A list of curious facts

• 92-year-old Nguyen Van Chien’s hair is five metres long—which he hasn’t cut, washed or combed for nearly 80 years. Yes, there is a photo.
• An anonymous New Zealander paid a record-setting $5,291 for an "extremely rare variegated Rhaphidophora tetrasperma"—i.e. a house plant—on an auction site. The final purchase price: roughly $1,325 per leaf. And yes this is a bona fide pandemic-driven trend.
• Yes, there is such a thing as ‘doomsturbating’—and it combines doomscrolling and, well, masturbating. Yes, the virus has birthed many a new and wondrous activity.
• Scientists have built an army of one million microrobots that can fit inside a hypodermic needle! One possible use (in the distant future): to investigate the human body from the inside.
• Last but definitely not least: behold the Brokini! Yup, that’s exactly what you think it is.

One seriously alarming fact

Russia just dropped declassified footage of the biggest thermonuclear bomb of all time: “Tsar Bomba”—tested by the Soviet Union in 1961. See the 100-ton nuclear bomb blow up below. TBH, it made us nauseous but it is certainly something to behold and know. Popular Mechanics has more.
