Here are Big Dave’s 5 Random Facts for your Thursday – April 14th, 2022. Let’s learn something together:
- “Godfather” director Francis Ford Coppola made more money making wine than he did making movies.
- There’s a type of school called a “Sudbury school” that’s a complete democracy- the students and the staff are equal and vote on things like curriculum, budget, hiring, and firing. About 40 schools in America still use the Sudbury method.
- A small part of Oregon is in the Mountain Time Zone and some of the Florida panhandle is in the Central Time Zone. So a person in eastern Oregon talking to a friend in Pensacola, Florida would only have a one-hour time difference.
- The average age of people in NASA’s mission control room during the Apollo 11 moon landing was 28.
- The most gender-neutral name in America is Marion. It’s been given to roughly 4,000 girls and boys over the past three decades.
