I hope you are all doing well this Sunday morning. Here's your Sunday version of Did You Know. Have a great day, folks!
The dome on Monticello, Thomas Jefferson's home, conceals a billiards room. In Jefferson's day, billiards were illegal in Virginia.
According to Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity, it is possible to go slower than light and faster than light, but it is impossible to go at the speed of light.
In most advertisments, including newspapers, the time displayed on a watch is 10:10 because then the arms frame the brand of the watch.
Cleo and Caesar were the early stage names of Cher and Sonny Bono.
Ben and Jerry's send the waste from making ice cream to local pig farmers to use as feed. Pigs love the stuff, except for one flavor: Mint Oreo.
Until 1965, driving was done on the left-hand side on roads in Sweden. The conversion to right-hand was done on a weekday at 5pm. All traffic stopped as people switched sides. This time and day were chosen to prevent accidents where drivers would have gotten up in the morning and been too sleepy to realize *this* was the day of the changeover.
In left hand drive countries, such as the UK, Ireland, Japan, and Australia, drivers sit on the right hand side of the car. Except for Sweden, where drivers sat on the left, as in North-America.
Japan is the third most densely populated country in the world. First is the Netherlands, followed by Belgium.
Alfred Hitchcock didn't have a belly button. It was eliminated when he was sewn up after surgery.
Genghis Khan started out life as a goatherd.

omg...*laughing my ASS off at Erica*...that was too funny of a comment to see posted.
So I guess the moral of Did you Know this morning is watch out for the Goatherds! Not the psychopaths who ummm.,..i don't know what my point was, check please!
I knew about watches displaying 10:10, but I was told it was for a different reason. I was told back in college that it was to make the 'hands' look like they were 'smiling' and therefore appearing positive. I'd believe it was a bunch of BS if I didn't work in advertising. Sorry. Way too much information.
