- 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.
