The buzz from an electric razor in America plays in the key of B flat; Key of G in England.

After his term, Washington opened a whiskey distillery. By 1799, Washington’s distillery was the largest in the country, producing 11,000 gallons of un-aged whiskey!

President Zachary Taylor died from a cherry overdose! Zachary Taylor passed away after eating way too many cherries and drinking milk at a July 4 party in 1850. He died on July 9th from gastroenteritis. The acid in cherries along with the milk is believed to have caused this.

I wonder what getting high on Cherries and milk feels like, probably not very good but I am curious as to how he acted and what it felt like for him

In this year's European Championship, there has been a lot of debate about the role of politics in football. But in yesterday's match between Portugal and France, there was actually a political connection which has not really been talked about.

Cristiano Ronaldo is named after Ronald Reagan. Portugal's all-time great star was born in 1985, about halfway through Reagan's presidency, and Ronaldo's father was such a big fan of the man that it simply had to be included in his son Cristiano's name.
However, it was not so much the politics that the father liked. Before he became a politician, Reagan was an actor - and it was the actor Ronald Reagan that Cristiano Ronaldo's father was a big fan of.

The Bloody Mary wasn’t always called Bloody Mary! First, the popular brunch drink was actually called A Bucket Of Blood. After Bucket Of Blood, it transitioned to Red Snapper and, finally, settled on Bloody Mary.

By 1940, drive-in car washes with girls in very little clothing had become popular in the United States.
This, of course, was met with both joy and anger, and in 1940 a woman from Dallas complained that she would not stare at female bones, but rather male bones!
The owners loved the idea and opened a similar laundry station with men in short shorts.
The woman thought it was wrong both socially and economically, but was not a feminist. On the contrary, she believed that men - and not women - needed to work.

The most useless and random fact ever?

The word for the study of poop is Scatology

Dueling is legal in Paraguay as long as both parties are registered blood donors.

The state of Delaware didn't abolish whipping and flogging until 1964

Texas is the only state that is allowed to fly its state flag at the same height as the U.S. flag.
