The Unbelievable Chicken Fact
Did you know that in Gainesville, Georgia, it is illegal to eat fried chicken with anything other than your fingers? Yes, you read that right!

Don't worry, it was all in good fun, but it does make you think twice about reaching for that fork and knife, doesn't it?
The Whistling Carrots
Carrots that whistle, say what?! Scientists at Oxford University have found that if you boil a carrot long enough to create a small hole in the middle, it can actually whistle when blown into. Let's just hope no one tries to form an all-carrot orchestra anytime soon.

Buckle up for this final crazy fact. There's a piece of music that has been playing non-stop since 2001! John Cage's composition 'Organ²/ASLSP' is set to play for 639 years. The organ it's played on was specifically built for this performance in Halberstadt, Germany. The last note change occurred in 2020, and the next one will happen in 2022. Now that's a long play!
