fact number 1. It cost $265 million to make Grand Theft Auto V When the game was released in 2013, it became the most expensive video game ever made.

It took five years to develop the game, with Rockstar’s studios all over the world working together in tandem. fact number 2. Velociraptors were actually feathered dinosaurs If you know about velociraptors from Jurassic Park, then this may come as quite a surprise. While scientists have been able to figure out that these vicious hunters used to have feathers, the question of how feathered they were is still unanswered. It’s possible that they just had tufts of feathers on their arms, head, or possibly all over! fact number 3. According to research, starting school at 10 am is better for your health This is particularly true for teenagers, whose growing bodies require more sleep than they’re able to get with conventionally early start times.

It took five years to develop the game, with Rockstar’s studios all over the world working together in tandem. fact number 5. Tom Cruise got divorced from each of his three ex-wives when they reached the age of 33. Tom Cruise’s first wife was Mimi Rogers, he parted ways with her in 1989. Later he married Nicole Kidman, but they were not meant to be as they divorced in 2001. Cruise got married once again in 2006 to Katie Holmes but split with her just six years later in 2012. Fun Fact: Each of Tom Cruise’s ex-wives is successively eleven years younger than the last. fact number 6. As dogs were domesticated, their eyes evolved to look cuter. Have you ever seen a picture of a wolf’s eyes and seen something mysteriously menacing in them compared to those of a dog? Well, there’s a good reason for that. Dogs evolved muscles around their eyes, allowing them to change their facial expression slightly, commonly known as “puppy eyes.” It’s believed that they evolved so because dogs that looked cuter and friendlier were more likely to be looked after. fact number 7. it turns out that you don’t need to drink six to eight cups of water per day. Water is without a doubt one of the most important things on our planet, and since around the 1940s, it’s been popularly believed that you should drink about 84 ounces (2.5 liters) of the stuff every day to stay healthy. Researchers have since delved deeper into the issue and concluded that you don’t need to drink anywhere near that much, as you get a lot of water from the food you eat. Instead, you’re merely advised to drink when you’re thirsty and drink extra on particularly hot days.
