  1. The guy who created Ultimate Frisbee was a college student named Joel Silver . . . and after school, he went on to become a huge Hollywood producer. He’s the guy behind the “Lethal Weapon”, “Die Hard”, and “Matrix” movies.
  2. Astronauts can grow 3% taller in space . . . which is about two inches if you’re six feet tall. It takes a few months on Earth for gravity to pull them back down to their normal height.
  3. The U.S. military buys the most explosives in the country . . . Walt Disney Company is Number Two.
