Here are some random facts for you.
1. Research from Ohio State University found that living within 30 miles of an ocean or a gulf may be linked to a longer life, by at least a year. The same ISN’T true among people who live near inland bodies of water.
2. The whitest state in the U.S. is Maine. 90.2% of the population is white. Vermont and West Virginia are next, both at 89.1%. Hawaii is the least white, at 21.6%.
3. John Hughes wanted to film the baseball scenes for “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off” at Comiskey Park, not the much more iconic Wrigley Field, because he was a White Sox fan. But because of the shooting schedule, they had to film at a Cubs game instead. (The White Sox now play at Rate Field.)
4. The famous sky-and-grass photo that was the default background in Windows XP is from Napa Valley, California, and it only looks like it does in the photo because an insect infestation had wiped out all of the grapevines in the area.
5. When Facebook first launched in 2004, you could only upload one photo. And there was no messaging, no notifications, no wall, and no status updates.
