Some Random Trivias

Here are some random facts I compiled just for the sake of posting something without any apparent reason.

> Do you still think that being "one in a million" is special? With a population reaching around 1.3 billion, China has 1300 "one in a million"s
> Pi has been calculated to over 2,260,321,363 digits...now that's accuracy
> In movies, the Eiffel Tower can be seen from almost any window in Paris
> Also in movies, the martial arts hero doesn't have to worry about being outnumbered by his enemies. They will just circle him and dance around as one by one fights with the hero
> Only in Bollywood movies, every problem has a solution...you just have to dance for it. And by the time someone starts dancing, a gang of unknown dancers suddenly appear out of nowhere to dance along
> Do you know Barbara Millicent Roberts? You might also know her as Barbie the doll
> Bhutan govt's policy is based on Gross National Happiness
> When more than half of the world's population tunes in to Friends, go to McDonald's, and have a drink at Starbucks; who really gets culture shock?
> This one's for your vocabulary: an "aglet" is the plastic/metal sheath at the tip of shoelaces and this symbol "&" is called an "ampersand"
> The wingspan of Boeing 747 is longer than the Wright brothers' first flight
> Charlie Chaplin once won third place in a Charlie Chaplin look-alike contest

There are still tons of such trivias out there on the internet, but the time now is like midnight-ish. So, I'll hit the bed as soon as I turn my laptop off. Well, you might also enjoy Mariah Carey's newest single "Touch My Body". Apparently, Carey has less body to touch after she lost some weight (according to the E! Channel) And last trivia, the lyric of the song has the word YouTube in it:
...If there's a camera up in here then I'd best not catch this flick on YouTube...
