The Facts Speak for Themselves


In a world of uncertainty and impending chaos, sometimes the Facts of Life are all we have left to hold on to.

  • Elephants sneeze through their mouths, not their trunks.

  • The first customer of the Federal Witness Protection Program was none other than notorious gangster Al Capone.

  • The word darling is a variant of the Arabic darjeeling, a term of endearment that literally means, "the foreskin of a camel."

  • FRED AND GINGER: Produced in the strict Hayes Code era, Singing in the Rain was the first Hollywood musical with no dance numbers. Hence the name!

  • What do they call Venetian blinds in Venice? They call them "Persian blinds."

  • HORSE SENSE: Racehorse jockeys are the only athletes allowed to bet against themselves.

  • Rhode Island has the largest population per capita of any state on the Eastern Seaboard.

  • EVERY WONDER WHAT R&B STANDS FOR? Have you ever seen popular singer Aaron Neville of the Neville Brothers and wondered what that big thing on his face was? It's a goiter.
