There is a village in Austria named Fucking

(Fucking, Austria) 
 Population 104
The Austrian census of 2001 recorded that the village had a population of 93. The Age reported in 2005 that it had 104 people and 32 houses.

Fucking's most famous feature is four traffic signs with its name on them, beside which tourists stop to have their photograph taken, owing to the identical spelling to the present English-language profanity fuck!

Carrots used to be purple, not orange.



Purple carrots have extra antioxidant power because of their unique anthocyanins, as well as extra beta-carotenes. Anthocyanins are special color pigments that double as pretty powerful antioxidants. Antioxidants are common in many of the red, blue, and purple produce and work to combat free radicals. Free radicals damage our body’s cells and we intake them in many ways, including ingesting deep fried foods. The extra antioxidants in purple carrots are great for the prevention of blood clotting and, therefore, also heart diseases. They are anti-inflammatory agents as well as anti-bacterial.
