Sh** I learned this week that I found fascinating.
1. Food Fact: Ketchup was sold in the 1830's as a medicine. (....ewwwww....)
2. Nerd Fact: During World War 11, Metals were so scarce that Oscar statues were made out of plaster and wood. ("I'd like to thank the academy of carpenters"....)
3. Nerd Fact: Legendary Martial Artist Jim Kelly was also a professional tennis player on the USTA Senior Men's Circuit. (In his older years he was on the court..." busy lookin'good").
4. Sad fact: 40 percent of McDonald's profits come from the sales of Happy Meals. ( genius toy marketing )
5. Nerd fact: Bob Marley's album “Legend” stayed on the chart for 992 non-consecutive weeks. ( one love.....)
6. Nerd Fact: The Taoist philosophy holds that the universe operates within laws of balance and harmony, and that people must live within the rhythms of nature. ( Like Bruce said don't miss all the heavenly glory... people!!!"
7. Nerd Fact: The smallest crocodile is the dwarf crocodile (Osteolaemus tetraspis) from central Africa, which has a maximum 6.5 ft. It is more terrestrial than other crocodiles. (...I wish i didn't learn this...)
8. Nerd Fact: Crocodiles can live up to 80 years! (just a heads up friends…there very well might be some Crocodile info on every one of these lists. I am deathly afraid but completely fascinated by these dinosaurs!!)
