Looking to expand his fan base, a young Elvis Presley landed a monthlong gig at Nashville’s Grand Ole Opry. Unfortunately, the booking didn’t last. After just one performance (on October 2, 1954), the management threw Elvis out onto the street because he wasn’t singing country “correctly.”
Elvis Presley’s hair was naturally a dirty blond color. He first dyed it in 1957, hoping to emulate his Hollywood idol, actor Tony Curtis.
While the crew of Apollo 13 didn’t get to make their scheduled Moon landing, they did set a record that still stands: they’re the humans who traveled the furthest distance from the Earth (nearly 250,000 miles).
Fish can taste with their fins and tail as well as their mouth.
The inventors of bubble wrap, Alfred Fielding and Marc Chavannes, were originally trying to make plastic wallpaper.
Most supermarkets place their bakery areas near the entrance, because studies have shown that the aroma of fresh-baked goods makes customers spend more money.
In 1911, Casimir Funk discovered the first vitamin, Vitamin B.
