Fun Facts

 


The first pieces of gold at Fort Knox arrived by mail.

Over the years, Fort Knox has definitely lived up to its reputation of being an impregnable facility. However, the very first gold that arrived at the bullion depository in 1937 wasn't particularly well-protected. In fact, according to the United States Mint, "The gold was too heavy to fly in, so it was mailed there by train through the Post Office Department, today's United States Postal Service."

 Bad situations go away when I change my attitude. 

Fun Fact of the day

 

The longest tennis rally lasted over 12 hours.

Italian athletes Simone Frediani and Daniele Pecci earned the world record for the longest tennis rally ever on June 11, 2017. Hitting for more than 12 and a half hours straight—from 6:23 a.m. to 7 p.m.—the two took a total of 51,283 uninterrupted strokes, sipping from water-filled backpacks to hydrate without having to stop play. Any good tennis player will tell you that consistency is crucial, and we're pretty sure these two have that part of the game down pretty darn well.

Great white sharks are so scared of killer whales that they'll avoid an area for up to a year after spotting one.

One of them being another kind of big swimmer: orcas, or what are often referred to as killer whales. In fact, a 2019 study published in the journal Nature suggests they're so terrified of the ferocious whales that they'll avoid an area for up to a year if they encounter one even if it's just passing by.

A 26-sided shape is known as a small rhombicuboctahedron.

Even if you break it down to rhombi-cubo-octahedron, the word is just about as hard to say as it would be to draw. That's because a small rhombicuboctahedron is a polyhedron that has eight triangular faces and 18 square faces. Add them all up and you have a snazzy-looking shape with 26 sides.
