    Hi, I’m a writer here at Bored Panda. When I’m not writing, you can find me reading books, binge-watching TV shows, making pottery and jewelry, or cooking. I love good food and good company. I also love my dog and cat who bring me so much joy every day.

    Magellan didn't circumnavigate the globe, he died in what is now the Philippines, still two oceans away from completing one lap.

    I wondered if his body made it around, but ... nope ... he was buried there. Other people on his ship did make it around, but I guess they don't get any credit?

    Definitely a debate about the phone - one of many stolen patents.

    Lots of arguments for sure, but Alexander Graham Bell definitely invented a telephone (was the the first? Did he nick the work of others? 🤷) Magellen just as definitely didn't circumnavigate the world, on account of having died part way round.

    Limiting a kings power by law has been common since ancient times, and predates the Magna Carta by at least a millennia. It is well documented that judges and the law limited power to kings in ancient Israel, and there is strong evidence that similar restrictions were used in other powers in the region - and that's only one tiny region of the globe.
