Fun Fact #1

Cats have free floating clavicle bones, unlike humans whose clavicles are set in place. Their forelimbs are attached to their body by means of this floating clavicle, which means that cats can fit into any space that they can pass their heads through.

Fun Fact #2

In 1913 the US Postal Service began the parcel sending service. Soon after a business man in Utah decided he would build a bank.

After looking into renting freights to haul the bricks the 120-mile distance needed, he discovered that it was four times cheaper to send them all through the mail. He had the bricks carefully wrapped in crates, each weighing less than 50 pounds. The bricks arrived without problem and the bank was built.
