Learned something also. Thanks for that link. The site also has this "amazing fact generator" function that might prove interesting.

Here are a couple examples:

"There is one strand of corn silk for each kernel on an ear of corn."

"Black-eyed peas aren’t peas, but beans. And coffee beans aren’t beans, but seeds."

It looks like the facts are submitted by readers so I'm not sure of the accuracy but it is potentially a good read.
