There are two types of people: those who love pineapples on pizza and those who believe it’s an abomination and representation of all things dark in this world. It‘s an age-old question that has divided the internet and turned friends into enemies, brothers against sisters and has been the subject of numerous virtual battles: does pineapple belong on pizza? On one side, there’s the argument that the sweet, tangy taste of the juicy pineapple balances out the savoury, punchy flavour of the cheese and ham. On the other end, many hold that the addition of the tropical fruit makes a mockery of an already-perfect Italian masterpiece. It's pizza, not a fruit salad!

Laila was known to spout the unknown. It had started when she was really little, where she found a silly TV program about training dogs. Her bright brown eyes would take in every minute of the show, absorbing the little facts that no one really regarded. Most people would watch it for the slight reality TV appeal, the drama and the eventual success about training a dog. But these little facts stuck to her, and she would tell everyone about them.

We’ve been telling stories for millennia. The first stories were told 40,000 years ago via primitive art--cave paintings akin to murals, which depicted short, ritualistic events, usually the hunt. Exciting stuff, no doubt, but what was its purpose? Was it meant solely to increase the heart rate of the intended viewing audience? Was it to bookmark our ancestors’ existence in a specific moment in time? Or was it to woo that cute Neanderthal girl you’ve had your one good eye on? At its core, storytelling is meant to entertain and educate, preserve tradition, history, and culture, all while instilling moral values and a sense of community.

No, the fact I am about to share with you was bestowed upon me from my history teacher on my last ever lesson with him and is the wonderful culmination of several decades of history all wrapping up into one incredible mind-blowing, if a little controversial, fact.
