Here are Big Dave’s 5 Nuggets of Knowledge for your Noggin’ – on this Monday, April 29th, 2024. Let’s learn something together:

Channing Tatum played a bartender in Ricky Martin’s “She Bangs“ video. He was paid $400.
House music got its name because it started at a club in Chicago called The Warehouse in 1977.
In America, the Sony Walkman was originally called the Sound-About.
Michael Phelps was rated the second best swimmer in the country in his age group when he was 10. The kid who was number one was Kris Humphries, who went on to become an NBA player and was married to Kim Kardashian for about 12 minutes.
The “step” in words like “stepmother” or “stepchild” doesn’t come from the fact that you’re one step away from being blood related. It comes from an Old English word spelled “s-t-e-o-p,” which meant “deprived of a relative.” So orphans were called steopchildren.
