Here are some fun facts I've learned, some while editing Wikipedia, some from other sources such as magazines/newspapers. As far as I know, they haven't been used as hooks yet (but should).

Did you know that...

  • ...In Kentucky it's illegal to coon hunt with a slingshot?
  • ...When Billy Gray decided to become a horse trainer, his wife said, "You have lost your everlasting mind"?
  • ...The town of Collinsville, Alabama annexed a large trade day so it could be within the city limits?
  • ...Al Capone's older brother was a federal agent?
