Here are some random facts for you.
1. Light bulbs in the New York City subway and other train systems have left-hand screws. The backwards design is to prevent people from stealing bulbs for use at home. (Ohhh, is THAT why they hang the toilet paper rolls the wrong way at work?)
2. Eleanor Roosevelt refused to let a Secret Service member travel with her when she was First Lady, she just carried a pistol.
3. The guy who invented cotton candy was a dentist from Tennessee.
4. The best-selling video game in history is now “Minecraft” with roughly 300 million copies sold. The only other game to sell more than 100 million is “Grand Theft Auto 5” at 205 million.
5. Until the 1940s, baby boys were dressed in pink and baby girls were dressed in blue. Pink was for boys because it was considered a STRONGER color, blue was for girls because it was considered more delicate and dainty.
