Today's facts:

“Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children’s children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.”
Shakespeare's works often feature complex female characters, with discussions highlighting their roles as interesting members of the human race, arguably better represented than in many modern Hollywood movies.
On Christmas Day 1991, Mikhail Gorbachev announced his resignation, effectively acknowledging the United States as the sole remaining superpower on the face of the earth.
Feral honey bee populations can become self-sustaining and may differ genetically from managed bee populations, potentially serving as sources of genetically useful "survivor stock."
Tight Fit, a British pop group, achieved a UK number 1 hit for three weeks in 1982 with their cover of "The Lion Sleeps Tonight," despite having two completely different line-ups within a year.
Real Madrid won the European Cup five times in a row from 1956 to 1960, a record that remains unmatched in the tournament's history.
The 12th-century vineyard terraces of Lavaux, which run along Lake Geneva, are a UNESCO World Heritage site.
Piz Gloria, a rotating restaurant atop the 2,970-meter (9,745-feet) Schilthorn summit, served as Blofeld's lair in “On Her Majesty's Secret Service” and now offers Bond-themed buffet breakfasts and vodka martinis to skiers.
The term "quadruped" comes from the Latin words "quadru," meaning four, and "ped," meaning feet.
Franz Schubert's six settings of the Mass are notable for omitting the phrase "unam sanctam, catholicam et apostolicam ecclesiam," which disqualifies them for actual liturgical use in many churches.
