The Detroit one is the one that stumps people. For me the biggest number that I am well aware of is 86,000 of course that is the number of seconds there are each day.
Found myself saying, out loud, “really??”
Well, those really were fun facts! Who knew? Actually, I did know two of those – do I get a fun prize? š The M&M one and the fact that Canada is south of Detroit. But goodness, I NEVER knew wombats had cube shaped poo!
