quote:

The actor Michael Keaton’s real name is Michael Douglas.. He wasn’t able to use it when he became an actor, for obvious reasons.


Similarly, music legend Ray Charles was born Ray Charles Robinson. He opted to use his middle name instead of last name, professionally, because of Sugar Ray Robinson's fame in the 1950s.


Here is an "opposite" fact - most of us have heard our entire lives, "Days get shorter in the Winter, and longer in the Summer." Wrong. It's the opposite of that. The "longest" day of the year (meaning, the greatest amount of daylight hours, minutes and seconds in a 24-hour period) - is the first day of Summer. Therefore, every day of Summer is slightly "shorter" than the day before. And that is true until the first day of Winter - then the days start getting longer again.

Judging off of facebook I'd guess a large percentage of them are women taking selfies in their cars.

Eyeballs are the only part of you fully grown at birth. That’s why a baby’s eyeballs look so big and cute. I didn’t know that.

If you have three quarters, four dimes, and four pennies, you have $1.19, the largest amount of money in coins you could have without being able to make change for a dollar.

Pluto is usually farthest from the Sun. However, its orbit "crosses" inside of Neptune's orbit for 20 years out of every 248 years. Pluto last crossed inside Neptune's orbit on February 7, 1979, and temporarily became the 8th planet from the Sun.

Bears have been known to attack man, although the fact is that fewer people have been killed by bears than in all of world war 1 and 2 combined.

It is estimated that bears attack 2 million salmon a year. Attacks by salmon on bears are much more rare.

Monkeys make up over 80% of the world's monkey population

This is the first photograph of a president. A young Matthew Brady took the picture of an old John Quincy Adams in 1846.
