Five Random Facts at 5:00 for Monday April 5

Here are some random facts for you . . .

1. TheWright Brothers didn't really pioneer flying together. Wilbur did basically all the work . . . but gave Orville half the credit so his feelings wouldn't be hurt.

2. NSYNCdidn't just get its name because the guys were "in sync." It uses the last letter of each of the five original members' first names: JustiN,ChriS,JoeY,JasoN, andJC. But Jason was replaced by Lance Bass, which screwed it all up.

3. Pez dispensers were designed to look like cigarette lighters . . . because they were supposed to encourage people to stop smoking and have a mint instead.

4. Macaulay Culkinwas the first child actor ever to get $1 million for a film . . . he got that for his role in"My Girl".

5. The "Get Out of Jail Free" card from Monopoly was a real thing. In England in 1567, there was a lottery to raise money for the navy, and the winner got a "get out of jail free" card to excuse them from everything but the most serious crimes.
