Did You Know?

http://www.kellys.com/know.html

Today's web page presents an impressive array of individual
factoids.  Readers who enjoy tossing off startling trivia may
find the site
an irresistible source of amusing fodder.

"Barbie's measurements if she were life size: 39-23-33. ...  The
dollar symbol ($) is a U combined with an S (U.S.) ...  Our eyes
are always the same size from birth, but our nose and ears never
stop growing. ...  The Statue of Liberty's tablet is two feet
thick. ...  There are two credit cards for every person in the
United States. ... Des Moines has the highest per capita Jello
consumption in the U.S." - from the website

Dozens of historical, current, oddball and downright interesting
bits and bobs of information are offered on the web page, in a
straightforward text format. Some of the historical "facts" are
controversial and need not be accepted as the definitive answer.
(See the origin of "Ring Around the Rosey", for example.)Towards
the bottom, a short quiz is included, with the answers below.
