A regular BIC ballpoint pen can draw a line that’s about 2 kilometers long.

Well, I wish the stock market was more 'bullish'...my meager investments can't bear much more of the current ongoings on Wallstrasse!

The SR-71 Aircraft burned 5,000 pounds of fuel in order to just start up and taxi to the end of the runway.
Not including fuel used for the actual take-off. Thirsty bird!

On the Hollywood Walk of Fame, there is only one star that is mounted on a vertical surface instead of being embedded in the sidewalk.
That is Muhammad Ali's star, which was approved in a rather controversial decision that boxing was considered a form of "life performance".

Graveyards are associated, and normally colocated, with a church
Cemeteries are not associated with a church

In many movies, the tails of dogs/wolves have to be "CGIed". The reason is that the dog actors are usually happy and excited about performing that they can't control their wagger.

When the then-future English Queen Elizabeth II was to be married in 1947, clothing was still rationed, so she was therefore given special permission by the British government to get 200 extra clothing rationing marks in order to get the fabric for the wedding dress.
She also had to return hundreds of ration stamps that women across the country had sent her as gifts, as it was illegal to give them away. Markus

The Word “Telephone” Was Used Before The Telephone Existed
The term actually predated the device as we know it. The word “telephone” was first used in 1828 by a man named Francois Sudre to describe his invention, which was a musical signaling device.

Foldable backgammon boards became popular in the 16th century. The Catholic Church banned the playing backgammon and the foldable boards were made to resemble books.... hopefully not resembling the books that the Catholic church were burning.
