Apparently in the new Bourne movie, Matt Damon has only 25 lines of dialogue. Obviously don't expect anything deep.

Both the current and previous "world's oldest person" have eaten bacon/eggs daily. The oldest 2 cats ever also ate bacon and eggs daily.

Sources:

Previous World's Oldest Person: Susannah Mushatt Jones

Current World's Oldest Person: Emma Morano. Her diet is almost exclusively bacon and raw eggs.

Creme Puff 38, and Rexs Allen, 34, were both owned by Jake Perry.

Pineberry is an albino strawberry cultivar that tastes like pineapples.

It is white with red seeds.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pineberry

Also, don't get tricked into buying random stuff like Alpine strawberry or an Asian variation Fragaria nilgerrensis that supposedly doesn't taste very good.

Last year's Federal Election was the only one in Canadian history where all of the eligible voters were born in the 20th Century (assuming Trudeau doesn't call a surprise election in the next couple of years). The last Canadian born in the 19th Century died a few months after the 2011 election; and by the time the next election is held, people born in the 21st Century will be eligible to vote.


The last American born in the 19th Century died in May, so the same is true of this year's Presidential election.

At the height of it's power, Pablo Escobar's cartel was spending $2500 per month on elastic bands to bundle their cash.

I thought this was funny/gross. It also explains the history of a commonly used English word:

Quote:
Captain Sir Mansfield George Smith-Cumming, KCMG, CB (1 April 1859 – 14 June 1923) was the first director of what would become the Secret Intelligence Service (SIS), also known as MI6. In this role he was particularly successful in building an imperial intelligence service.
Quote:
When SSB discovered that semen made a good invisible ink, his agents adopted the motto "Every man his own stylo". However, the use of semen as invisible ink was ceased because of the smell it produced for the eventual receiver. It also raised questions over the masturbatory habits of the agents.[4][8]
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mansfield_Smith-Cumming

Wait... Works at what? Being cologne? What about the other 40%? Works as mouthwash or nail polish remover?

Hmm, as for interesting facts - it surprises me to learn who is still alive out there. Smother's Brothers - I swear I thought they were both dead.
