Have one? Share it here.
I just learned that 20% of the world's cargo ships are built far too large to take advantage of the Panama Canal. Bummer dudes! They're building new locks that are 3 times larger than the originals. Holy guacamole!

The average chocolate bar in the U.S. contains at least 8 pieces of an insect.
After cacao beans are harvested, they're left on the ground to ferment for around a week. During that time adults, children, rats and other animals walk all over them......some vermin even making their nests amongs the beans. YUK!

The U.S. Postal Service processes and delivers more than 212 billion pieces of mail per year. That would be:
700 million pieces per day 29 million pieces per hour 486,000 pieces per minute, and (are you ready?) 8,000 pieces per second.

Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia is the fear of long words.
Blue whales weigh as much as 30 elephants and are as long as 3 Greyhound buses. Most elephants weigh less than the tongue of the blue whale.
