If you’re like me, you hold on to trivial (aka useless) knowledge in the event a perfect conversation happens wherein dropping this knowledge will make me look like I’m smarter than I am, then here are some facts to commit to memory...
- Taylor Swift holds the record for the most CONSECUTIVE Number One albums with 14. Kanye West and Eminem have had 11 in a row. Jay-Z has had 10 and The Beatles had a streak of nine.
- Harrison Ford’s pay for doing the first “Star Wars” was $10,000. He made 50 times more than that for “Return of the Jedi” - $500,000. And 2,000 times more than that for “The Force Awakens” - $20 million.
- There are still approximately 1.1 MILLION Americans who don’t have INDOOR PLUMBING . . . and use an outhouse or a hole in the ground.
- The U.S. Constitution is the only constitution from the 1700s that’s still in use today. Every other country has one that’s more recent.
- Philadelphia is the only city that’s had four major sports teams in a championship game in the same year... In 1980, the Phillies were in the World Series, Eagles in the Super Bowl, 76ers in the NBA Finals, and Flyers in the Stanley Cup Finals. But . . . only the Phillies won the title.
