Things I learned lately 11 June

• California's DMV only lets you get the number 69 (separated by a space from the rest of the characters) on your license plate if your car is a 1969 model year.
• Volkswagen makes an entry-level model called the Gol. It's not sold in Canada or the US, it's sold in 'emerging markets'. For people that don't give a 'f'. Get it? Golf without the 'f'.......
• Engineers designed wind resistant railings for the pedestrian sidewalks on the Golden Gate Bridge, but now when wind passes through it, it makes an eerie howling sound that can be heard for miles. They're basically calling it the David Lynch bridge now.
• Before he wrote Goosebumps, R.L. Stine wrote the jokes for Bazooka Joe gum wrappers.
• Blood donors in Sweden receive a thank you text when their blood is used.
• Bubble gum is pink because that was the only food dye available in the factory where it was made.
• Newborn elephants suck their trunks for comfort.
