The summit of Mont Blanc is in the Netherlands. How? Because a large chunk of it is in the Teylers Museum in Haarlem, having been removed from the mountain in 1787.

The term "Pin-up" was first used in English in 1941.
Pin-up girls can be defined as female figures who are alluring but never explicit.
Pin-ups got their name because, much like their calendar girl predecessors, these images were designed to be pinned up on walls and admired.

The population density of Canada is really low, with only 3 people per square kilometer of land mass. The current population is 41 million people. Canada has six time zones, which means that one quarter of the earth's surface is Canadian territory. Canada holds about 15 percent of all the fresh water, in the world, with over two million lakes in our country. JIMB.

The U.S. Supreme Court typically hears oral arguments in about 70-80 cases per year. While they receive thousands of petitions (around 7,000-8,000) for review annually, they have the discretion to choose which cases to accept. These numbers do not include emergency cases.
The only person to serve as President and Chief Justice of the United States was Ohioan William Howard Taft.

President Taft was a large man. So large that he once literally got stuck in his bathtub, needing a few guys to help him out.
We learned this one in High School, some book about fun facts about our Presidents.
I felt bad for him hearing this...can you imagine how embarrassing that was?
There was no Nutrisystem at the time.

I was told that my MIL once also got stuck in the bathtub, not because she was too large but rather a little immobile. Such things seem to happen often.President Taft was a large man. So large that he once literally got stuck in his bathtub, needing a few guys to help him out.

That's really interesting, @Jules! I always thought it was about location, too.
