Things I learned lately 8 Mar

• There is a store in Amsterdam that specializes in rubber ducks. 
• The Onomichi City Art Museum in Hiroshima prefecture, Japan, has an ongoing battle with unwelcome visitors. Two of them, to be exact. They are Ken Chan and Gosaku and they are cats. The two cats have spent years trying to visit the museum, but are constantly thwarted by the security guard and other museum staff trying to enforce the museum's "no animals" policy. The standoff may have started off as a mere desire to see what's inside, but over time, both sides see the entry of the cats as a challenge. This is what happens when you tell a cat they can't do something.
• Michael Jackson, the late King of Pop, actually wanted to play Spiderman in the movies.
• From September 2017 to September 2018, Facebook identified and removed 2.8 billion fake accounts.
• The metre was originally defined in 1793 as 1/10,000,000 the distance from the equator to the North Pole (passing through Paris).
• Virtually the entire continent of South America is EAST of Florida (pictured).
• Paris is further north than Montreal.
• Most of Africa is NORTH of the equator.
• Brazil is bigger than the contiguous United States.
