Day 20 - Completely Blank

I've been trying for 20 minutes to come up with something to say and I am drawing a complete blank.  Maybe its because its Friday and I want to go home to my kids, or maybe because its raining and overcast and depressing outside.  But the fact is I'm blank.  So here are some useless facts for your reading pleasure:
1.  The sentence "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" uses every letter in the English language.

2. 111,111,111 x 111,111,111 = 12,345,678,987,654,321

3.  A rhinoceros horn is made of compacted hair.

4.  The shortest war in history was between Zanzibar and England in 1896. Zanzibar surrendered after 38 minutes.

5.  Donald Duck comics were banned in Finland because he doesn't wear pants.

6.  More people are killed by donkeys annually than are killed in plane crashes.

7.  The name of all the continents end with the same letter that they start with.

8.  Peanuts are one of the ingredients of dynamite.

9.  February 1865 is the only month in recorded history not to have a full moon.

10.  China has more English speakers than the United States.
