Here are Big Dave’s 5 Random Facts for your Monday – October 18th, 2021. Let’s learn something together:
- The Luna moth only survives six or seven days once reaching adulthood, because it has no mouth and dies of starvation. Their sole purpose in life is to reproduce.
- Times Square was originally called Longacre Square. It was renamed in April of 1904 when the “New York Times” moved its headquarters there.
- Fedoras were originally designed for women.
- “Wonder Woman” is the highest-grossing World War One movie by far. It’s made almost $413 million at the box office. “1917” is number two, at $160 million, followed by “War Horse” ($80 million), and “Lawrence of Arabia” ($37 million). (NOTE: If you adjust for inflation, “Lawrence of Arabia” would be #1, followed by “Wonder Woman”, then “1917” and “War Horse”.)
- Babies are born with around 300 bones, but over time they fuse together making the final count of 206 that we have as adults.
