Let's play a little game here. There are a lot of interesting little facts floating around out there, for instance, did you know that people use their left hand 58% more than their right hand when typing?
So look up a fun fact or two and post them here and we can fill more people with useless knowledge.
I will start with:
Did you know that the first person who owned the Marlboro cigarette company died of lung cancer?
Ok, now it's your turn.

Wow, how ironic - and many more to follow with "cancer" - sad to say. My boyfriend has smoked all his life. Great subject and I look forward to reading the neat contributions

There are 118 ridges around the edge of a Roosevelt dime, 119 ridges around the edge of a quarter, 150 ridges around the edge of a Kennedy half dollar, & 133 ridges around the edge of a Susan B Anthony dollar. The edges of the penney & nickel are smooth. The edge of the Sacagawea & Presidential dollar are smooth with writing, that includes year, mint mark & E PLURIBIS UMUM / IN GOD WE TRUST.

The little lump of flesh just forward of your ear canal, right next to your temple, is called a tragus.

If a statue in the park of a person on a horse has both front legs in the air, the person died in battle;
If the horse has one front leg in the air, the person died as a result of wounds received in battle;
If the horse has all four legs on the ground, the person died of natural causes.
