1. Approximately 40,000 Americans are injured by toilets every year (apparently America has ever more idiots than I previously thought).
2. Each month, there is at least one report of UFOs from each province (I guess Canada is a better tourist attraction for extraterrestrials).
3. You can be fined up to $1,000 for WHISTLING on Sunday in Salt Lake City, Utah (this only makes me wonder what happened in order to cause this particular law).
4. It takes about 142.18 licks to reach the center of a Tootsie Pop (who would bother to count this, and how did they get the .18?!).
5. The serial number of the first MAC ever produced was 2001 (now this really is a useless fact).
6. All fifty states are listed across the top of the Lincoln Memorial on the back of the $5 bill (who can actually see this to read it?!).
7. In space, astronauts are unable to cry because there is no gravity, and the tears won't flow (I guess that's why they won't send your stereotypical teenage girl).
8. Chewing gum while peeling onions will keep you from crying (this is actually useful...not sure why I added it).
9. There are more plastic flamingos in the U.S. than there are real ones (this is actually creepy).
10. During its lifetime, an oyster will change its sex from male to female and back several times (pretty cool, oysters).
11. Daniel Boone hated coonskin caps (but, he looked soooo good with them in the movies).
12. More people speak English in China than they do in the U.S. (that's just pathetic).
13. All swans in England are the property of the Queen (so if I brought my own personal swan to England, does it automatically become hers forever?).
14. The town of Calma, Chile, located in the Atacama Desert, has never had rain (that is one super dry city).
15. Cleveland spelled backwards is DNA level C (interesting...).
16. Winston Churchill was born in a ladies' room during a dance (interesting place to be born).
17. A normal raindrop falls at about seven miles per hour (that's faster than what you think).
18. The average person falls asleep in seven minutes (I must not be average since it takes me at least thirty minutes).
19. There are 336 dimples on a regulation gold ball (seriously, who has the time to count all of this stuff?!).
20. "Stewardesses" is the longest word that is typed with only the left hand (but what about the right hand?!)
21. The "pound" key on your keyboard (#) is called an octotroph (why?!).
22. The only domestic animal not mentioned in the Bible is the cat (but cats are sooooo cute).
23. During his entire life, Vincent Van Gogh sold exactly one painting, "Red Vineyard at Arles" (that's more than I've ever sold).
24. There are no clocks in Las Vegas gambling casinos (guess it's so you lose track of time and gamble away more money).
25. On a Canadian two-dollar bill, the American flag is flying over the Parliament Building (makes sense).
