Mayans thought cross-eyed children were cute so they would put a ball of wax in a baby's fringe to make it focus in the centre.

The first true pyramid was built under the orders (and design) of a pharoah called Sneferu. (best name in all of history)

Richard III did have a legitimate claim to the throne, but so did Henry VII - he was descended from Henry VI, whom Richard's ancestors had deposed. So Henry probably had a better claim than Richard.

Henry VII was indeed descended from previous royalty, but through a bastard. If there's illegitamcy in the bloodline the claim to the throne is void. His biggest (and really only) claim to the throne was that he beat the previous king in battle, which is perfectly fine in our history, but still not as strong as a bloodline claim.
