If you were invisible, you would be blind because your eyes are lined with photoreceptors that reflect light, if your entire body were invisible, light would pass right through your eyes and leave the photoreceptors with nothing to work with, resulting in blindness.

There's a traditional game in northern Germany called "Vor der Tür raten" (≈"Guessing behind the door").

The rules are as follows:
1) You need at least 3 participants that gather inside a room.
2) Every player downs one bottle of "Korn"-liquor.
3) One player leaves the room.
4) The other players have to guess which player left the room.

So that's why the invisibility ring in Quake turned you into a pair of floating eyeballs.

A cat's fur can change due to the body temperature of the body beneath it, especially during summer. This can lead to a hilarious cat with a brown body (where the fur is thickest) but a grey head and tail where the fur is thinner.

A crazy, Jaded Nazi officer with one eye and only 3 fingers named Claus Von Stauffenberg made an attempt to own Adolf Hitler epically by setting off bombs during one of his meetings. Unfortunately he had to wait a pretty long time to actually go through with the plan because Hitler kept rescheduling on him, and since he only had one hand with only a few fingers he was only able to arm one of the two bombs before the meeting started, and while he did succeed at rekking quite a few high profile Nazi party members, Hitler walked away with only a few scrapes and bruises because the massive conference table he was standing behind soaked up most of the blast.

This is probably pretty common knowledge, but I just really enjoy this story.

Ninja used to make their shuriken out of regular old nails, and they would bury them in animal shit for a few days before their missions to ensure that anyone who got cut by them would develope debilitating diseases.

Ninja were literally just a bunch of angry bumpkins that were very skilled at killing people with ridiculous things. Kinda weird how their image has evolved to make them into noble silent killing machines.
