Do you compile these yourself or is it pre-curated and you are sharing? Of course my favorite one would be the punniest one: The best time of day is 6:30, hands down!

To be sung to the music of Pat Benetar’s HeartBreaker:

I'm a Curator

Aggregator, Procurer

Don't you mess around with me

I'm a Synthesizer

Compiler, Right Clicker,

Don't you mess around, no, no, no

Apparently, scorpion venom and horse semen are up there with ink as β€˜most expensive’. They probably wouldn't work so well in the printer, though ☺️

I love these factoids. Even though a few make me sad.

From now on, I will consciously try to weed out ones that may make people sad or are too controversial. I appreciate the comment, Thea.

When I hear about name changes for countries I feel like I missed the memo! Today it was 'Oh, so THAT'S what happened to Yugoslavia, how did I not know that?!' Sheesh!

Hopefully the folks stealing the beehives are putting them to good and proper use, it's an interesting thing to steal. I can't imagine thugs just tossing them in the back of their truck.

I agree. Those memo senders are slackers ;) There's is a bit of Yugoslavia history in this article https://pau1.substack.com/p/gods-rambo-and-the-ghost-camaro

You'd think the cops could use a sting operation to catch those thugs...(sorry)

In 2022, US Congress passed its $1 trillion infrastructure bill, which allocated,$7.5 billion to build out 500,000 EV charging stations.

As of last week, they've built 7 ... as in seven ... as in 1-2-3-4-5-6-7.

Tigers got nothin' on me! Why, I've got marks that look like ears on the back of my eyes so I won’t get somebody surprising me from behind whistling "Bohemian Rhapsody"......a death worse than fate!

Those were all good; do you know if the location of the giant banyan tree is a secret like the location of the tallest redwood?
