The Volkswagen Beetle has the dubious distinction of being the most popular car ever created by an evil dictator. It wasn’t simply that Adolf Hitler told his people to go away and make a car – he personally sat down in the early 30s and sketched the first Beetle designs. (Although the car was actually known as a “Type 1″ until 1967, when Volkswagen made the nickname official.)

The first couple to be shown in bed together on prime time TV were Fred and Wilma Flintstone.

The elephant is the only mammal that can’t jump.

The most important car ever made was the Model T Ford, whose popularity ushered in the automobile age. And who gets the credit? Henry Ford, even though the actual hero of the story was one Childe Harold Wills. A friend of Ford’s, he oversaw the design of the Model T and even came up with the squiggly Ford logo we still have today. He and Ford later fell out and Wills set up his own car company. Which flopped.
