Speaker 1 (00:00):
Let's take a look today at your random facts. And
I do them just because I think it's fun. It's interesting,
you know, you learn a little something. Did you know
that there are more public libraries in the US than
Starbucks or McDonald's, which you know, I thought, I thought
that was a good thing. It would require close to
two million mosquito bites in order to lose two leaders,

(00:20):
a life threatening amount of blood. Goodbye is actually a
shortened version of the phrase God Be with you. There's
a psychological theory it's called the Blue seventh phenomenon. It's
where the average person will say their favorite color is blue,
favorite number is seven, but no one's exactly sure why
those are both so popular. And Nicholas Cage picked his

(00:42):
last name based on the superhero character Luke Cage. His
real last name is Coppola, and his uncle is Francis
Ford Coppola, the director, of course, who made The Godfather.
That's a look today at your random facts.
