Facts So Fun, They Must Be True!
The leading cause of death in Tazmania isn't attacks by Tazmanian Devils as many people mistakenly assume - it's actually heart disease!

Sir Peter Stuyvesant and Sir William Raleigh couldn't reach an agreement, so they flipped a coin - and that's why to this very day it's called New York City! If the coin had landed tails as Sir Raleigh had hoped, it would have been called New Funsburg!

Martin Van Buren was only four feet and ten inches tall. He insisted that all drawings depict him as a taller man, so most Americans alive at the time never even knew!

An elephant obstetrician? It's not that far fetched! Elephants are among the most social mammals, and the male elephant will often help his mate deliver their baby!

Just to clear up some confusion - stalagmites grow up, stalactites grow down, and stazactites grow out of the side!
