Things I did not know (and every American should):

     1. The citrus soda 7-UP was created in 1929; "7" was selected because the original containers were 7 ounces. "UP" indicated the direction of the bubbles.

     2. Mosquito repellents don't repel. They hide you. The spray blocks the mosquito's sensors so they don't know you're there.

     3. Dentists have recommended that a toothbrush be kept at least 6 feet away from a toilet to avoid airborne particles resulting from the flush. (Is this true, Lou?)

     15. Venus is the only planet that rotates clockwise.

     16. The first CD pressed in the US was Bruce Springsteen's "Born in the USA."

     17. Apples, not caffeine, are more efficient at waking you up in the morning.

     18. The 57 on the Heinz ketchup bottle represents the number of varieties of pickles the company once had.

     19. The plastic things on the end of shoelaces are called aglets.

     20. Most dust particles in your house are made from dead skin.

     36. Average life span of a major league baseball: seven pitches.

     37. A duck's quack doesn't echo and no one knows why.

     38. The reason firehouses have circular stairways is from the days when the engines were pulled by horses. The horses were stabled on the ground floor and figured out how to walk up straight
staircases.

     39. Richard Milhouse Nixon was the first US president whose name contains all the letters from the word "criminal."

     40. The second? William Jefferson Clinton.
