In the spirit of C.A.N.I. (Continuous And Never-ending Improvement), here are this week’s new facts—one for each day of your coming week. Pass them on to others to keep the spirit alive or invite your friends and family to visit our blog where they can also view previous entries.

• A giraffe can clean its ears with its 21-inch tongue.
• Airport security personnel find about six weapons a day searching passengers.
• All 50 states are listed across the top of the Lincoln Memorial on the back of the $5 bill.
• Antlers and horns are not the same. Horns grow throughout an animal’s life and are found on both the male and female of a species. Antlers, composed of a different chemical substance, are shed every year.
• A turkey should never be carved until it has been out of the oven at least 30 minutes. This permits the inner cooking to subside and the internal meat juices to stop running. Once the meat sets, it’s easier to carve clean, neat slices.
• Bruce Lee was so fast that they actually had to slow a film down so you could see his moves.
• Elwood Edwards’ voice is heard more than 27 million times a day (which comes to more than 18,000 times per minute). Edwards is the man behind those special 3 words (not “I love you”): “You’ve got mail!”
