My head is filled with random facts of God knows what. People always seemed amazed by the pointless knowledge so I started putting them down on my facebook on Fridays. Then I decided why not have somewhere to post them for others to share and see on days besides Fridays.

In Honor of Unicorn Appreciation Day...
In 1577, Queen Elizabeth was presented with a narwhal tusk and told it was the horn of a unicorn. At the time it was valued around 25-40,000 pounds which is about 1.75 and $3,000,000 in today's currency . It is still considered a royal treasure. (I still think its a unicorn horn and refuse to believe otherwise)
