Five Fun Facts for Wednesday, June 3rd, 2020:
1. Why does "Canadian tuxedo" describe wearing jeans with a jean jacket? In 1951, Bing Crosby wasn't allowed in a hotel in Canada because he was wearing a "double denim" look, so Levi's made him a denim tuxedo as a publicity stunt.
2. When Disneyland opened, it had a lingerie shop on Main Street. It lasted less than six months.
3. The Wright Brothers had two older brothers, Reuchlin and Lorin. But they didn't get included in the whole flying thing. (They also had a sister named Katharine.)
4. James Cameron's main motivation for making "Titanic" was to get the studio to pay for him to dive down to the real Titanic's wreckage. If it hadn't been for that, he says he didn't, quote, "particularly want to make the movie."
5. An iPhone contains 75 different chemical elements . . . which is about two-thirds of the elements on the Periodic Table.
