Well this is a bit creepy...

There are about 200 corpses on Mount Everest, and some serve as "landmarks". One of the most famous was known as Green Boots, since the guy was wearing green boots. Until 2014 his body was inside a cave at 27,900 feet that all expeditions from the north had to pass.

NASCAR drivers lose weight while racing.
Because of the high temperatures during a race, the average driver can lose up to 10 pounds worth of weight by sweating. Temperatures in the car often exceed 100 degrees, reaching as much as 170 degrees by the floorboards. Drivers can lose 5-10 pounds in sweat during a race. If a driver loses more than 3 percent of his body weight in sweat and doesn't replace those fluids, focus and reflexes start declining.

Aladdin is a supposed to be Chinese and the story is supposed to take place in China.

There is a caveat to this though, The tale is Arabic in origin, but they set it in "China", because when the tale was written China was a far-off exotic place.
A bit like a lot of Western stories might take place in "Darkest Africa", such a place does not really exist, and never existed, and authors at the time that used it probably either knew this, or had never actually visited the place.
It's an "exotic" place that exists only in stories, and often amalgamates multiple Africa countries into one, and anything they're unsure about, they just plaster over with their own culture.
For example in Aladdin there is a Sultan, not an Emperor and the princess is called Badr al-Badur, which is obviously not a very traditional Chinese name.

For example in the West they might say "from here to Timbuktu" meaning far away, and one of sayings in the Muslim world is "Seek knowledge even if you have to go as far as China".

Birds can't fart.
Farts are caused by a noticeable number of eruptions from intestinal gas. However, for a bird, their intestine is short which causes them to get rid of waste more frequently.

In Britain we have magnetic coins.

The 1pence, 2pence, 5pence and 10pence coins are magnetic and stick to magnets.

The reason for that is because the 1p and 2p coins used to be made out of copper and the 5p and 10p out of cupronickel (an alloy of copper and nickel with strengthening agents like iron and manganese) but when that became to expensive to use the Royal Mint changed to using copper plated steel for the 1p and 2p coins and cupronickel plated steel for the 5p and 10p coins.

The story of Beauty and the Beast was aimed to make women open to arranged marriages.
The original 1740 tale stated that the beast was an elephant-fish hybrid. The story mainly revolves around the idea of accepting arranged marriages for the sake of an alliance that was greater than them as a person.
