It does? Neat. I've lived here my entire life and have never seen that.
However, those little sweet/chalky candies, named Smarties in the US, are named Rockets here in Canada.

We've got a different product named Smarties that are similar in size and shape to M&Ms (which we do have as well), but taste better (in my professional fat-guy opinion.)

In the song Roxanne, her name gets said twenty eight times.

There are 2.3 million strands of hair on Sully from Monsters Inc. a single frame took twelve hours to make.

Rendering Devastator in "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" caused one of the mainframe computers to melt.
We're talking ILM. This is the company that handled the effects for Star Wars. Their mainframe MELTED rendering Devastator, which is why you rarely see a full body shot of him , unless it's far away.

You are more likely to die on your way to buy a lottery ticket than to actually win the lottery.
Snoop Dogg/ Snoop Lion's IQ is around 150 which is considered "Highly gifted-genius" level.

Many buttons for opening doors on things like elevators actually are placebos, they do nothing and are just there to make you feel more in-control.

Trivia of yours truly:
I am the only left-handed person in my family, and ambidextrous in everything BUT writing/drawing.
I was the first person in my high school to ever be diagnosed with syncope.
I am highly allergic to cigarettes and oranges.
I can cross one eye at a time.
I have a deviated septum, an under developed sinus on the right side of my head, and a baby tooth that never came down.
I can throw a ball at 45 mph without even trying.
Out of the thirteen years I have played softball, I only managed to hit one homerun. (I'm not a strong hitter)
Out of all the sports I have played: softball, soccer, volleyball, bowling, basketball, cross country, track, gymnastics... basketball was the only one I truly sucked at...
Speaking of basketball, I was the only left handed dribbler on my team.
I have never gotten a ticket before, but I have been stopped by a cop before. (He thought I was drunk, but a massive migraine took over and caused me to constantly swerve)
I cook for people but most of the time I refuse to eat the foods I make.
That's all I got for right now.

Michael Jackson actually composed the first original soundtrack for Sonic 3, prior to the game's release..
He ultimately backed out because he didn't like how the music sounded once it was incorporated into the game. Ironically, the music for the end credits for Sonic 3 ended up being the music Michael Jackson used for his song Stranger In Moscow.
That song happens to be one of my favorite Michael Jackson songs.

-Cats do not have collar bones.
-Most tornadoes in the northern hemisphere spin counterclockwise; tornadoes in the southern hemisphere tend to spin clockwise.
-A bolt of lightning is hotter than the surface of the sun (how people know this I'm not quite sure).
-The highest surface wind speeds ever measured were recorded during a May 1999 OK City tornado- 312 mph.
-Rabies, if left untreated, has a 99% mortality rate in humans.
-Blood type O- is the universal donor because 1) it's the most popular blood type; and 2) people who have positive blood can receive negative blood, but people who have negative blood cannot receive positive blood.

In rare instances women can actually have a second egg fertilized post-pregnancy. This can result in a pair of twins in which one twin is pre-mature while the other was carried to term. Theoretically, this could also mean that it would be possible for these twins to have two separate fathers yet still be twins.

I totally forgot today was the 11th... so that's why my mommy text me about slurpies.
Hmm, trivia... trivia.... Oh!
In order to burn off all the calories a single M&M gives you, you need to walk across an entire football field. Yeap.

This is NOT the origin of my K symbol/flag
I've used it since I was a kid. I was reminded by EP daily a few months ago, about the Circle-K store in the bg of one of the Bill & Ted movies. It's probably influenced by that, since I do sometimes call it my corcle K. Circle K stores are apparently been around since the 50s, but only showed up around here in the past few years. I was wondering where they came from.
I've also seen other K circle symbols. One was on a circuit board in my old CD walkman. My old tech teacher used to complain I signed my name with it.
