Now, if you tried to push the gate open again, the pressure would just make it impossible. But small flaps on the bottom of each gate could be opened, allowing water to flow through. And when the river was the same level on each side, the pressure evened out, meaning you could open the gates easily. Now, this ancient design is still used today in the Panama Canal, creating locks between sections of the canal that have different heights. When boats enter, they can be raised or lowered to the height of the next section before continuing their journey. But since these gates are so big, their weight started to destroy the hinges, which is why they were redesigned to be hollow, allowing them to float.",

The captain began to panic, raising a distress flag. A rescue boat was launched, but the trees were too heavy and the ship sank before anyone could arrive. Captain Santa drowned along with nine other crew members. Christmas trees washed ashore for weeks after. And to this day, the Christmas trees still lay at the bottom of Lake Michigan.",

You see, injuries like these usually cause swelling as your body tries to get rid of the foreign objects, but the plastic pieces didn't activate his immune system, meaning they could stay in his body for a long time without any harm. Now, he figured if he could put this kind of plastic in someone's eyes, he could replace their damaged lens, curing their blindness. And he eventually invented the first permanent contacts. Now millions of people can see again, all thanks to one pilot's injury.",

Now, if you got super close and peed really hard, the stream would hold together long enough for the electricity to climb up. But the fence's electricity would only be strong enough for a quick little sting.",

And no one ever suspected him because he acted stupid. You see, he was captured during the Vietnam War. And instead of fighting back, he just pretended to be dumb. He acted like he couldn't read or understand orders, convincing the guards that he wasn't smart enough to cause trouble. But behind that act, he memorized the names of over 250 prisoners. And he even learned the exact location of the camp by watching closely when guards took him into town for fake glasses fittings. When he was finally released, he went back to the US and told them all the information he gathered, which ended up saving hundreds of prisoners.",

Since the shell is actually a part of its body, and this can poison the turtle, eventually killing it. But even if it survives, the paint blocks sunlight from being absorbed through the shell, making the turtle weak. Now, some people use shrink wrap stickers instead of paint, but this holds the shell tightly together, meaning it can't grow normally. Instead, new cells will form at the edge of the shell. And as it grows, the covered parts stay in place and the shell around it becomes seriously deformed. Which is why you should just never decorate your turtle.",
