All porcupines float in water.

Hang On Sloopy is the official rock song of Ohio.

Did you know that there are coffee flavored PEZ?

The world's largest wine cask is in Heidelberg, Germany.

Lorne Greene had one of his nipples bitten off by an alligator while he was host of "Lorne Greene's Wild Kingdom."

Cat's urine glows under a blacklight.

St. Stephen is the patron saint of bricklayers.

The first song played on Armed Forces Radio during operation Desert Shield was "Rock the Casba" by the Clash.

The reason firehouses have circular stairways is from the days of yore when the engines were pulled by horses. The horses were stabled on the ground floor and figured out how to walk up straight staircases.

Non-dairy creamer is flammable.

The airplane Buddy Holly died in was the "American Pie." (Thus the name of the Don McLean song.)

Texas is also the only state that is allowed to fly its state flag at

Texas flag is false: If there are two flag poles, the Texas flag can be at the same level on a different pole. If both flags are on the same pole, the Texas flag is below the US flag. http://flagspot.net/flags/faq3.html

Some others that are true are porcupines floating (their quills are hollow), opossum's fainting, non-dairy creamers are very flammable, Ohio and "Hang on Sloopy" http://statenews.org/news/2002/july/opr-071102-03.html , Cat urine glowing but so does human urine.
