3. If you die in Amsterdam and you don’t have any family or next of kin, a poet will write a poem about you and recite it at your funeral.
4. Exxon tried to get into the office supplies market in the ’70s and ’80s, and made products like a typewriter with a floppy disk built in to save what you were typing. They killed off the division in 1984 after they lost more than $1 billion.
5. Nickelback got their name because when one of the members was a cashier at Starbucks, people would give him $1.50 to pay for their coffee that cost $1.45 . . . and he’d give them a nickel back.
