O_O Seriously? I don't know much about the history of anime so I can't really dispute or agree with this, but if it is true then I will never look at anime the same again

I know bug facts:

1)There are almost no male ants. They only serve one purpose (to mate) & die when they're done. Ants build architecture, farm, raise livestock, & fight in wars. Ants from certain countries are the deadliest animal on the planet & are on the tippy-top of the food chain. You will never be as hardcore as an ant.

2)Male mosquitos do not drink blood. Mosquitoes primary food is actually nectar & sugar.

3)Flea eggs can sit around for years & still hatch. Some kinds of fleas can jump as high as 6 feet into the air.

Bagpipes, although identified with Scotland, are actually a very ancient instrument, introduced into the British Isles by the Romans.

They are very ancient, and I'm pretty sure they weren't made in Scotland. Where they were made, though, I have no idea.

Shakespeare invented the word assassination.

The word "assassin" is passed down from some other language, I can't remember which, so he didn't make up the word "assassin", but may have made up "assassination".

Comes from the dark ages-era assassin's gild "Hashshashin"
Think Assassin's creed but without the parts in the future (all of the people you killed in the game were actually targets of the guild).
