1. “Partly cloudy” and “mostly sunny” mean the exact same thing in a weather report: 26% to 50% cloud cover.
2. The holes in Swiss cheese come from microscopic hay particles.
3. One of your nostrils is always breathing in more air than the other one. But they trade off every 15 minutes or so, to make sure there’s always one that’s clear to handle intricate smells.
4. Official temperatures are taken in shade, not under sunlight.
5. Michael Jackson’s first solo number one hit was the song “Ben” in 1972, from a horror movie called “Ben” about a killer rat. Michael was 14 years old when he recorded it.
