Hello My Earth Girls and Jeff Goldblums,

Today is blog #6 in the Factstravaganza!

1.) The dial on the prototype of the rotary telephone contained numbers 00, 01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06, 07, 08, 09, 10, 11, 12, and special character "Z."

2.) Frank Capra's beloved film 'It's a Wonderful Life' was originally conceived as a trilogy.

3.) Thomas Jefferson, who wrote the first draft of the Declaration of Independence, hid the document inside his dumbwaiter when he took writing breaks.

4.) Famed pirate Blackbeard, a fancier of Siamese cats, likely brought the breed to America more than 150 years before they were officially introduced.

5.) Gas chromatograph analysis of sediment cores from the bottom of Loch Ness supports the theory that a population of large creatures could live there.

6.) The space shuttle Challenger's "black box" was found on a Florida beach by a Norwegian dentist.

7.) In 1949, a Maine lobsterman slipped into a diabetic coma and was eaten by his catch.

8.) Most bank robberies occur on Tuesdays.

9.) Confusion was so rampant on the set of Lawrence of Arabia, whole sets were built and then dismantled before they were even filmed.

10.) Benjamin Franklin was challenged to more than a dozen duels in the course of his lifetime. He never accepted a single one.

This concludes today's fun facts, random knowledge and tidbits of trivial information smile. I hope you enjoyed your read.

<333 you all my butterfly kisses.

P.S. I put these blogs together a day ahead of schedule so that I hopefully do not re-use a fact.
