Fun Facts

I wanted to share some of these "Fun Facts" which, of course, are not facts but they are kind of fun. This is from the latest book by David Letterman and his team of writers entitled, Late Show Fun Facts:

  • Conspiracy theorists believe that 'I Can't Believe It's Not Butter' is indeed butter.
  • "Al Jazeera" is an Arabic term meaning "the jazeera."
  • Until a 1960 Supreme Court ruling, the artificial sweetner Equal was called Seperate but Equal.
  • In the wake of a 1992 violation, New York State revoked the Beastie Boys' "license to ill."
  • In the 1800's, atlases did not include maps of Florida because it was "too suggestive."
  • The "K" in "Kmart" stands for "Kmart."
  • According to the FAA, God is not licensed to be a copilot.
  • The eulogy at Saddam Hussein's funeral was delivered by Pat Sajak.
  • Around the world, every 23 seconds someone is having sex in a carpet store.

Hope you enjoyed these, I'll try to do it again.

I'm sorry, but I just do not find Dave's schtick that funny anymore. I do realize that it is satire and it is meant to be funny, but I just do not find it to be that.
