Speaker 2 (01:25):
Comics what There has never been a United Nations Secretary
General from North America. They've all come from other countries

it happen.

They all operator act like that so that they always
strive for better. If you don't know, they've been around
for thirty years, but they're mostly known for computer graphic chips,

Speaker 4 (02:10):
It's amazing. Number four.
Speaker 2 (02:11):

Speaker 2 (02:21):
Number three, redheads have less hair on their heads than

Speaker 2 (02:32):

thousand strands of hair versus one hundred and ten thousand
strands for blondes and one hundred and forty thousand strands
for brunettes. But red hair is thicker than the other two.

Okay, okay, okay, all right.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
Cassieu is Clay, you know, the boxer. He never legally
changed his name to Muhammad Ali well, and that was
mainly because in the nineteen sixties. You didn't need to
the Social Security Administration didn't require a legal change to
switch your info on your Social Security card.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
So that's how it was there.
Speaker 4 (03:18):
You go, all right, next one, look look look at it.
Look look at this. Number one.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Woody Harrelson, the actor. His father, whose name was Charles,
was actually a hitman. He was convicted of killing a
federal judge in Texas in nineteen seventy nine. He worked
for the mob, and he passed away in federal prison
doing a life sentence.

Speaker 2 (03:45):
The stem of a pumpkin has a name. I call

Speaker 3 (03:57):
Broccoli is man made.

There's no way there's a vegetable. How is that?
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Well, they took the carefully bred wild kale that had
the right traits.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
But why would you make a vegetable that tastes so awful?
I don't know. But cauliflower and brussels sprouts are man
made too, let.

Number one and the name Gary is only popular thanks
to the actor Gary Cooper Gary Cooper, but his name
was actually Frank Cooper, but he adopted the first name
Gary after the city of Gary, Indiana. It wasn't a
well known or popular name because it sounded like a
tough place, and he wanted to be tough, so he
picked up the name Gary.

Makes sense to me. I'm so glad they patented it.
Speaker 2 (06:34):

box jellyfish after you. Oh no, because they're not only
the most venomous jellies to humans, but they also have

what gives it its orange color, like.

Carrots and sweet potatoes.
