Davis Devan

A three-wheeler that looks more like a boat on wheels than a conventional automobile, 13 of these absolutely unique cars were produced. The two-door design incorporates a 4-cylinder 60PS engine.

BMW Isetta:

Between 1956 and 1962, German car manufacturer BMW produced the Isetta, based on an Italian design created by a refrigerator manufacturing company. This miniscule single-seater boasted a fridge-type outward opening front end, so the car had to be literally entered through the front! This car came in multiple variations across this six-year period, including 3- and 4-wheeler variants, and sold a whopping 161,360 units.

Peel P-50

Another design sporting three wheels, the Peel P-50 has the exclusive distinction of being the world's smallest production car. Equipped with a DKW 49cc 4.2PS engine, this car barely accommodates a single person, and doesn't even have a reverse gear

Stout Scarab

Left of field designs though aren't unique to small cars as the Stout Scarab clearly illustrates. Created at the Stout Motor Company in the US in the 1930s, this vehicle is cited as the first ever mass produced MINI van in the world

Citroen 2 CV Cogolin

Named after the French city where it was utilised, this absolutely astounding piece of engineering was the brainchild of a French fireman. It is said that looks can be deceptive, but in this instance that doesn't hold true as the Cogolin is indeed the front ends of two Citroen 2 CVs welded through the middle, and yes, the car can be driven as normal in either direction.

01. 4 Billion Videos are Watched Every Day

That's right, 4 billion. That includes everything the over 800 million
different users YouTube enjoys every month, not to mention the astonishing
3 billion hours of video that are added every month.

02. Originally was Slated for Online Dating

The creators of the tube originally wanted to make a dating site called
"Tune In Ho0k Up", which was to be heavily influenced by the site Hot0rNot.
After testing the waters, there was a consensus that this was not the way to go.

03. The First Video is About Elephants...or Something

The first video put up on face book was entitled Me at the zoo , and
was footage of YouTube co-founder Jawed Karim discussing elephant
trunks while visiting the San Diego Zoo. This riveting short film has
wracked up over 9 million views at this point.

04. It's Not UTUBE

Universal Tube & Rollform got the worst of this one. Initially people
were attempting to type the address phonetically, which caused mass
confusion for customers of both companies. After a lawsuit by the U
was thrown out, they changed their address to Utubeonline, and Utube
is now a redirecting page for people who suffer this folly.

05. Thank You Janet Jackson

For those of us that remember the great boobgate scandal of Super Bowl XXXVIII, this event served as a launching point for the site. When Karim
was unable to find footage of the previously mentioned Jackson's nipple, it inspired him to help create the site we use to today.

06. 92 Billion Page Views Per Month

That's with an average user visiting the site 14 times a month, and
staying around 25 minutes per visit. Now that's not enough as some
other social networking site, but it's still a pretty nice chunk of time
in your life you'll never get back.

07. Three Homies

Chad Hurley, Steve Chen, and Jawed Karim all were buds from their
old job, you know, that little thing called PayPal. When that got bought
out by those fat cats over at Ebay, all the boys got bonuses. Sure, they
could have gone to Cabo, but that's so 1998, and this was 2005! So that
cash went into the conception of the YouTube.

08. Across the Pond

Nearly 70% of YouTube's traffic comes from outside the good old USA.
In fact the site is localized in 36 countries, across 54 different languages.
Who did you think was posting all those soccer videos?

09. It's Got Definition

Although only 10% of the sites videos are broadcast in HD, that's
more than any other on the net. This includes thousands of full length
films and television programs.

10. Advertising Pays the Bills

With ad space for over 10,000 companies including Disney, Turner,
and Univision, they've got the department covered. Not to mention
the nearly 3 billion video views per week the site is monetizing.
