Here are Big Dave’s 5 Nuggets of Knowledge for your Noggin’ on this Thursday – June 30th, 2022. Let’s learn something together:
- Ralston Purina introduced the first version of Chex Mix in 1985. Yes, the same Ralston Purina that sells dog food.
- Only one person in history has ever been hit by a meteorite. A woman named Ann Hodges in Sylacauga, Alabama was in her house in November of 1954 when a chunk of a meteorite broke through her ceiling and hit her in the thigh. She survived.
- Moths rub their genitalia together to put out a signal that jams bat sonar.
- Pound for pound, the strongest organism on Earth is . . . GONORRHEA bacteria. They can pull about 100,000 times their body weight, which would be like a human pulling over 15 million pounds.
- The blood that Alfred Hitchcock used in the shower scene in “Psycho” was chocolate syrup . . . it looked more like blood in black-and-white than anything else they could find.
Be sure to share one or more of these 5 Nuggets of Knowledge for your Noggin’ with your family, friends & coworkers at some point today!
