The number of hamburgers the McDonald’s
fast-food chain has sold is 12 times
the world's total population.

There are more than 700 species of plants
that grow in the United States that have been
identified as dangerous if eaten.
Among them are some that are commonly favored by gardeners:
buttercups, daffodils, lily of the valley,
sweet peas, oleander, azalea, bleeding heart,
delphinium, and rhododendron.

Coined in the early 1980s, the slang term “rock jock”
is a mountaineering enthusiast..

When Elizabeth I of Russia died in 1762,
15,000 dresses were found in her closets.
She used to change what she was wearing two
and even three times an evening.

America purchased Alaska from Russia in 1867
for $7,200,000 — about 2 cents an acre.
