5 RANDOM FACTS: Wednesday September 24th
1. "Sugar rushes" aren't real and are just psychological, or a "cultural effect of parental influence." Sugar does not affect behavior or cognitive performance.

Sugar CRASHES, however, are a real thing, but medically, it's rare. According to doctors, only "about 5% of us experience sugar crash." You're more likely to experience it if you do a tough workout on an empty stomach.

2. There's an urban legend that you swallow eight spiders a year while you sleep, but it's not true. Almost every single person will swallow ZERO in their lifetime. It was made up by a writer making FUN of stupid urban legends and gullible people.

3. An average of seven people DIE from spider bites every year in the United States, and three times as many people will be killed by COWS annually.

4. Matt Groening wanted to make a live-action "Simpsons" spin-off in 1994. But one of the reasons it fell through was that the network said it would be too expensive to pay for a joke in the pilot featuring a bunch of trained beavers.

5. Nothing with less than 10% alcohol was considered an alcoholic beverage in Russia. Until 2011, these beverages were classified as regular food. And that included almost all beer.

1. People used to get their feet X-rayed at the shoe store to check their shoe fit. These wooden radiation cabinets were called "shoe-fitting fluoroscopes."

2. A fear of the number 666 is called hexa-kosioi-hex-ekonta-hexa-phobia. Ronald Reagan had it.

3. Guitar Center was called "The Organ Center" when it was founded in 1959, and it sold small appliances and home organs. The name was changed to Guitar Center in 1971.

4. Eating 10-and-a-half cups of sugar at once could kill you.

5. Soybeans were named after soy sauce, not vice versa. The word "soy" comes from the Japanese word for the sauce, "shoyu". Not for the Japanese word for the beans themselves, which is "daizu."

5 RANDOM FACTS: Monday September 22nd

1. The idea of "free refills" dates back to American coffeehouses in the 19th century, but Taco Bell is credited with being the first fast food chain to make it mainstream in 1988. It didn't hurt their bottom line, because Pepsi bought Taco Bell 10 years earlier.

2. Marilyn Monroe was born the same year as Hugh Hefner. She was born June 1st, 1926, and he was born two months earlier, on April 9th.

3. "Game of Thrones" and "Friends" had roughly the same budget, at $10 million per episode. "Friends" cost that much, even two decades earlier, because the cast's salaries were so high.

4. Al Green's "Take Me to the River" was a big hit, but it made its biggest chunk of royalties from being the song that's sung by the Big Mouth Billy Bass electronic fish.

5. Some of the only people who can legally bring switchblades into the U.S. are people who are missing an arm.
