There’s a village in the Netherlands with no streets, only canals

Venice isn’t the only town that gets around mainly by boat. Within Giethoorn Village in the Netherlands, there are no streets, only footpaths and over 6km of canal.

The picturesque village is filled with rustic cottages and surrounded by tall trees — just like a fairytale! Visitors can either kayak through the scenic neighbourhood or ride a bike on the footpaths.

Tornadoes, hurricanes, and flooding can devastate entire towns at once, but the weather condition that proves deadliest to humans is actually heat.

The screaming at many Beatles concerts was so loud that no one could hear them play-not even the Beatles themselves.

It was one reason they stopped touring and retreated to the studio to create albums like Sgt. Pepper with no concern for performing any of the songs live.
