royal monopoly and all 'un-regal' coffee became illegal. To enforce the ban he employed disabled soldiers to track down and snuffle out illegally roasted coffees in the villages.
they drank it anyway.

Romans were efficient. Their statues were created with removable heads.
So when an emperor died all they had to create was a new head and switch it out.
doesn't work well in caricature.
...damn Romans!
