Here are some random facts for you.
1. The world’s largest island in a freshwater lake is Manitoulin, on Lake Huron. It’s over 1,000 square miles, large enough to have over 100 lakes itself. (It’s part of the Canadian province of Ontario.)
2. MySpace had the opportunity to buy Facebook for $75 million back in 2005, but they passed. Now, 20 years later, Facebook is worth around $1.5 TRILLION.
Believe it or not, MySpace still exists, but it’s basically a mess of broken links to images and songs. It might still be worth a few million to the right buyer.
3. There are 14 U.S. states that are split into two time zones: Alaska, Florida, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Nebraska, Nevada, North Dakota, South Dakota, Oregon, Tennessee, and Texas.
4. All octopuses are orphans. Male octopuses die right after they mate, and female octopuses die right after their eggs hatch.
5. Alec Guinness didn’t like being in “Star Wars”, so he suggested to George Lucas that he should kill off the Obi-Wan Kenobi character to get him out of it. But, he also made a FORTUNE from the movies, because in his contract, he’d negotiated to get 2.25% of George’s royalties.
