Here are Big Dave’s 5 Nuggets of Knowledge for your Noggin’ – on this Monday, October 30th, 2023. Let’s learn something together:
- In 1934, there was a board game called “Toward Soviet America”, which was the OPPOSITE of “Monopoly”. The goals were to: get rid of the rich and powerful, end oppression, and seize the means of production. It didn’t catch on.
- The smell of fresh-cut grass is a distress signal. The grass is releasing a chemical that makes that smell to try to save itself from the mortal wound you just dealt to it.
- There was an official U.S. presidential yacht until Jimmy Carter got rid of it in 1977.
- Corn is a type of grass.
- Your head ages faster than your feet, although just by nanoseconds. It’s because your head is slightly farther from Earth’s gravitational field.
Be sure to share these 5 Nuggets of Knowledge for your Noggin’ with your family, friends & coworkers at some point today!
