6. Drinking to a Good Photograph!
Cheers! This photograph dating back to 1844 is the oldest, displaying people drinking. Octavius Hill is present on the right of James Ballantine and Dr George Bell. They were probably sharing a joke along with the drink when captured. Three ‘ale flutes’ (drinking glasses of the 19 th century) and a beer bottle take centre stage on the table!

Never knew about the chicken nor Chester

same here... Chickens can also be gynandromorphous, and only about
1 in 10,000 chickens are born with this rare genetic
abnormality. The interesting thing is that the researchers
expected to find a mutation of some kind, but instead
came across chickens that are half-male and half-female
with completely different anatomy on two halves of the
body. The difference was in their body shape, plumage
and muscle structure. According to the doctors, this
might not only lead us to some interesting
discoveries about human health in the future, but can
also provide insight into how birds develop
