Big Dave’s 5 Nuggets Of Knowledge For Your Noggin’ – (4/4/22)

Here are Big Dave’s 5 Random Facts for your Monday – April 4th, 2022. Let’s learn something together:

1. No regular words in English rhyme with orange . . . or silver, purple, month, ninth, pint, wolf, opus, dangerous, marathon, and discombobulate.
2. “Orange” actually DOES rhyme with something.  There’s a mountain in Wales called Blorenge . . . and there’s a sac in some plants that produces spores called a sporange.  But one is a proper name, and the other is a technical term.
3. Warren Buffett is 91 years old and still drinks at least five cans of Coke every day.  He drinks it with breakfast instead of coffee . . . and sometimes drinks it while he eats ice cream.
4. The first person to lead the NBA in steals was a player named Larry Steele in 1974. The NBA didn’t track steals until that season.
5. Reed Hastings came up with the idea for Netflix when he rented “Apollo 13” and wound up owing $40 in late fees.  He thought it would be great to have a rental service where you paid a flat rate and could keep movies as long as you wanted.

Be sure to use one of these little tidbits in your life this week!
