Things I learned lately 14 Dec


  • The CEO of McDonald's earned 3,101 times the median worker in 2017 ($21,761,052 versus $7,017). Bear in mind that McDonald's runs stores around the world and in many places where the cost of living is very low.
  • Amazon's CEO - 59 times the median worker. Johnson & Johnson's CEO - 452x. Marathon Petroleum's CEO - 935x. Skecher's CEO - 1512x. Mattel's CEO - 4987x.
  • Keep the holiday greeting cards that you receive, and next year, cut up their covers to use as gift tags.
  • All 10 of the world's fastest growing cities between 2019 and 2035 will be in India.
  • Facial recognition cameras were used at a Taylor Swift's concert, in a bid to identify her stalkers. A camera was hidden inside a display kiosk and sent images of anyone who stopped to look at the display to a "command post" in Nashville, where they were cross-referenced with other photos of Swift's known stalkers.
  • Modern kevlar body armour was first created by a pizza delivery guy who was tired of getting shot at in Detroit.
  • The top 25 highest paid NHL players make a combined 267 million dollars per year.
  • Before creating film classics like "The Shining," Stanley Kubrick was working as a photographer for Look magazine (pictured).
  • A soccer match in Argentina was interrupted when a dog invaded the pitch and made a goal-line save like a good boy.
  • In 2016, KFC gave away 3,000 free bottles of Colonel Sanders' Extra Crispy Sunscreen. KFC CMO Kevin Hochman said, "Why not make it smell like fried chicken?"
