The Supercar Registry - You Can't Make This Stuff Up!

This is Virgin Gorda, generally a ferry ride from Road Town, Tortola, BVI. Been there several times, and it's one of my favorite islands in the Caribbean. I recommend going if you get the chance.

If a statue in the park of a person on a horse has both front legs in the air, the person died in battle. If the horse has one front leg in the air, the person died as a result of wounds received in battle. If the horse has all four legs on the ground, the person died of natural causes.

Celery has negative calories! It takes more calories to eat a piece of celery than the celery has in it to begin with.

Black Friday as we know it actually got its start in the 1950s.

It's all thanks to the Philadelphia police. Back then tourists flooded into the city for the annual Army-Navy football game, according to History.com. Shoplifting became more of a threat due to big-time crowds, so the cops called the chaotic day Black Friday.

The rest of the country didn't make use of the term until the late 1980s. That's when retailers decided to take advantage of the opportunity in a more positive way, according to History.com, as it was usually the point in the year when they were actually able to turn a profit.
