A tiny bit of the static you see on "dead" tv stations is leftover radiation from the Big Bang. You're seeing residual effects of the Universe's creation.
Old analog TV can pick up electromagnetic radiation produced from TV transmission towers and converts it to a picture. So Apart from the specific streams of radiation like TV signals the planet is surrounded in a fog of radiation as well - when you tune in between channels what you're seeing is the fog, as opposed to the stream.
Though 99% of the fog radiation the TV is picking up is man-made and 1% comes from the background radiation that surrounds everything in the universe.
Red rain once fell in India.
In July 25th, 2001 blood-red rain fell in the Kerala district of western India.
Turning all the citizens clothing pink. This also occurred in 1896, 1957, 2001, 2012.
It was originally thought that the rains were colored by fallout from a meteor burst, but a study done by the Government of India came to find that the rains had been colored by airborne spores from a local green alga.
Also in 2001, in the southern part of the state. Yellow, green, and black rain were also reported.
The shortest war in history lasted 38 minutes:
When the sultan of British-protected Zanzibar died and a new one took over without British approval in 1896, the Brits were not happy. Tension escalated when Sultan Khalid bin Barghash refused to step down, but the British warships spent less than 40 minutes bombarding the palace before Khalid fled, marking the (very quick) end of the Anglo-Zanzibar War.
