The first couple to be shown in bed together on prime time tv in the USA were Fred and Wilma Flintstone, Yabadabbadoo!

Every day more money is printed for the game Monoploy than for the US Treasury. The way we're going it might soon be worth more....!

Coca Cola was originally green. Yuk!

It is impossible to lick your elbow.

The US State with the highest percentage of people who walk to work is.... Alaska

The first novel ever written on a typewriter was Tom Sawyer.

75% of people who read this will try to lick their elbow.

There are some people who can lick their elbow so it is not impossible their are people who can twist their body like pretzels who are tripled jointed and they would be able to lick their elbow.

Fred and Wilma bunked together starting in 1960 Mary Kay and Johnny started 1947. Interesting fact.

I'm glad to have started a controversy, I love a good fight. Go Fred. Go Wilma!

.......and of course an odd statistic is that 68% of statistics quoted are made up on the spot.

Was it Mark Twain who said "there are lies, damn lies and statistics"

Although statistics did prove that exactly 50% of the people married in Australia in 1872 were female, not sure what the other 50% were as the statistics didn't report on that.

Well, they were a rum bunch, the early Australian colonists....

Some very interesting facts here. Didn't know this information especially that coca cola was originally green. And I guess I'm not one of the 75%, I didn't try to lick my elbow.

Better get my monopoly money out! Got several incomplete games of it, but I'm sure the money is still intact. Green Coca Cola! You'd expect it to taste like lime. Interesting that Alaska has the great number of people walking to work, you'd think being frozen most of the year they'd use snow skis. Will have to remember that one about Tom Sawyer when I start my literature studies.

And no, I will not try and lick my elbow!
