A lot of my wasted brain capacity is actually from Star Trek!

First interracial kiss shown on television: Kirk and Uhura (though they were being "forced" by alien mind control).

Not just Star Trek though...

First married couple shown to actually sleep in the same bed: Brady Bunch people like to claim it was Mike and Carol Brady...but it was actually Herman and Lily Muster on The Munsters. (Mike and Carol still win for being the first Humans!  ;) )

Glass flows...very, very slowly.

Measurements of OLD glass (like found in the stained glass windows some very old European churches) are actually a little bit thicker near the bottom, and thinner near the top.


I saw a show recently that disproved this. They stated that the glass was made thicker at the bottom originally, though I can't remember why.
