One of the ships used in Pirates of the Caribbean was sunk by Hurricane Sandy!

At one point in her life, lack of maintenance caused the vessel to temporarily lose her United States Coast Guard license, but Bounty was restored. The vessel's bottom planking was restored at the Boothbay Harbor Shipyard in 2002.Bounty (popularly HMS Bounty) was an enlarged reconstruction of the original 1787 Royal Navy sailing ship HMS Bounty. Built in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia in 1960, she sank off the coast of North Carolina during Hurricane Sandy on 29 October 2012.

Moored in her winter home in St. Petersburg, Florida, she again became available for charter, excursions, sail-training, and movies including Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest and Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End.

This ship surely had a lot of action throughout it's life! May the ship rest in peace!

Rattlesnakes don’t use their fangs when they fight!

But if you do meet up with one, be careful! A rattlesnake can bite a victim even after it's head has been removed! Scientists say that it's a reflex action (a response that is built into it's nervous system and doesn't need to be learned).Rattlesnakes are amazing animals! While rattlesnakes have a bad reputation, in truth people and rattlesnakes don't often come in contact with one another so people aren't bitten very often.

Rattlesnake heads have been known to make their striking motions for up to one minute after decapitation.

Other interesting fact about rattlesnakes is that if they engage into a fight, they will not use their fangs to poison each other! This is mainly because they wouldn’t really cause harm to each other that way.
