Curious and Wondering
The sound of a duck's quack is the only sound that can't create an echo.
Shellac (a food additive and a wood-finishing product) is derived from the excretions of the Kerria lacca insect, most commonly found in the forests of Thailand.
Carmine is made, literally, from ground-up cochineal insects. They are killed by exposure to heat or immersion in hot water and then dried. Because the abdomen region that houses the fertilized eggs contains the most carmine, it is separated from the rest of the body, ground into a powder and cooked at high temperatures to extract the maximum amount of color. Carmine can also be identified on food labels as Crimson Lake, Cochineal, Natural Red 4, C.I. 75470 or E120.

Tyre was a Phoenician city that was built almost 2 miles off the shore of Phoenicia. This was a revolutionary form of defense at the time, and it was almost impossible to lay siege upon. Alexander the Great figured the only way to invade the city was by use of a mole. The mole was constructed of boats laid parallel to each other, bound together by ropes and thread. Soldiers would reach the city by walking on this path.
When the mole was within range of arrows and spears, the people of Tyre used flaming weaponry on it, attempting to destroy the mole or kill the workers building it. Wooden shields were constructed by the Romans and held in place by soldiers, who dumped buckets of water on them so they wouldn't ignite. Tyre was captured.
