edge well thank you very much for coming back this is a second program this year in two thousand and nine and we've been planning we're going to be talking about many many different areas which i think should be very interesting i mentioned the last time that we're going to be looking at the stimulus and see exactly what kind of the effect that has on us and in fact some of the other things they are definitely things that haven't been caught in the school so why don't we start and we'll start with the the first program or the first slide today will include dealing with the medical facts the medical facts one in every twenty people have an extra rib eye only find a few years ago when in fact i was in the hospital but in fact that is something today where it used to be one in thirty in the late seventy's ok these are issues like i said that they seem to be relevant to what we're doing today but no one understands why the medical costs on things are coming up now one of the interesting things that you know parts of the body something that we all should know about but in fact we never seem to write the next slide to the next area that we have the space between your eyebrows ok what is it called it's called and we're going to thank jennifer for being the individual who's showing us this today ok that little space between there actually has a name i don't know why but hey you know it works some of the medical facts ninety percent of the population has been in the belly button this is always been a subject of conversation with the kids but we don't know why all right and once again we've gone ahead and used the model today to in fact demonstrate this this scientists have discovered one of the interesting facts of course you know people actually do study the hand and along with the hand they did and they studied the fingers and with the fingers they study other portions scientists have discovered that one of the things that they have come up with is that the longer the ring finger is on boys the last chance they will have of having a heart attack and of course i'm looking around the studio now and everybody is looking at their hands which is which is a positive thing smiling increases indoor friends in the body which makes people feel better peter stance is one of the largest horse per capita ownership of the country which is something that i found out when i got into only horses in the past and in fact one of the things that we deal with is called a twitch ok dealing with horses twitch is something that looks like a small baseball bat with a chain on the back of it that in fact goes around in the nose and there's a passage of endorphins around the horse's nose that in fact once you squeeze this down spreads back into his brain they in fact relax and enjoy themselves and that's fast we're going to be looking at now is international facts ok you can see the whole screen there but japan has a proxy two hundred buck a nose as a home to ten percent of the active volcanoes in the world all right that's two hundred volcanoes in the mountainous regions of japan and which is why almost seventy percent of the population lives along the coastal regions of course we found this out during world war two that this was very good and bad for us because of the fact that whenever the military planners were planning an invasion of japan they had to consider that they were going to get a population center no matter where they went while the next international fact that we have for you today the city of this campbell turkey is the only city in the and the two continents include york and asia once again a variable cornucopia of information here international facts continue to hurt spain means land of rabbits for good or bad if you're going to go to celebrate cinco de mayo you might want to pick up on your dancing one of the war time facts that we i don't know that we've ever mentioned this before but we're talking about the subject the shortest war in history was the war fought between england and then the bar after and it's as as a bar surrendered after thirty eight minutes all right tells you a lot there but their military one of the interesting things about this country those we do have an actual battle that was fought and lasted for a shorter period of time and april twenty five eighteen thirty six one of the shortest battles of any american conflict was between general santa ana and general sam euston at san just sent of which lasted less than twenty minutes this small battle was important and as you see by the number of mexican casualties rover's six hundred thirty killed two hundred eight wounded and seven hundred thirty prisoners on the mexican side the texican was only had nine killed or severely wounded and thirty with less than serious injuries now the importance of this battle one far beyond fan and of course thought he was in the pulliam of the west and he was out to conquer everything that he ran into wanted in fact he had the opportunity and he won the battle at the alamo he in fact chased or one of the chased on the general sam used in the forces of sam used in selected that jacinto because of the train and the fact that santa ana did in fact separate his forces and they won the americans or the texican who won the battle immediately the key there is very simple all right a t this battle general santa ana in fact went back grabbed got rid of his garbage general and was caught actually trying to impersonate a private because of the fact that he was caught he then surrendered the land known as texas and those mexican holdings that they had and southwest pennsylvania and in fact gave up that and because of that battle in fact lost the presidency of mexico now we're going to look at some american facts ok these are things that in fact have come up in san francisco cable cars are the only mobile national monuments that we have in this  country you see them on stage or on the on the t v many times but in fact they are considered a national monument the second fact that we have for you today is that the saudi alphabet only has twelve letters all right so if you ever watch a program from hawaii and they're singing songs that sound the words are very similar it's not necessarily how they say or the spelling of it it's how they say it the continuing facts that we have for you today the united states purchased russia for two cents an acre all right which came at that time to about seven point two million dollars which today is a low is a large amount of money but in fact then it was  the one eighth of the natural gross national budget of the united states the next fact we have is something that some sports enthusiasts will find interesting detroit michigan has more registered bowlers than any other city in the country i guess the auto industry leads itself well to i mean a lot of time in the hands i'm not sure in facts and bogs animal facts is that area that we're going to be looking at now there are some things that you just can't comprehend in life and these are some of them ok the biggest bug in the world is the goliath beetle ok which can weigh up to three point five ounces and could be four point five inches long the treacher love can live up to thirty years for you folks who haven't seen what a transfer looks like some of these are actually up to ten and twelve inches long animal facts continued say a swordfish to live up to twenty five years and can weigh as much as twelve hundred pounds all right this is an issue that you wonder why people going fishing for this have a hard hard time bringing him onto the boat the next one is something that no one seems to have the answer for a ducks quack doesn't echo and there's no scientific reason why they just can't figure it out i've checked almost fourteen different sources and no one seems to have it so an a gator can lose up or use up to three thousand teeth in a lifetime ok they keep falling out many of them fall out whenever they in fact bite one of their victims so in fact that's something that that is quite interesting i think you know it's always good to know that i don't need necessarily a dentist but in fact you can use one if you had one of those sets of teeth that's for sure the next animal fat that we have for you today a group of whales is