    It takes 17 muscles to smile and 43 to frown. Unless you’re trying to give your face a bit of a workout, smiling is a much easier option for most of us. Anyone who’s ever scowled, squinted or frowned for a long period of time knows how it tires out the face which doesn’t do a thing to improve your mood.

    Let's just say that at that age, you won't be celebrating as you might think.

    So you're saying I won't get cake? :'(

    Apple makes $1,997 every second. Additional fact, they made $5,991 while I typed that on my iPhone.

    it's a lot more now...$229.234 billion/(365/24/60/60)=$7,268 per second.

    Microsoft Excel "says" that there are 365.24 days in a year because every four years there's a February 29th and every 100 years there's another leap day.

    Science has found that the happiest years in a person's life are 23 and 69. 23 because they are still hopeful and it is all ahead of you. 69 because most people are still healthy and have enough money to do what they want - like go to Hawaii for just the weekend.

    In Houston, Texas, there is a weird law that says that you cannot buy beer after Midnight on Sunday, but you can buy beer on Monday.

    Another weird Houston law states that you legally cannot sell Limburger cheese on Sunday.
