Author Topic: Random Facts  (Read 874 times)

Heres a random list of facts I'm making up.
This project started today when I talked to my friend and said "Lets make a random facs list!"

Heres what we got in 10 minutes of internet and books

#1- Bagels were invented in the 1500s in Poland.
#2- You drive in a parkway and park in a driveway
#3- Women blink twice as much as men
#4- Billboard advertising is banned in Alaska
#5- Play Doh was used to clean wallpaper once
#6- Back to the Future was almost a Disney film. However, due to the "inappropriate" scene with Marty and his mom kissing in the car, they thought it was "too extreme" so they wouldn't take it.
#7- Obama was against SOPA but signed ACTA
#8- The atomic mass of potassium is 1.9
#9- Smith is the most common U.S name





Need more to fill the list to 100+!

Edit: I only accept random facts I can find on the internet
