-- Did you know that chocolate milk was invented in Jamaica? According to the Natural History Museum in Britain, the credit goes to Sir Hans Sloane, an Irish botanist.

-- Can’t believe this is real. Until 1974, it was Illegal to appear in public in Chicago if you were "ugly." Between 1867 and 1974, various cities of the United States had unsightly beggar ordinances, in retrospect also dubbed ugly laws. These laws deemed it illegal for "any person, who is diseased, maimed, mutilated or deformed in any way, so as to be an unsightly or disgusting object, to expose himself or herself to public view.

-- Umm, this is mind boggling & we’re not sure how it’s possible! The world record for the longest pee is 508 seconds. Nearly 8.5 minutes.
