Today’s Random Facts!

Here are some random facts for you . . .

1.  There are 356,739 religious congregations in the U.S.  That’s one for about every 934 Americans.  But the overall average congregational size is about 451.

2.  The best-selling car of all time is the Toyota Corolla.  More than 50 million of them have been sold worldwide since it came out in 1966.  That’s more than twice the runner-up, the Volkswagen Beetle, which sold 21 million units.

3.  John Adams argued that people should say “Your Highness” or “Your Majesty” when they were talking to the President of the United States.  But Thomas Jefferson said it was “ridiculous” and Ben Franklin called it “absolutely mad.”

4.  The reason gas prices end with nine-tenths of a cent, like $2.499, comes from the Great Depression, when Congress created a gas tax of 1.5 cents. The stations had to start calculating tenths of a gallon from then on, and that tradition stuck.

5.  Larry the Cable Guy has never worked as a cable guy.
