Hello my Watchmen and Carla Guginos,
This is blog #8 in the Factstravaganza, I've simply been preparing future blogs and lagging behind with procrastination nipping at my heels when it comes to posting a fresh pretty blog.
..................................................and.............................we......................are..................off:
1.) English crime fiction writer Agatha Christie wore size 44 (EU) shoes. That converts to a U.K. size 9.5/U.S. size 12.
2.) Each year, more divers are injured by giant clams than by sharks.
3.) In 1982, a gorilla in a Syrian zoo held a zookeeper captive for eight days. The victim, who was not physically harmed, developed Stockholm syndrome.
4.) Fred Rogers, better known as Mister Rogers, wore sweaters to conceal extensive forearm tattoos commemorating his short stint as a Merchant Marine. (oooo, oooo the professor who told me this LIED TO ME! Mr. Rogers was never in the Army *and* he had no tattoos...damned LIARS)
5.) When resources are plentiful, army ants capture members of smaller ant species and keep them as pets.
6.) One of the eyewitnesses of the 1908 Tunguska Event reported hearing three loud, sustained musical tones of unknown origin just prior to the explosion.
7.) Nazi Germany's first working prototype Horton Ho 229 flying wing aircraft crashed during a test flight when it flew through a swarm of locusts.
8.) Classic pinup model Bettie Page spoke fluent Swahili.
9.) During WWII, the Japanese stationed three spies in a self-contained submersible listening post on the ocean floor two miles off Los Angeles.
10.) In 1930, President Herbert Hoover nearly suffocated when he became locked inside an airtight vault while touring Fort Knox.
this concludes today's random bits of trivial knowledge.