called a pod or ok a group of geese is called a flock a gaggle of stein if they're in flight if they're in a wedge like b formation they can also be called a murder of geese and the last that i find interesting would be a group of elephants is called a herd or a parade it all depends on how they're marching the things we eat fact this seems to get people in trouble tomatoes and cucumbers are fruits it's a part of the fruit family and then your average american child whatever i was a duke am i in fact tend to the seminar one time whenever the corner for the city of pittsburgh happened to be there and doing a program of this question came up because as we were raised of course all of our parents said that if we chew gum it would never com would be stuck within the power stomach full of gum and in fact the question was raised to the corner if this was true and he stated it was not so for families who are out there telling your children that they swallow their gum that's going to stay with them forever sorry little known employment facts there are actually people who study laughter and they are called why who knows the next one gets a little more serious though immigrants in the united states illegally could take up to three hundred thousand out of the projected jobs or fifteen percent of the two million jobs that are now being created by the newly new tracks player finance projects this was largely due to even refine not being included in the recent stimulus package verifying of course being that which everyone every employer has to verify the social security number of the individual involved i want to make a note here that neither one of the pennsylvania senators voted to protect the event refining process or the american taxpayer during this recent vote for the stimulus bill this is going to be something that is evident in the near future because of the fact in the in and one of their offices i actually called they said that they were going to support it and they failed to ok one of the things that we have here coming the state of penna c was not noticed tennessee forever it was known as franklin before seventeen ninety six all right we're going to be taking a break now we'll come back and we have some more interesting information for  six hundred and twenty six thousand investors that's how many people s i p c has helped since my nine hundred seventy five hundred five million dollars over a half a billion dollars that's how much s i p c has made available from its reserves to help investors over fifteen billion dollars that's how much as sipc has made it possible for investors to recover what is a sipc it's a securities investor protection corporation and investors first line of defense in the unlikely event that a brokerage firm fails it doesn't happen very often but when it does s i p c is there for real people like me and me take the time to learn more about s i p c at w w w dot s i p c dot org for coming back with a short break but we're still on the facts of the states ok holy honolulu boast the only royal palace in the united states the the official residence of the hawaiian kingdom's last two monarchs and they were actually the brother who built the palace in the sister who in fact came in afterwards one of the interesting facts on the military aspect of hawaii is the fact if you are a resident of hawaii an join the military you have the right to request to be sent back to hawaii to serve your military tour of duty no matter what field you're in the matter if you're in the army navy air force marines coast guard or whatever at any time during your service you in fact have that right to go back another interesting fact well maybe not be that in arresting maine is the only state whose name has just one syllable yes when we get bored sometimes we at all these little things that's very is a state with the heaviest dependence on the dairy farming but it's very is home to eight thousand five hundred farms and almost over half a million dairy call's milk produced in pennsylvania and about one point five billion in farmer revenues every year sports facts and for pittsburgh i'm sure this isn't a major factor but sales of an ass of the increase by as much as twenty percent the day of the super bowl i'm sure that has nothing to do with the six super bowl championships the steelers won but this is interesting the super bowl was broadcast over one hundred eighty two different countries in the world this next one is going to be something different which in fact i hope you'll enjoy because it definitely has a samson goliath type thing going there early in one thousand nine hundred seventy three a college in pennsylvania was the school that if you were a track enthusiastic you attended all right this was the school that beat everyone they beat pitt penn state everybody all the time because of the fact that once again if you were the cream of the crop you went to that school and this is where the united states olympic team always selected members from due to them beating up everybody they were having a hard time trying to find people for their homecoming meet one of our what the school here in previous times about homecoming meet was held during basketball because basically football didn't work out well for us ross we had the same thing they in fact beat everybody pitt penn state harvard they would kick butt every year on every meet because of the fact that they were that good all right they had a meeting that was school industrial college or a high school this school arrived in one car including their coach and three of their track members ok on the bus to say lafayette sort of laughed at them because of the process at the end of the day the car all indian school except that the challenge beat the unbeatable lafayette at track each member of the carlisle school because there was only three of them running in fact had to run and that least six events during that day what the lafayette college did not realize is that three of the runners were jim thorpe frank mount thousand meter race and his record stood for fifty years all right this gives you an idea that just because the group doesn't love big believe me they can whenever i wrestle here peter sounds we used to hate to wrestl after while jim thorpe was attending the first day at school at carlisle he came out in dress clothes and they had the high jump set up in street clothes and went over six foot so in fact they figured it was going to be a pretty good opportunity to have track and field there ok the next fact we're going to look at is geographical over thirty three percent of the land in the united states is covered by forest ok this does not of course  include any of those areas a this is the latest thing i think it was one two thousand and seven figures but in fact because of the recession i use that term very lightly the development has in fact slowed down so it looks like that percentage is going to stay very close to what it is for the next few years the next year a graphical fact which will x absolutely be the point of tongue in the conversation of the next party is wherever a person is stands in michigan there  further than eighty five miles from one of the great lakes once again we just keep on coming up with the facts here to just keep you just on the edge of your seat the echo facts ok and average home creates more valdez had crashed into the shore in alaska that was so very important to clean it up the next area we're going to look at is strange financial facts it cost the city industry one hundred million a year for theft committed involving vending machines the next one is the largest united states bill that is made is a one hundred thousand dollars bill and you see that handsome gentleman he happens to be woodrow wilson more money facts you'll see on the screen the umble unlucky number thirteen appeared eight times on the

start off with a hundred dollar bill a package of one hundred dollars that's ten thousand dollars glitter not that little package right there is a million dollars it can be stuffed into a grocery bag measly one million looks a little impressive little more respectable one hundred million is on a pallet and a billion dollars now we're getting somewhere it's not a practically a palace one trillion
