True Facts
Here's another website with a bunch of interesting stuff. Below are some of my favorites.

  • In 2002, women earned 742,000 bachelor's degrees. Men earned only 550,000 during the same year. The difference is growing so large that many colleges now practice (quietly) affirmative action for male applicants.
  • The day after President George W. Bush was reelected, Canada's main immigration website had 115,000 visitors. Before Bush's re-election, this site averaged about 20,000 visitors each day.
  • Oprah Winfrey and Elvis Presley are distant cousins.
  • More than 2,500 left-handed people are killed each year from using products that are made for right-handed people.
