  1. Nearly two-thirds of ALL meteorites discovered on Earth are found in Antarctica.  Of course, Antarctica is basically just an empty white sheet, which is almost entirely populated by scientists.
  2. Ronald Reagan was a lifeguard in high school and he saved 77 people from drowning.
  3. Michael Jordan got his degree in “cultural geography” from the University of North Carolina, because his backup plan after basketball was to be a weatherman.
  4. The author who wrote “The Treasure of the Sierra Madre” was a German guy named B. Traven, but not really.  That was a pen name and no one is sure of his real name.
  5. The math problem that Matt Damon solves in “Good Will Hunting” isn’t actually very hard, according to a mathematician from Cambridge and even someone who wasn’t a mathematician could probably solve it.

Be sure to share these 5 Nuggets of Knowledge for your Noggin’ with your family, friends & coworkers at some point today!
