1. The Lego company has been around for 90 years now. The name is a simplified version of two Danish words “leg godt,” which means “play well.”

2. The name “Gary” is only popular thanks to the actor Gary Cooper . . . whose real name was actually Frank Cooper. He adopted the first name Gary after the city of Gary, Indiana, because it seemed like a TOUGH place and he wanted to be tough.

3. Broccoli is manmade. It was created by carefully breeding wild kale that had the right traits. Cauliflower and Brussels sprouts are manmade too.

4. People are the only animals with chins.

5. The Atlantic Ocean is much saltier than the Pacific.
