Three of the following are FACTS…one is a FIB (scroll down to find out which one!)
1. MLB uses an average of 84 to 120 balls per game . . . and approximately 900,000 per season. The league’s annual budget for balls is $10 MILLION.
2. When the U.S. became a country in 1776, China’s population was already over 300 million . . . which is around what America’s population is TODAY.
3. John Quincy Adams thought the Earth was hollow, and approved a journey to travel to the center of the planet to prove it. But he lost the next election to Andrew Jackson before it could happen, and Jackson killed the plan.
4. The guy who invented the Super Soaker water gun worked his entire career at a gas station that got held-up by gunpoint multiple times while he was working.
AND THE FIB IS…
4!
The guy who invented the Super Soaker water gun worked at NASA and helped develop the stealth bomber.
