1. Puppies are drawn to squeaky toys because they trigger the dogs’ natural hunting instincts. The sounds mimic the distress calls of prey animals.
2. The American flag Neil Armstrong planted on the Moon in 1969 was knocked over by the engine blast as soon as they lifted up to leave. Five more U.S. flags have been planted on the Moon since then, and NASA believes all of THEM are still standing.

4. As of 2009, the average person consumed the equivalent of more than 34 gigabytes of data and information every day. That’s roughly 100,000 words heard or read every day. (And it’s likely much more today.)
5. Wi-fi isn’t short for “wireless fidelity.” It’s actually not short for anything. The people who created it just liked that name because it rhymed with “hi-fi.”
