Welcome to Stuff I Learned Yesterday. My name is Darrell Darnell, I do not like cranberry sauce, and I believe that if you aren’t learning, you aren’t living. In today’s episode of Stuff I Learned Yesterday we’re back with another installment of the Friday Forum.
Today’s Fun Fact:
November is now over half way over. November is widely known as no-shave November. The idea with no-shave November is to save the money you’d normally spend on shaving, and donate that money for cancer research. I’m sure that many of the men listening to this have some nice beards growing, so in the spirit of no-shave November, here are some facts about beards.
- On average, a man’s beard will grow 5.5 inches per year.
- President Lincoln was the first President to sport a beard. In the 19th century, he popularized beards for all Americans. He grew his beard after an 11 year old girl had written him a letter saying he’d look better if he had one.
- The average number of whiskers on a man’s face is 30,000.
- Beards contain more germs than most toilet seats.
- In the Middle Ages, touching the beard of another man was a serious offence to his honor, and required a duel to settle the matter.
