Did you know…


--- that FDR tried to change Thanksgiving to the 3rd Thursday in November just so there would be more shopping days until Christmas? He had to change it back again two years later.

… that no word in the English language rhymes with ‘month.’

… that on Mt Everest the time is 5 hours and 45 minutes off of Coordinated Universal Time (used to be called Greenwich Mean Time?) For that matter, did you know that Coordinated Universal Time is abbreviated as UTC. Go figure.
