1.  After a CURLING match, the winners are required to take the losers out for a round of drinks.  Even at the Olympics.  It's in the official rule book.

2.  "Old person smell" is real.  There's a chemical called 2-nonenal that's created by other chemicals in the body breaking down over time.  Old people secrete 2-nonenal which produces that smell.

3.  The word "mob" comes from the Latin "mobile vulgus."  That sounds like something sexual . . . but really means "fickle crowd."

4.  In the comics, Batman carried a chunk of KRYPTONITE on his utility belt at all times . . . just in case Superman ever turns evil.

5.  If you die in Amsterdam and you don't have any family or next of kin, a poet will write a poem about you and recite it at your funeral.
