1. DJ Steve Aoki is the heir to the Benihana restaurant franchise.
2. There’s only one incorporated town in the U.S. with a population of ONE:  Monowi, Nebraska.  The woman who lives there is 87-year-old Elsie Eiler.

4. Bill Withers wrote “Ain’t No Sunshine“ when he was working at a factory making toilet seats for airplanes.  And he intended to write more lyrics for the part where he repeats “I know” 26 times, but other musicians told him to leave it.
5. During Prohibition, the Pabst Brewing Company stayed alive by making a cheese called Pabst-ett.
