Here are Big Dave’s 5 Nuggets of Knowledge for your Noggin’ – on this Wednesday, October 4th, 2023. Let’s learn something together:

1. Humans have been eating pistachios for approximately 8,750 years.
2. Almost 99.9% of the mass in our Solar System is the sun.
3. The rotation of Venus itself is very slow, but it travels around the sun faster than Earth.  A DAY on Venus lasts 243 Earth days, while a YEAR on Venus only lasts 225 Earth days.  Yes, that means a DAY on Venus is a little longer than a YEAR on Venus.
4. More than 50% of rideshare drivers are 50 and older.  Only 6% are between the ages of 18 and 29.
5. The U.S. government has a guide for the official name for people from every state, from Alabamian to “Hawaii Resident” to Wyomingite.
