Friends - hope you enjoy this assortment of facts & triva:
In the movie, 'Star Wars', during the scene in which Luke gets out of his X-wing fighter after blowing up the Death Star, he accidentally calls Princess Leia 'Carrie' (her real first name).
In Fruita, Colorado, the town folk celebrate 'Mike the Headless
Chicken Day'. Seems that a farmer named L.A. Olsen cut off Mike's
head on September 10, 1945 in anticipation of a chicken dinner - and Mike lived for another 4 years WITHOUT A HEAD. Mike died from choking on a corn kernel. http://www.miketheheadlesschicken.org
The potato chips Americans eat each year weigh 6 times as much as the Titanic.
A photo of John F. Kennedy in the car just seconds before his
assassination also in the background shows a man in the crowd in
front of the book depository, who looks just like and is dressed just like Lee Harvey Oswald.

111,111,111 x 111,111,111 = 12,345,678,987,654,321.
The daily commuter trains arriving or departing Mumbai India every 2 minutes were designed to carry 1700 standing passengers, but are routinely packed with over 7000 passengers in what officials call dense, super dense, and hyper dense crush loads.
At U.S. President Andrew Jackson's funeral in 1845 his pet parrot was removed for swearing.
In 1916 Russian Pilots spotted Noahs Ark on Mt. Ararat. The Czar
sent an expedition of over 100 men who took samples, photographs and measurements, but these were lost in the communist revolution. In 1955 Francis Nevarra recovered hand crafted wood from Mt. Ararat which was dated to be approximately 5,000 years old. US satellite and spy plane photos reveal a "large unexplained anomaly" near the
top of Mt. Ararat.

Cost in the USA of raising a medium sized dog to the age of 11:
$6,400.
The Roman emperor Commodos collected all the dwarfs, cripples, and freaks he could find in the city of Rome and had them brought to the Colosseum, where they were ordered to fight each other to the death with meat cleavers.
Titanic movie: When Jack walks through the french doors for dinner with Rose and her family, a camera man's reflection can be seen on the glass. Captain Smith is wearing contact lenses. In one scene a man with a yellow shirt and a black moustache falls off the boat and drowns; five minutes later the same exact man is seen playing the violin with two other men. At one point you can see a small hill with a town on it over Jack's shoulder, even though he is supposedly in the middle of the Atlantic.
Coca Cola was originally green.
One of the fossils the evolutionists presented to the press during
the famous "Scopes Monkey Trials" was a tooth they claimed that was evidence of the missing link between man and ape. The link was dubbed "Nebraska Man" and evolutionary theories suggested an entire pre Homo-Sapiens civilization in the Americas. Years after the trial, more diggings were made and it was discovered that the tooth belonged to a pig. http://www.icr.org/pubs/btg-b/btg-080b.htm
Every day more money is printed for monopoly than
the US Treasury.

Adolf Hitler was rumored to be demon-possessed. On occasion in a top-secret meeting in a secure room with his generals, he would do somethng like point at an empty corner and exclaim, "How did HE get in here??!"

The airplane that hit the Pentagon on September 11th, 2001 was
originally targeted for the White House. The taller old executive
building blocked the flight path so that plan was changed at the last minute. Dick Cheney was in the White House at the time and was whisked quickly to the basement.
Volleyball is the favorite sport at American nudist camps.
The U.S. Interstate Highway system was designed so that one mile in every five must be straight. These straight sections are usable as airstrips in times of war or other emergencies.
In the Puluxy River Bed near Glen Rose Texas, large human footprints and also dinosaur prints can be found in the same area. Sometimes the prints even cross each other, and occasionally there is found a human print on a dinosaur print! http://www.icr.org/pubs/imp/imp-035.htm
The very first bomb dropped by the Allies on Berlin during World War II killed the only elephant in the Berlin Zoo.
The first 5 books in the Bible have not only the Ten Commandments, but a total of 613. No one has ever come close to keeping them. Christ also noted that if you break just one point of the Law you are guilty of breaking them all. (The solution to this problem can be found at http://www.greatcom.org/laws/english/flash/ ).
Some of the chariot racers in 'Ben Hur' were seen to be wearing
wristwatches. You can also see tire marks in front of the chariots,
and in once scene a red car in the distance.
