Freaky Facts Friday

Freaky?  Absolutely.  Factual? I found them on the internet.  You decide!

It is estimated that 4 million “junk” telephone calls, phone solicitations by persons or programmed machines, are made every day in the U.S.

The “You Are Here” arrow on maps is called an ideo locator.

Idiot locator sounds more accurate to me.

The National Anthem of Greece has 158 verses.

Good thing Christina Aguilera is not Greek.

There are 1,008 McDonald’s franchises in France.

Cats have over 100 vocal sounds, while dogs only have about 10.

Yeah, and Edward Scissorhands is an accomplished pianist.

Sounds suspiciously like a couple of girls I went to high school with.

Every minute, about 35,000 dead skin cells fall from your body.

Unfortunately, this doesn’t help my dieting efforts at all.

After eating, a housefly regurgitates its food and then eats it again.

As if walking around on poop wasn’t gross enough…
