Some random tidbits I've collected:
- It seems that the universal minimum age for riding an elevator alone is 14.
- The deeper magic in Harry Potter is quite similar to that in the Chronicles of Narnia (and Jesus, for that matter).
Some people hang baby shoes near the exhaust pipe of their car. I'm assuming it's for luck, but I'm not sure. (It is somewhat visible in the picture.)- There's no point on going off roading in a jeep if one doesn't get a flat tire.
- King Herod was a perfectionist.
- Carob seed were considered to have uniform mass and were used to measure weights before standardized measurements; the word carat is derived from carob (a metric carat is just over three carob grains or 200 mg).
