As a heavy consumer of news and other general facts, I have decided to share a few of the things I found out about today:
- Today is the United Nations International Day of Happiness.
- Since November in the UK, it has been possible for certain organisations to raise 'super-complaints' against the police. The second ever case of this was today.
- Mexico has only one legal gun store, with most of the guns used to commit crimes being smuggled in from the US.
- Saudi Arabia will soon be home to the world's tallest building, and it will be exactly a kilometre in height.
- Germany doesn't take part in the EuroMillions draw.
- William Shakespeare and Miguel de Cervantes died on the same day - 23rd April 1616.
- The capital of Kazakhstan has been renamed Nursultan after the President who resigned the post yesterday.
- Robots will serve food and drinks, and perform other duties at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.
- 90% of the royalties on Ariana Grande's latest single will go to the estates of Rogers and Hammerstein.
I hope these facts are of some interest to everybody out there. Until next time...
