Here are some random facts for you.
1. California has the most billionaires of any U.S. state with 124. New York is second with 93, followed by Texas (48) and Florida (44).
There are eight states with ZERO billionaires: Alabama, Alaska, Delaware, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Dakota, Vermont, and West Virginia.
2. Ireland won its first Olympic medals in 1924, a silver in the PAINTING competition and a bronze in LITERATURE. Obviously both of those competitions aren’t part of the Olympics anymore.
3. The sounds from crunchy foods are comparable to tiny sonic booms, because the food is breaking up at the speed of sound.
4. The USPS made stamps with the Statue of Liberty in 2011. But the picture they used was of the Statue of Liberty outside New York, New York Casino in Las Vegas.
It’s not clear if it was an accident, or they just used it because it was a better photo. But in any event, because they used the REPLICA “Lady Liberty,” they had to shell out $3.5 million for copyright infringement.
5. Katy Perry’s mother once dated Jimi Hendrix.
