Well, I posted some little-known facts a while ago, so this is Version 2.
Apples, not caffeine, are more efficient at waking you up in the morning. Alfred Hitchcock didn't have a bellybutton. A pack-a-day smoker will lose approximately 2 teeth every 10 yrs. People Do Not get sick from cold weather; it's from being indoors a lot more. When you sneeze, all bodily functions stop ... even your heart! Only 7% of the population are lefties. 40 people are sent to the hospital for dog bites every minute. Babies are born without knee caps They don't appear until they are 2-6 years old. The average person over fifty will have spent 5 years waiting in lines. The toothbrush was invented in 1498. The average housefly lives for one month. 40,000 Americans are injured by toilets each year. A coat hanger is 44 inches long when straightened. The average computer user blinks 7 times a minute. Every time you lick a stamp, you're consuming 1/10 of a calorie. A 'jiffy' is an actual unit of time for 1/100th of a second. The average person falls asleep in seven minutes. A pregnant goldfish is called a twit. The male gypsy moth can "smell" the virgin female gypsy moth from 1.8 miles away. In England, the Speaker of the House is not allowed to speak. 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." The microwave was invented after a researcher walked by a radar tube and a chocolate bar melted in his pocket. Mr. Rogers is an ordained minister. Studies show that if a cat falls off the seventh floor of a building it has about thirty percent less chance of surviving than a cat that falls off the twentieth floor. It supposedly takes about eight floors for the cat to realize what is occurring, relax and correct itself. The name Wendy was made up for the book "Peter Pan." Bank robber John Dillinger played professional baseball. Only one person in two billion will live to be 116 or older. Mel Blanc (the voice of Bugs Bunny) was allergic to carrots. Eh...if you have one, post em.
