More fun, weird facts:
In the 1960’s, the CIA tried using cats as spies by fitting
them with tiny microphones and sending them where they might record sensitive
conversations. They gave up when they realized cats don’t care what you want.
Germany has almost twice as many castles as the US has
McDonalds.
The mantis shrimp can throw punches up to 50 mph; enough to
break a glass enclosure. There’s a mantis shrimp at our local aquarium. I try
not to annoy him.
Twice monthly, the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky
International Airport brings in miniature ponies to calm nervous fliers. I
should find out when to book a layover there.
There are more fake flamingoes in the world than real ones.
The electric chair was invented by a dentist. I remember
this every time I get my teeth cleaned.
From 1912 to 1948, competitive arts were part of the Olympic
games. Artists could earn medals for painting, architecture, sculpting, and
music.
