Many of you might already know this, but I just recently found this out and my mind is still blown that I never noticed this before. So hopefully there are at least a few people to whom this will be a revelation!
The FedEx logo is one of the most recognized in the world. But did you know there is an arrow "hidden" in plain sight within the logo? Between the "E" and the "x"
If you already knew, then never mind! If you are like me, and never realized it before despite seeing this logo thousands of times, don't worry. You will see it every single time you look at it from this day forward.

Former New Jersey governor Chris Christie, who left office a little over a week ago, became the first New Jersey governor to not break a leg while in office since the 1990's.
In 1999, former governor Christine Todd Whitman broke her leg while skiing in Switzerland. In 2004, her successor Jim McGreevey broke his leg after a fall. And in 2007, his success Jim Corzine broke his leg in a car crash. Christie likely broke the record for fastest decline in approval ratings, but he didn't break his leg!
As a side note to this, the ex-governors all kept their broken legs in step with their political leanings. Whitman, a republican, broke her right leg. McGreevey and Corzine, both democrats, fractured their left legs.

Wolves have about 200 million scent cells. Humans have only about 5 million. Wolves can smell other animals more than one mile (1.6 kilometers) away.

English author George Eliot, who wrote such classics as Silas Marner, Middlemarch, and Daniel Deronda, was one of the leading novelists of the Victorian Era. However, unbeknownst to everyone at the time (and many still today), George Eliot was just a pen name. Eliot's actual name was Mary Anne Evans.
She chose to use a male name believing it was the only way her works would be taken seriously.

This cracked me up. Thanks for being such a loveable nut, Kacey.
The North American gray wolf population in 1600 was 2 million. Today the population in North America is approximately 65,000. The world population is approximately 150,000.
This fact makes me sad...
