Interesting Fact of the Day

Leave a comment

So stuff happens in the world. Like All. The. Time. Why not sift through it, twitter style with @neverknownfacts or at their website:

www.neverknownfacts.com

Today I learned:

  • The Disney Channel doesn’t accept any outside ads. The only commercials it airs are for its own shows and Disney products.
  • The least successful Harry Potter move earned about $90 million over than the most successful Twilight movie.

and…

  • The sons of Hitler’s nephew all agreed that they would never marry or have children in order to kill Hitler’s bloodline.

There IS a lot of not great stuff on their twitter account, due to some of their random retweets, BUT there website is fun and is a great conversation starter!
