For unusual but connected reasons, I was reminded today that Mercury's day is twice as long as its year (yes, you read that right). Also, I learned that people used to operate camel-mounted guns (yes, guns on camels) and they were called zamburakchi.
Wikipedia: "The zamburak [camel-mounted gun] became a popular mode of warfare in the 18th century in Indian subcontinent."
You're welcome. 😉
