Just 19 percent of 15- to 17-year-olds had jobs in 2018, compared with almost half in 1968, according to a Pew Research Center study published in November. It wasn’t much better for 18- to 21-year-olds: In 2018, 58 percent had been employed in the previous year, down from 80 percent in 1968, Pew says.

The Internet is the fastest-growing communications tool ever. It took radio broadcasters 38 years to reach an audience of 50 million, television 13 years, and the Internet just 4 years.

It is mathematically possible to build an actual time machine - what's holding us back is finding materials that can physically bend the fabric of space-time.

Out of all 118 elements found on the periodic table, Bromine and Mercury are the only two that are liquid at room temperature.

Being in a lot of meetings, I had set my pager to vibrate so that it would not disrupt the meeting by going off.

The only problem was that it felt to me like I was getting a little shock, so every time my pager went off I would go "Whoo!", even during the meeting.

Finally, after three or four times of this happening, the guys in the room were like "Seymore, we sure are glad you put your pager on vibrate so it would not be disruptive".

"Blue You've Never Seen" was a real paint name, for the AMC Rebel Raider.
