PePes was known to be a popular pizza for the President around 1993-1999. The man supposedly had pizzas flown in to the White House.
In 2006, the wife and I went to Connecticut on business and stopped in. Good stuff!

Every second of every day, McDonald’s sells approximately 75 hamburgers. Also, the average corn on the cob has an even number of rows. Typically, that’s 16.

Sharks have been around for at least 420 million years, meaning they have survived four of the “big five” mass extinctions. That makes them older than humanity, older than Mount Everest, older than dinosaurs, older even than trees.

The 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens reduced its summit by 1,300 feet, and the lateral blast traveled at over 300 miles per hour, destroying 230 square miles of forest (and killing thousands of animals). The blast reached temperatures of 660 °F. Volcanic activity between 2004 and 2008 caused lava to ooze onto the crater floor, restoring 7% of the volume lost in 1980.
