30 Fact: Producing a $100 bill costs more than double than making a $1 bill
You'd think that paper money is paper money, regardless of the amount printed on it, but that's not the case. According to the Federal Reserve, it costs 5.5¢ to make a $1 or $2 bill, but approximately 11¢ to make fives, tens, 20s, and 50s. But $100 bills cost 14.2¢ each to manufacture
31 Fact: Penguins used to be much bigger
Penguins are pretty cute, but would we think the same way if they were the size of humans? This is something we don't need to worry about today, but it turns out that approximately 60 million years ago these cold-weather birds used to be much bigger.
32 Facts: Human corpses can move more than one year after death
This sounds like something out of a horror film, but it's actually true: dead humans can move on their own more than one year after the person passes away. No, this doesn't mean they're zombies—scientists think it's likely caused by the body's ligaments drying out, shrinking, and contracting.
33 Fact: Most dolphins are right-handed
Approximately 70 to 95 percent of humans are right-handed, but favoring this side of the body extends to the animal kingdom as well. According to a 2019 study published in the Royal Society Open Science, dolphins also tend to primarily use the right sides of their bodies when they look for food.
34 Fact: Texas has the highest average number of tornadoes in the United States

35 Fact: The Atacama desert is the driest place on earth (not counting the poles)
Located in Chile, the Atacama desert has an average rainfall of 5.08 mm (0.2 in) per year. However, when it does rain, it occasionally turns the desert into a lush landscape of flowers.

Good morning everyboomie.
I'm sure this will be a busy week for everyboomie out there. I hope it's a great one, and you all get lots of time with your families.
My son will arrive Monday. Not sure what we'll be doing yet. Will play it by ear.
We'll surely go see the last Star Wars, and maybe go shoot some targets with my handguns.
I may actually miss posting a day or two, but probably not.
Have a happy day everyone.
