This is a test…anybody out there?

I’m just gonna post some stuff for the hell of it cause nobody has posted in a while…

The world’s smallest country, Coral Sea Islands, is one of 13 states considered to have no economic activity.

In 1898 (14 years prior to the Titanic tragedy), Morgan Robertson wrote a novel called Futility. This fictitious novel was about the largest ship ever built hitting an iceberg in the Atlantic ocean on a cold April night. The fictional ship (named Titan) and the real ship Titanic were similar in design and their circumstances were remarkably alike. Both ships were labeled “unsinkable”.

Oak trees can live 200 or more years. The largest oak tree of record is the Wye oak in the community of Wye Mills in Talbot County on Maryland’s eastern shore in the U.S.A. It is believed to be more than 400 years old, and it measures 9 meters (~ 32 feet) in circumference, it is 31 meters (~ 105 feet) tall with a crown spread of 48.1 meters (~ 158 feet).

The dot over the letter ‘i’ is called a tittle.

The mask used by Michael Myers in the original Halloween was actually a Captain Kirk mask painted white.

That’s all I got.
