I've been writing a lot of very formal articles recently, and wanted to take a short break from all that and just write a short little piece on random trivia I know. The facts found here come from a variety of sources such as documentaries, books, and various company websites. This isn't a list of all my facts, just a few to comprise an article until I feel like writing a full article again.
