Lightning strikes the Earth 1,800 times at any moment.

There are more chickens in the world than people.

The hundred billionth Crayola crayon ever produced was Perriwinkle Blue.

After eating too much food, your hearing becomes less sharp.

The term "the whole 9 yards" came from WWII fighter pilots in the South
Pacific. When arming their airplanes on the ground, the .50 caliber

got "the whole 9 yards."
