In 1949, the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce began a contract with the City of Los Angeles Parks Department to repair and rebuild the sign. The contract stipulated that "LAND" be removed to spell "Hollywood" and reflect the district, not the "Hollywoodland" housing development |

UPDATE: Lee's Health
Saw Dr. Rebecca. Was concerned that I might have either a blood clot or a collapsed vein in my right leg. Made a few phone calls, pulled some strings and got me an immediate ultrasound appointment. Did the whole up and down the leg with the US thingee and low and behold . . . no clot, veins are fine. Once again my Lymphoma has reared it's head . . . I have an infection in my leg. You have to understand that when that's the prognosis it's like telling the average person he has a pimple. No Big Deal. I have on hand at all times at least a 2 weeks supply of heavy duty antibiotics. I get infections like you guys get the sniffles. So once again a horse pill every 12 hours for at least a week. Have another appt. this Thursday for a follow-up. Dr. said the swelling should begin to go down in 2 or 3 days. |

Princeton University has been around since 1746, but the school didn't start officially awarding doctorates until 1879. And though it took more than a century for the university to formally begin graduate studies, it actually had its first graduate student back in 1771. His name was James Madison—the fourth president of the United States. |

The long arms of Mongolian herdsman Bao Xishun—who, at 7', 8.95", was the tallest man in the world in 2006—saved the day when a pair of dolphins were found to have swallowed plastic shards that could not be extracted from their stomachs using standard instruments. Bao's unusually long arm proved a more effective tool and saved the lives of both creatures. |

Arrector pili muscles, fan-shaped muscles at the base of each hair follice, are responsible for goosebumps: These muscles contract when the body is cold in an effort to generate heat and cause a person's hair to "stand up straight" on their skin. |

In 2016, the iconic sparkly dress that Marilyn Monroe wore to serenade President John F. Kennedy on his birthday sold for a staggering $4.8 million at auction. This remains the world record for the most expensive article of clothing ever sold, beating out the record previously held by… another one of Monroe's dresses, her costume from The Seven Year Itch. |

The DeLorean was not always the way Marty McFly was supposed to travel to the past. As /Film recounts, in the original draft of Back to the Future, the time machine was attached to a refrigerator, and "taken to the Nevada desert test site for the atomic bomb, where it was strapped into the back of a truck and driven into the atomic explosion in order to harness the power from the nuclear explosion. Marty had to climb into the fridge as the truck barreled towards ground zero." |

Le Palais Idéal is an 85-foot-long, 33-foot-high castle 30 miles south of Lyon made from rocks that a 19th-century French postman picked up during his mail route over the course of 34 years. Despite having precisely zero formal architectural training, he built the massive structure himself, complete with pillars, grottoes and flying buttresses—and visitors still go out to view it today. |

All those Kit Kat bars that are somehow made imperfect during production—due to air bubbles, weirdly shaped wafers, or some other issue—aren't tossed out, but instead ground up into a fine paste and turned into a filling that's then incorporated back into the production process to create new Kit Kat bars. It's the circle of candy life. |

Of all the organs in the human body, the liver is the only that can regenerate on its own. As researcher Richard Bowen explains, "The liver has a remarkable capacity to regenerate after injury and to adjust its size to match its host. Within a week after partial hepatectomy, which, in typical experimental settings entails surgical removal of two-thirds of the liver, hepatic mass is back essentially to what it was prior to surgery." |

Vikings were some of the toughest dudes in history, but they cared about their appearance enough that makeup was a standard part of their look, regardless of gender. According to the National Museum of Denmark, "A Spanish Arab who visited Hedeby around the year 1000 described how both men and women in the town wore makeup to look younger and more attractive |

The $5, $10, $20, and $50 bills have all been redesigned in the last decade or so, with the Federal Reserve adding color and watermarks to outsmart counterfeiters. But the dollar bill has remained unchanged since 1963. The reason why it's not been updated, according to the U.S. Treasury Department, is that this denomination "is infrequently counterfeited." But another possible reason to take into account is likely the lobbying done by the vending-machine industry, which would have to redesign its machines to accommodate new bills should the current design get an overhaul. |

The pyramid on the back of the bill represents the young United States, with 13 steps representing the original 13 colonies, and an unfinished top reflecting the growing and expanding the country still had to do. The "Eye of Providence" at the top represents an all-seeing god—but not, as some conspiracy theorists would tell you, the Illuminati. |
