3. The sounds from crunchy foods are actually tiny sonic booms because the food is breaking up at the speed of sound.

4. The USPS made stamps with the Statue of Liberty in 2011. But the picture they used was of the Statue of Liberty outside New York, New York Casino in Las Vegas. It's not clear if it was an accident, or they just used it because it was a better photo.
