'There are 62 Lego bricks for every person on the planet.'

Ole Kirk Christiansen, the 13th son of a poor family in Denmark, lost his job and took to making miniature toys in 1932. He started with wood, but his company moved on to producing its recognizable Lego bricks in 1949. Today Lego creates roughly 600 pieces per second, and has produced roughly 400 billion throughout its history.

My kids have at least 1 million of them :) Legos still rule as far as kid toys go.

my brother and I still have all of our legos. Easily one of the best toys we ever got. between that and nerf guns. :)

We had quite a few nerf guns, my parents would run around in the house w/ us. We'd have nerf wars. it was so much fun :)

'The Hubble Ultra Deep Field is the deepest image ever assembled by humanity.'


The image, a million-second-long exposure taken by the Hubble Space Telescope, displays about 10,000 galaxies (some of them among the first galaxies to follow from the Big Bang) and looks back about 13 billion years. Despite all that, the image covers only 11 square arcminutes -- about the size of a lowercase letter O in this sentence, and one thirteen-millionth of the entire sky.

'Teddy Roosevelt was the first to call the American seat of government "The White House."'

One of the myths surrounding the building was that its white paint was meant to cover the burn marks on the structure following the Burning of Washington in 1814. After the War of 1812, the White House was colloquially referred to by that name from time to time, but its official title was simply "The Executive Mansion" until Roosevelt began putting "White House -- Washington" on official stationery in 1901.

Between 1937 and 1945 Heinz produced a version of Alphabetti Spaghetti especially for the German market that consisted solely of little pasta swastikas.
