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.
Although it ranks as the world’s fifth-busiest airport, more people start their trips at Los Angeles International than any other airport in the world.
In a publicity stunt to recognize the one million copies sold of Glenn Miller’s “Chattanooga Choo Choo” in 1942, RCA Records spray-painted a record gold and presented it to Miller during a radio show. A decade later, the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) borrowed the idea and started issuing Gold Records whenever sales hit five hundred thousand.
These facts have been discovered in I NEVER KNEW THAT by David Hoffman (2009).
