Former president Gerald Ford wasn't always gray-haired and paunchy
In his college days, he worked as a male model, and even appeared on the cover of Cosmopolitan.

Despite being nominated five times, Gandhi never won the Nobel Peace Prize.

Al Capone's WWI draft card stated his occupation as "paper cutter."

Leatherback sea turtles have fleshy backward-pointing spines in their throats so that jellyfish,
their favorite food, can be swallowed more easily.

There's only one State in the US that doesn't have a at least one straight line as a boarder.
(Do you know it?)

John Tyler, the 10th president, had the most children of any president: 15.

European carousels rotate clockwise, while American merry-go-rounds spin counterclockwise.

The melting temperature of bubble gum is 125 degrees Fahrenheit.

With a nurse and a calligrapher, Saddam Hussein had a copy of the Koran written using his own blood.

The male giraffe determines a female's fertility by tasting her urine.

The Hudson's Bay Company (now known as "The Bay" or "HBC") is the oldest commercial corporation in North America, having been incorporated on May 2nd, 1670, by British royal charter under King Charles II.

Ben Franklin wanted the Turkey to be America's national symbol on the great seal in 1782, not the bald eagle.

Signs such as those that state “Not Responsible for Your Car or Its Contents” carry no weight in court; they are posted simply to discourage people from pursuing any legal action.

"Q" is the only letter of the alphabet that does not appear in any of U.S. territory or state name.

The "G" in "G-Spot" stands for Gräfenberg, a German-born doctor who studied female sexual physiology.

The consistency of your ear wax is genetic.

The Gateway Arch in St. Louis is as wide at its base as it is tall (630 feet).

People didn't always say "hello" when they answered the phone. When the first regular phone service was established in 1878, people said "ahoy."

The Russian Revolution simmered for years, and suddenly erupted when the serfs finally realized that the Czar and the Tsar were the same person.

Even though it's been speculated that chewing it imparts magical tactical powers, Les Miles simply likes the taste of stadium grass.

In order to better survive the cold, polar bears have evolved to have black skin, thick blubber, and hollow, translucent hairs that trap heat. Polar bears are so well-insulated that they are almost invisible under infra-red light.

Istanbul, Turkey, is the only city in the world that lies in two continents.

During Pan-Am’s heyday in the 1960s, flight attendants had to be at least 5'2",
weigh no more than 130 pounds, and retire by age 32.

Deipnophobia is the fear of dinner party conversations.

About five percent of the entire U.S. potato crop goes to make McDonald’s French fries.

Why do angelfish feel safe inside the mouths of hammerhead sharks?
They share a symbiotic relationship as natural toothpicks,
picking out parasites from between the shark's teeth.

Ancient Greeks believed that wearing amethysts would help prevent a person from getting drunk.

Until last night my wife had no idea there were no polar bears in Alaska.

Penguins either.

I tried to trick my 7 yr old by asking her why polar bears don't eat penguins?
She quickly and correctly answered.

Yeah there are. They even have cages set up near buildings to hide in in case one attacks.
