    Trivia: eggs fully form in the ovaries of fetuses. That means the egg that became you was once inside the body of your grandmother.

                    Etymology fun fact: The arteries in the neck are called "carotids," from the Greek word "karotides", relating to the word "katotikos" (to stupefy) and "karos" (deep sleep).

                    The ancient Greeks used it/knew that compression of the carotid arteries would produce unconsciousness.

                      No idea if this is true or not, but if so...cool!

                      The Canadian Passport under UV light reveals its secret watermark.

                          Wonder if there are cool features that would be revealed on currency bills under UV light, too.

                                  The Women’s Christian Temperance Union, to which we owe the failed experiment of prohibition, still exists. It claimed 5k members in 2012, down from 350k a century earlier.

                                  On the website it tells you how you join. You print out the temperance pledge, and mail it to Evanston IL along with $20.
