Here are Big Dave’s 5 Nuggets of Knowledge for your Noggin’ on this Monday – July 11th, 2022. Let’s learn something together:

  1. The plight of the Trix Rabbit has drawn comparisons to Sisyphus, a Greek figure who was doomed to endlessly repeat a futile task.  The Trix Rabbit HAS succeeded in eating Trix, including five times as the result of a box-top mail-in contest.
  2. The military initially wanted the Golden Gate Bridge to be painted with yellow and black stripes for visibility . . . but an architect ultimately convinced them it would look better if it was an orange-red color.
  3. 7-Eleven got its name from its original hours in 1946:  It was open from 7:00 A.M. to 11:00 P.M.  They didn’t start staying open 24 hours until the 1960s.
  4. The reason a whip cracks is because its tip is moving fast enough to break the sound barrier and cause a small sonic boom.
  5. The English word that’s used the most is: “the.”  It’s followed by “be” . . . “and” . . . “a” . . . and “of.”
