Every hour 12,500 puppies are born in the United States. Even a completely blind chameleon will still take on the colors of its environment. The Washington Monument sinks six inches every year. The Mona Lisa has no eyebrows. A sneeze can travel as fast as 100 miles per hour! These fascinating but useless bits of information were gleaned from David Louis’s 2201 Fascinating Facts.
