2. When an inmate on death row is executed, the official cause of death on their death certificate is listed as HOMICIDE.
3. The largest book in the Library of Congress is five feet by seven feet. It features photos of Bhutan, a country in Asia between India and China.
4. All five boroughs of New York City have been the home of a pro sports team, even Staten Island. The Staten Island Stapletons played in the NFL from 1929 to 1932.
