Hey everyone! I thought it might be a cool idea to share random, strange, or potentially useless facts that we know! That way we can educate the people of BTT.

Here's some that I got from a website that I think are just so cool:

*An adult lion's roar can be heard up to five miles away, and warns off intruders or reunites scattered members of the pride.

*The first ambulance service was established in Cincinnati in 1865.

*Reno, Nevada is west of Los Angeles, California.

*111,111,111 x 111,111,111 = 12,345,678,987,654,321

*No president of the United States was an only child.

*In the 1940s minimum wage was $.43 per hour

*Average life span of a major league baseball: 7 pitches. (That's just plain sad, considering they're all made of cow skins )

*Seven million cell phones are dropped in the toliet per year.

*Brushing your teeth with the water on wastes 5 gallons of water.

*All pet hamsters are descended from a single female wild golden hamster found with a litter of 12 young in Syria in 1930.

*It's illegal to slurp soup in New Jersey.

*Each king in a deck of playing cards represents a great king from history. Spades - King David; Clubs - Alexander the Great; Hearts - Charlemagne; and Diamonds - Julius Caesar.

*A desert snail can sleep for 3 years.

*Rats can't throw-up.

*The world's termites outweigh the world's humans 10 to 1.

*Sharks apparently are the only animals that never get sick. As far as is known, they are immune to every known disease including cancer.

Have fun! I think I'll be adding more later. Don't forget to add yours!
