The eye on an ostrich is bigger than its brain.

Stewardesses is the longest word typed solely with the left hand.

Your stomach must produce a new layer of mucus every two weeks.  Otherwise, it will digest itself.

In 1987, American Airlines devised a program which saved the company $40,000.  The program?  Remove one olive from each salad served in first class.

There are four cars and eleven lightposts on the back of a $10 bill.

Ranked 32nd on TV Guide's list of the "50 Greatest TV Characters of All Time," Jim Ignatowski was a character played by Christopher Lloyd in the 1970s television series Taxi. A burned-out product of 1960s counterculture, Ignatowski lived in a world of his own, often exhibiting "spaced-out" behavior as a result of his extensive drug use. However, Lloyd was able to add much humanity to what could have been a one-dimensional role

You can make great chip/kitchen clips out of those throwaway clotheshangers which come with new pants, etc.  Just saw off the clip on each end and throw away the rest.  They are much "tighter" than regular kitchen clips.
