5 RANDOM FACTS: Friday July 25th

1. Cameroon got its name from the Portuguese word for "shrimp." (And the Portuguese name of the country is still literally Shrimps, or "Camarões.")

4. In Europe, Cool Ranch Doritos are called Cool American Doritos.

5 RANDOM FACTS: Wednesday July 23rd

1. Denver has an official mayor's residence that no mayor has ever lived in. It was donated to the city in 1998, and none of the five mayors since that time has opted to move in.

The first few get a pass. The mansion was built with a lot of strange features. Including a fire pole down the center of a spiral staircase leading to the master bedroom, elephant sculptures, and a pink piano. It was remodeled in 2012.

2. M&M's had a chance to be the candy featured in "E.T.", but they turned it down. Reese's Pieces jumped at the chance - and saw a 65% jump in profits.

3. If a Major League Baseball player catches a ball with their hat, the batter automatically gets a triple and anyone else already on base gets to score.

4. A stuntwoman fell 30 feet during the hoverboard chase scene in "Back to the Future Part 2". She broke bones in her face, arm, and hand - and that take made the movie.

5. The "Guardians of the Galaxy" soundtrack was the first soundtrack ever to make it to #1 on the Billboard chart that was entirely made up of songs that had been released before.
