Combination Post: Silly Saturday Facts Collection No. 47 + Wacky Border Sunday: Lake Constance

     Hello everybody and welcome back to another edition of Global History Hub! I'll be your host, Mr. Nations, your tour guide to this massive world we all call home! Today we'll be doing another combination post because I, unfortunately, forgot to post yesterday. Well, what are we waiting for? Let's dive straight into it!

     Silly Saturday:

  • The inventor of the television did not allow his own children to watch television.
  • British Top Gear is the most-watched television show ever, with an estimated 350 million viewers weekly in 170 countries.
  • Queen Elizabeth II has her own YouTube channel.
     Wacky Border Sunday: 

     

     The borders of Austria, Germany, and Switzerland all meet at this small lake, only to dissolve once they reach the water. This has caused many small, local disputes over fishing rights and boat licensing.
