Interesting, but Irrelevant Facts, For Friday

# Rubber bands last longer when refrigerated

# Peanuts are one of the ingredients of dynamite

# There are 293 ways to make change for a dollar

# There are more chickens than people in the world

# Almonds are a member of the peach family

# There are only four words in the English language which end in “dous”: tremendous, horrendous, stupendous, and hazardous.

# Al Capone’s card said he was a used furniture dealer

# An ostrich’s eye is bigger than its brain.

# A goldfish has a memory span of three seconds

# A dime has 118 ridges around the edge

# The name for OZ in the “Wizard of OZ” was thought up when the creator, Frank Baum, looked at his filing cabinet and saw A-N, and O-Z, hence “OZ”

# A cat has 32 muscles in each ear

I found this trivia here.
