Unusual Piece of Trivia

I just read an interesting article on why clocks and watches are normally originally set to 10:10.

Why that is the blinking 12:00. Can't see the aesthetics playing a factor with them.

Also, I have been told the link has some pretty cool alternate downer endings to some famous movies that may be worth a read two. However, is a little more unusual trivia that may be a little more interesting:

Why are the windows in new cars (and trucks) always blackened? To make the car look better.

And in most movie shots, the streets are always wet even though the movie shows it hasn't been raining. To mask the oil deposits.
