True if you go southwest through Mexico.

On a related note, Atlanta is almost exactly half way between Miami and Chicago (Miami is closer by about 30 miles or so).

The average American woman today weighs what the average American man in the 1960's weighed, 166 pounds.

American men now average 195 pounds and a waist of 39.7 inches, and weigh 33 pounds more than Frenchmen, 40 pounds more than Japanese men, and 70 pounds more than Bangladesh men.

Mozart wrote 50 symphonies (at least), and Haydn wrote 106.

Beethoven only wrote 9, and there was a ten year gap between the 8th and 9th Symphonies.

During that time period between writing the 8th and the 9th, he went almost completely deaf, sank into alcoholism, caused his nephew to attempt suicide, and still composed one of the most amazing works ever created.

P-38 is the designation for a fighter plane, a pistol, and a can-opener.

Chesty Puller and George Patton were distant cousins.

Former F1 driver Johnny Dumfries is a member of the House of Lords. He is the Earl of Dumfries.

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.
