Here are some random facts for you.
1. Peru is the only country whose English-language name can be typed on a single row of a standard QWERTY keyboard.
2. “The Great Gatsby” was not a successful novel when it came out, and F. Scott Fitzgerald only earned $2,000 from the book. That’s around $37,000 in today’s money.
3. Bono’s mother died when he was 14, she had a brain aneurysm at her father’s funeral. So yeah, his mom died at his grandpa’s funeral. That’s awful.
4. In movies like “Selma” about Martin Luther King Jr., none of the speeches featured are real, because Steven Spielberg owns the movie rights to his life story and all of his actual speeches. The rights were purchased in 2009, and Spielberg apparently still has them, even though his MLK movie never got made.
5. “Pac-Man” made $6 billion in revenue as an arcade game, which is around $19.5 billion if you adjust for inflation. That makes it the highest-grossing arcade game of all time, just ahead of “Space Invaders” and “Street Fighter 2”.
