"There's more gold in the sun than water in our oceans." - All of the discovered gold on earth can fit inside a cube 25 yards on each side. Doesn't seem that much, but gold is heavy and dense. A basketball court is 31.3 yards long.

So many mind blowing things. I don't know why I was so suprised about the price of the average Super Bowl ticket but I was🤣

A single cloud can weigh more than a million pounds! Amazing.

Thank you Paul!

How about this: 440 ppm is the reported concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere. That equals 0.044%. (NOT 4.44%, but one one-hundredth of that.) Of that 440 ppm of CO2, about 5% is man-made. And we're supposed to believe not only that man-made CO2 affects global temperatures, but that spending trillions of dollars to switch from gas-powered vehicles (to coal-powered electrical vehicles) to change any man-made change to that 5% of 0.044% will affect global temperature? Let me tell you about this great bridge I have for sale....

Any comments or facts regarding global temperature records are nearly useless. At BEST we've been reliably recording temperature on earth for 2-3 hundred years. Earth is 4.5 BILLION years old. 3 hundred years is less than a blip.

The elements that make up life on Earth, like carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus, and sulfur all come from dead stars. So Joni Mitchell and Carl Sagan were right ... all human beings are (literally) made from stardust.

Bookkeeping/bookkeeper ... the only word(s) in the English language with three consecutive double letters.

There! There's my contribution!

Hey, Paul ... I can always drop one of these mind-blowing facts at a cocktail party. Then again, I never go to cocktail parties. ;-)
