Thought a listing of random factiods would be interesting. Please add your own.
Factiod: The Oldest Working Light Bulb. 104 years and counting, for the 4watt bulb at fire station #6 in Livermore, CA. It has been in continual use (albeit interrupted by a couple of power outages and moves) ever since it was first switched on in 1901.
Factiod: The average time a convicted murderer (in the U.S.) would get if the victim was:
Unemployed---9.3 years
A prior violent offender---9.6 years
Under 12 years old---11.4 years
A black man---11.6 years
A white man---14.7 years
A black woman---17.1 years
Over 65 years old---18.6 years
A white woman---19.0 years
Factoid: As reparations for "lost profits" due to the ongoing conflict in Iraq, Iraq has paid:
$18 million to Haliburton
$3.8 million to Pepsi
$2.6 million to Nestle
$1.6 million to Shell
$321,000 to KFC
$189,449 to Toys "R" Us

Factoid: Longest distance a frustrated cell phone user has thrown their cell phone. 222' 9" by Nico Morwa of Germany.
