Five Random Facts For Thursday

Here are some random facts for you.

 

1.  The guitar riff in “Sweet Child O’ Mine” started as a joke.  Slash played it while he was messing around during warm-ups, because he thought it sounded like a circus melody.

 

2.  The fastest growing city in America is The Villages in Florida, and yeah, it’s a retirement community.

 

3.  The NFL MVP in 1982 was a KICKER, Mark Moseley of the Washington Redskins.  He made 20 out of 21 field goals and the Redskins went on to win the Super Bowl.  No other kicker has ever been named MVP.   Weirdly enough, Moseley is now a big executive at Five Guys.

 

4.  Medium-rare hamburgers are illegal in Canada.  Restaurants have to cook their meat at 160 degrees Fahrenheit or more.  And to make a burger medium-rare, you can’t go over 145.

 

5.  The word “collision” is only supposed to be used when two moving objects hit each other.  When one moving object hits something standing still, that’s called an “allision.”
