This informative post will be posted on Saturday along with my usual writing. We can all appreciate some of the lesser known facts from around the world.
More pizzas are sold and delivered on Super Bowl Sunday than on any other day of the year–a primary reason that Super Bowl Sunday ranks second (behind Thanksgiving) as the biggest day for food consumption in the United States.
The penny is the only currently minted U.S. coin featuring a profile [President Abraham Lincoln] that faces to the right.
These facts have been discovered in I NEVER KNEW THAT by David Hoffman (2009).

Good comeback! Only in America, can we become paranoid about simple, blue mailboxes.

Michael, thanks for sharing. My wife and I play some card games, and we have out own unique way of shuffling the cards. For some reason, it leads to more luck for me.

I am not really much a comics fan. When I was growing up, my fascination was with sports–playing and reading about real-life athletes.
