Little known facts that blow your mind 6

Like for me, the fact that only 55 miles of ocean separate the United States (the furthest westward tip of Alaska) and Russia. I mean that just blows my tiny insignificant mind to pieces. I always think of Russia being a world away but technically, the closest points of each country is a short boat ride away.

Speaking of Alaska, another fact that boggles my mind is that Alaska, arguably the most beautiful and wildly rugged state in the US, was purchased back in 1867 for a measley 7.2 million dollars. Okay so sure back then 7.2 mil was worth way more than it is today -- roughly 120 million. But still, Alaska was bought for 2 cents an acre. Amazing.
What are some other odd facts that are amazing to you?

The fuck?
Put some salt and lime on them for a real treat, on corn tortillas at least.
Mango goes really well with cayenne pepper and salt, this is pretty common here but apparently it's not too well known in other countries?
If you get your braces done too quickly, the part that joins the teeth and the jaw weakens, so it's more likely a tooth will fall out at an earlier age.
All the kids who were born in the year 2009 (the year I registered) are now at least 10 and that scares me.
