5. GYPSY HORSE: The gypsy horse is a breed of domestic horse from Ireland.

Its founder Sanders created in 1940 the recipe of his famous fried chicken, which is kept secret.

There’s a sheet with the original recipe signed by Sanders himself in a safe deposit box at KFC headquarters in Louisville. Only two company executives have access to it and their names haven’t been disclosed for security reasons. So definitely, next to the Coca-Cola formula, this represents one of the best-kept secrets of the world in marketing. 2. WHO WAS JACK THE RIPPER?

 5. Bugatti Divo: $6,000,000 Bugatti’s reputation for luxurious, expensive supercars continues with the next two cars in our ranking – starting with the 2021 Divo. Bugatti’s Chiron was such a success that the Divo, a car that closely follows it, has several similar features. However, the Divo is more exotic-looking – and much more exclusive.  Only 40 Divos will be produced and sold. Each has already been spoken for. Its updates include a better suspension, a much lighter frame for increased speed, and a new dorsal fin. Inside, the Divo houses an 8.0L W-16 engine with four turbochargers. As a result, the Divo has 1500 horsepower, an acceleration of just over 0-100kph (0-62mph) in 2.4 seconds.  Its top speed? 380km/h (or 236mph).  To save as much weight as possible, Bugatti kept the inside comfort materials and infotainment to a minimum. However, the steering wheel does feature soft faux suede – and the blue and black aesthetic outside is featured inside as well. 4 Bugatti Centodieci: $9

1. Have better sex/understanding of sex: Perhaps the biggest lie porn sells is that its fantasy world is filled with sex positivity: sexual education, more sex, better sex, etc. What it doesn’t mention, however, is that the deeper a consumer dives into that fantasy world, the more likely their reality is to become just the opposite. Porn is complicated, the science is simple: the more pornography a person consumes, the harder it can become for real relationships and sexual experiences to measure up. Ditch the shallow counterfeits and put the “sex” back in sexy. Or if you’re not ready or not old enough for sex in your relationship, get stoked on having a healthier mindset and expectation around sexuality. 2. It can become an obsession or addiction: On the surface, tobacco and porn don’t seem to have a lot in common but more and more studies are coming out showing that consuming pornography tricks your brain into releasing the same pleasure chemicals as other behaviors, or even drugs.

The following list commemorates 10 of the greatest scientists we’ve ever seen who changed the world. 10. Aristotle (384-322 BC): Student of Plato and a tutor to Alexander the Great, Aristotle was a genius Greek philosopher and scientist of the ancient age. Born in 384 BC Aristotle was a biologist, a zoologist, an ethicist, a political scientist, and a master of rhetoric and logic. He also gave theories in physics and metaphysics. Aristotle gained knowledge in different fields with his expansive mind and prodigious writings. However, only a fraction of his writings is preserved at present. Aristotle made collections of the plant and animal specimens and classified them according to their characteristics which made a standard for future work. He further gave theories on the philosophy of science. Aristotle also elaborated and estimated the size of the earth which Plato assumed to be a globe. Aristotle explained the chain of life through his study in flora and fauna where it turned from s
