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.

Alexander Graham Bell never set out to invent the telephone.  It was a by-product of his efforts  to create a device that might help his wife and mother, both of whom were deaf, hear and communicate better.

American dentists use 26,000 pounds of gold per year for fillings, crowns, and inlays.

These facts have been discovered in I NEVER KNEW THAT by David Hoffman (2009).
