TIDBITS of INTEREST, Pt. 15

DID YOU KNOW:

...That there are 1,450 different models of cars, SUVs and pick-ups on the market and 88% don’t have full-size spare tires? These instead have space-saver spares and even those are being replaced with canned air. Why though? Surprisingly it's not about saving money, but instead it’s about saving weight. Less weight means better fuel mileage.

...That Leap year does not occur every four years?

...That the story of Columbus discovering that earth was round was invented by Washington Irving?

...That Thomas Edison did not invent the light bulb?

...The needle on a compass does not point to the North Pole?

...That 2022 will see a lot of new electric vehicles introduced but oddly you may not be able to spot them? Most will be converted current models which will save manufacturers millions of dollars.

...That we predicted $5.00 gasoline at the pump by year’s end? In certain spots in the country, it has already reached $6.00 and one California northern city is even charging $8.00.
