So is the word a, which could be considered shorter than 'I' when you consider the vertical height of the letter.
When in single quotes, 'I' can look like a broken capital T. It can resemble other things.
The small marks you sometimes find terminating the ends of lines making up a typographic character are called serifs.
Serifs are not to be confused with high-order angels, no matter how many of them are dancing on the end of a pin.

During one of the early Godzilla shoots, the suit actor's appendix burst. They didn't have the space for him to lie down, so they operated where he stood. He was also immune to the local anesthetic, so he felt it all. Toho didn't really have time for him to be sent home, rest up for a few weeks, etc. They gave him 15 minutes after he was sewn up before restarting the film.
So, What's that about Godzilla being pansy and obnoxious?

The plastic tips on the ends of shoelaces are called "aglets". One aglet, two aglets. They're meant to prevent fraying.
Dolphins cannot discern hunger from thirst. If presented with a hose of fresh water, rather than salt water, they'll drink readily, then refuse to eat for days. This is because they get all the moisture they need from absorption or the fatty tissues of fish they eat.
In medieval times, it was more common to drink beer than water. This is because water tended to be tainted, while the alcohol in beer would kill the gribblies floating about in it, making it safer for consumption.
Pirates wore eyepatches to help combat the differences in lighting between abovedecks and belowdecks. They'd simply swap the eye the patch covered, and be prepared for the change.
Damascus, or Wootz steel, was a mystery for centuries, the secret to its creation lost for a very long time. It demonstrated the ability to stay sharp while cutting due to the odd placement of carbon within the steel during its unique forging process, allowing bits to flake off while cutting on a microscopic level, meaning that while it would cut as clean as a straight edge, it was as effective as a serrated edge. In addition, it didn't rust or tarnish easily. Only recently have we rediscovered the methods of creating it, but people still refer to a blade forged from shaped wire as "damascus steel" due to the unique pattern reminiscent of the patterns in true wootz.
In Kirby's Dreamland 2 for the Nintendo Game Boy, a section of a level would have Kirby falling down and either attacking or avoiding enemies, and sucking up blocks to continue. when looking at a zoomed-out version of this map, you can clearly see that the blocks form a crude rendition of a naked woman's body.
There is a man who had contracted a very rare form of cancer that affected his right eyeball. After intensive surgery and therapy, he's healed perfectly, with the exception of an empty eye socket and a hole underneath it between his cheekbone and the muscles of his cheek. Normally, he wears a prosthetic--but he's made a killing in Hollywood, because he's already set up for some makeup to make him a super-convincing zombie that's lost an eye! Talk about making the best of a situation.
