It Just Keeps Coming
It's Saturday, and although last Saturday was the last time I posted, I just keep being overwhelmed on how much trivia is out there. No wonder Jeopardy and Win Ben Stein's Money had so much material.
>> The tip of a 1/3-inch long hour hand on a wristwatch travels at 0.00000275 miles per hour.
>> A man's beard contains between 7,000 and 15,000 hairs.
>> The number of cars on the planet is increasing 3 times faster than the population growth.
>> About 17% of humans are left-handed. The same is true of chimpanzees and gorillas.
>> Banging your head against a wall uses 150 calories an hour.
>> No president of the United States was an only child.
>> $26 billion in ransom has been paid out in the U.S. in the past 20 years.
>> You use more calories eating celery than there are in the celery itself.
>> Termites eat through wood 2 times faster when listening to rock music.

How about those termites.
And I'm one of the "chosen" 17%. Left handers, that is.
I knew about the celery. I wonder how many calories the termites burn up?
How the heck does anyone get killed with a vending machine!!?? I mean, they have that famous little picture on them showing the danger! Sheesh!
And if you need a candy bar that badly you've got some issues to work out!
