The Daily Fact "Kill Bill Vol. 1" is the first Quentin Terintino movie to use the F word less than 100 times. 'Weird Al' Yankovic graduated Lynwood High School at the age of 16 as valedictorian. Hair is stronger than a copper wire of the same diameter. The record for the world’s largest feet belongs to Matthew McGrory who wears US size 28 1/2 shoes. The average men’s size is 10 1/2.

Re: The Daily Fact Thread
The Daily Fact Google's first ever Twitter post was, "I'm 01100110 01100101 01100101 01101100 01101001 01101110 01100111 00100000 01101100 01110101 01100011 01101011 01111001 00001010." Or in layman's terms, "I'm feeling lucky." Repaints My Maps Online Maps Customs CoN is FuN

NP. Strange coincidence, I had just seen something about him on TV before reading your post. I think it was 'Under the Radar, Michigan' on PBS and they had one of his shoes in a shoe store in the town they were highlighting that week.

Re: The Daily Fact Thread
The Daily Fact Only two English words in current use end in "-gry". They are "angry" and "hungry". The word "bookkeeper" (along with its associate "bookkeeping") is the only unhyphenated English word with three consecutive double letters. Other such words, like "sweet-toothed", require a hyphen to be readily readable. No word in the English language rhymes with month, orange, silver, and purple.
