I was browsing the internet and discovered the below information. There were tons of them but I only picked a few to share with you. * An octopus has 3 hearts. * Hitler was nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize. * Lobsters use their feet to taste. * There is a building that has it's own zip code. It's the Empire State Building. * Fancy bike riding such as taking your feet off the pedals and riding without hands is illegal in Illinois. These were fun to read and there many, many more. Did you know any of them?

Hitler was nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize in 1939 and the nomination was a JOKE and immediately cancelled. That year no Noble Prize was awarded.

@wilsongoddard Thank you, I know he received the Prize for his work in exposing the clandestine German re-armament.

@simone10 In fact it did not happened, it was a joke to propose him for the Nobel, it was not something intended to be serious. Let's say it's just like someone would propose Charles Manson for the Peace Prize.

I still think it's pretty crazy that it happened at all.

Those are fun facts. Strangely enough I was aware of the first fact.

I knew the octopus has three hearts. I also knew the Empire State Building has its own zip code. I think the bike one is stupid. I wonder whose brainchild that was. I'm glad Hitler didn't get a peace prize. Interesting about lobsters. I wonder how they found that out.

You've made some very good points. How would they they have found out about the lobsters feet? I used to do some of that fancy bike riding as a kid.

@simone10 I did not know any of the information you shared with us. I would never give Hitler anything. He was very very evil and too bad he killed himself if that was the case because he should have been hung along with Eichmann. How Hitler treated my people was horrible. We are human beings and deserve to live and he destroyed families and babies and little children.

@simone10 To me it does not matter whether it was a joke or not because to me it is in poor taste to even say it.

I've heard something weird like an elephant can step on an egg and it won't break. That's out of the question for me.

I read an interesting one today. There is a ride at Disney’s Epcot theme park called Test Track. At the end of the ride, your “car” goes out on a test track and reaches a top speed of 67-69 mph. Disney imagineers wanted the ride to top out at 95 mph, but the legal speed limit in Florida for cars is 70 mph. So even though it’s just a ride, the state would not approve the “cars” to go faster than the legal speed limit.

No, at least I did not know and wouldn't appreciate Hitler's Noble Peace Prize at all for a concentration camp and lobsters use their front feelers ,which looks like foot to taste. I had read this in my graduation.
