1. Michael Jackson sang the chorus for the one-hit wonder “Somebody’s Watching Me” by Rockwell.

2. Machu Picchu was built in 1450, which means it’s younger than Oxford University.

3. When the first car radios were introduced in the 1930s, there was a huge battle over whether they were too distracting . . . and several states even considered major fines for people who used them.

4. Starting in our 50s, most people have a noticeable reduction in body hair, especially in the legs. The reason is unknown . . . but it could be due to poorer circulation, or lower hormone levels.

5. The phrase “Knock knock! Who’s there?” comes from Shakespeare. It was in “Macbeth”.
