Five Fun Facts for Friday, June 5th, 2020:

 

(We'll, some are fun...some are just facts...)

 

1.  Violins made by Antonio Stradivari are the most expensive in the world . . . but he also made a small number of guitars.  And there's only one left in existence. 16 million.

2.  The guy who invented glow sticks didn't know they were popular at concerts and festivals until 2013.

3.  People produce an average of 0.28 pounds of feces per day, or around 100 pounds a year

4.  When Milton Bradley invented the Game of Life in 1860, one of the possible outcomes was suicide.

5.  There are 4,700 species of frogs, and only one makes a "ribbit" sound.  But we associate it with all frogs, because the frog that "ribbits" is native to California, so it's the one that sound engineers originally recorded for movies.
