More Interesting (and possibly useless) facts:
For many years, the globe on the NBC Nightly News spun in the wrong direction. On January 2, 1984, NBC finally set the world spinning back in the proper direction.
In the Disney movie Aladdin, when Aladdin is talking to Jasmine right before taking her on a carpet ride, Rajah attacks him. Aladdin says, 'Get back, kitty' or something like that. Then he whispers to Jasmine telling her to take off her clothes.
In the original "Star Wars: A New Hope", Mark Hamill, who played Luke Skywalker, called out the name of actress Carrie Fisher, who played Princess Leia, instead of actually calling out "Leia" in the scene near the end where he gets out of his X-wing after destroying the Death Star. The error was never caught.
Jean-Claude Van Damme was the alien in the original PREDATOR in almost all the jumping and climbing scenes.
Ethernet is a registered trademark of Xerox, Unix is a registered trademark of AT&T.
Hot water is heavier than cold.
Every human spent about half an hour as a single cell.
Sound travels 15 times faster through steel than through the air.
The radioactive substance, Americanium - 241 is used in many smoke detectors.
A dog was killed by a meteor at Nakhla, Egypt, in 1911. The unlucky canine is the only creature known to have been killed by a meteor.
In 1980, Namco released PAC-MAN, the most popular video game (or arcade game) of all time. The original name was going to be PUCK MAN, but executives saw the potential for vandals to scratch out part of the P in the games marquee and labeling.
If you stand in the bottom of a well, you would be able to see the stars even in the daytime.
STASI, the East German secret police organization, devised a devilishly clever way to prevent someone from giving them the slip during the Cold War: they managed to synthesize the scent of a female dog in heat, which they applied to the shoes of the person under surveillance. Then they simply had a male dog follow the scent.
The proper name of earth's satellite is Luna. The grammar books say that "moon" (and likewise "earth" and "sun") should be lower case, with the exception of when "earth" is in a list with other planets. The earth is Terra; the sun is Sol. This is where we get the words "extraTERREstrial" and "SOLar".
Men have more blood than women. Men have 1.5 gallons for men versus 0.875 gallons for women.
In 1977, a 13 year old child found a tooth growing out of his left foot.
