Bruce Springsteen's Born In The USA album was the first compact disc to be pressed in the United States.
Bananas contain a natural chemical which can make a person happy. This same chemical is also found in Prozac. Personally, I have also found that banana shaped objects can make me and Las Palmas escorts happy. Well, the money that men will pay to have have their bananas played with make us happy. And us playing with their bananas means that they do not need Prozac.
Cancer claims forty victims an hour in America. But that it rather a meaningless statistic, as if people do not die of cancer then they will die of something else. Unless the Transhumanists are right and we all get to be immortal at some point.

At the deepest point of the ocean, it would take an iron ball more than an hour to sink to the the bottom. And it would probably pass James Cameron in one of his new submarines on the way down.
A polar bears skin is black. Its fur is actually clear, but like snow it appears white. Weird, but there you go.
A hedgehogs heart beats at an average of three hundred times a minute. Obviously a lot less when they are hibernating!
Arabic numerals are not really Arabic. They were created in India. And I still think that the greatest creation in human history was the figure zero.

A finger print is also known as a dactylogram. The surprising thing is that having seen every episode of CSI Las Vegas – the ones with Lady Heather in about twenty times each – I have never heard that term. Not even from Grissom.
Edible beetles taste like apples. Wasps taste like pine nuts. Worms taste like fried bacon. And I taste like heaven.
California consumes more bottled water than any other product.
A pound of houseflies contains more protein than a pound of beef. But it is a whole lot more crunchy.
