Interesting fact of the day

I encourage you to reply, but not more than once a day, with a interesting new fact. Let’s stretch this out instead of dumping all the interesting facts out all at once. (Btw feel free to comment on the interesting facts as much and as often as you want)

edit: posting a source for your fact is strongly encouraged.

  • 'Since the 1930s, letters addressed to Shakespeare's character Juliet have arrived in Verona. More than 5,000 letters are received annually, three-quarters of which are from women. The letters are read and replied to by local volunteers, organised since the 1980s in the Club di Giulietta (Juliet Club), which is financed by the City of Verona.'

  • People write to Sherlock Holmes at 221b Baker Street too. It's a bank. Baker Street didn't even go up to 221 when Sir Arthur Conan Doyle started writing the stories.
