A worker bee makes about 1/12 of a tablespoon of honey over its entire lifespan. A typical worker bee lives roughly 3 months, so a 12-oz jar of honey takes roughly 72 bee-years to make.

The movie "Back to the Future" was almost titled "Spaceman from Pluto". It is a reference to the scene where Marty scares his father into asking Lorraine out by claiming to be Darth Vader (the original script had him from Pluto rather than Vulcan.) The title change came at the request of Universal executive Sidney Sheinberg, who believed that the word "future" shouldn't be in a movie title. Spielberg laughed it off, assuming that Sheinberg was joking. (He wasn't.)

It is estimated that the internet is currently at least 500 exabytes (and growing all the time, of course.) To put this much data on 5 1/4" floppies you would need five stacks of disks, each long enough to reach Pluto.

There is actually a job here in Switzerland (and probably elsewhere) called the Money Doctor. Their job is to repair money that is damaged and put it back into circulation.

The job of the Money Doctor is so important and risky that those who are Money Doctors have to remain anonymous. I wonder what they tell people they do?!

Geraldine Doyle, aka Rosie the Riveter, quit after just two weeks on the job, despite being revered in America as a heroic icon of wartime (WWII) productiveness of women in factories at home.

There are no laws against driving with an open alcoholic container in 6 US States, as long as you're not over the legal blood-alcohol limit.

A BMW M3 is now 400 lbs heavier than an M5 was 20 years ago.

If cars continue to increase in weight at the rate they have been over the past 2 decades, the smallest compact will weigh as much as a Hummer H2 by the end of the century.

Just read a nice National Geographic article that reminded us that only 10% of the cells in our body are our own (the rest is bacteria), and that we're taking in a huge, heaping scoop of the stuff with every single breath. Laughing
