A friend recently suggested I pick up a copy of a book entitled Who Knew. Well, I obviously didn't know or I would have already read it. By the by, if I can't get a book on Kindle through Amazon, I buy them used. My sister would say "go to the library". But I bought this book for $3 and change including shipping. So, there ya go. The sub-title of the book is: Things You Didn't Know About Things You Know Well by David Hoffman .

Banks are commonly shaped like pigs because in the eighteenth century frugal people saved their money in earthenware jars made of dense orange clay known as pygg. Today banks are viewed as pigs...
In Pulp Fiction, the word f**k is used 257 times. Just a typical day on the golf course folks...
For you dog lovers out there that do not pick up your pooch's poop: Each instance of dog poop that goes unscooped attracts approx. 144 flies! Oh Oh yuck!
Seinfeld wasn't Jerry Seinfeld's first sitcom. He played the govenor's speechwriter on Benson, but was fired after three episodes. Why didn't he just show up the next day and pretend that he hadn't been fired?
On average, we forget 80% of what we learn on any given day. Is that before or after menapause?
