Both the United States and Canada share the beauty of the Saint Lawrence River, including the Thousand Islands area. And while it’s certainly an impressive name, there are actually 1,864 islands of different shapes and sizes dotting the river.

Mobile, Alabama, holds the title of the wettest city in the contiguous United States, thanks to the average 67 inches of rain it gets each year over the course of an average of 59 rainy days. Pensacola, Florida, and New Orleans, Louisiana, come in second and third for their rainfall.

As far as national security goes, songs are typically fairly harmless. But back in the 1960s, parents across the country became upset by a rumor that claimed the song “Louie Louie” by The Kingsmen contained inappropriate subliminal messages. The FBI stepped in and spent more than two years putting the tune through various audio tests. And despite producing a 120-page report, the feds merely concluded that the song is “unintelligible at any speed.”

Scientists still aren’t sure how, but crocodiles managed to outlive dinosaurs by 65 million years. In fact, crocodiles have always been so well-designed for survival, that modern crocodiles are hardly different than those found in fossils. Just a few theories about how they’ve managed to survive so long are based on crocodiles’ ability to go long periods without eating, their ability to survive in land and water, and the fact that they can adjust to cold temperatures easily.

That's the name of my Ralph Nader audio book spoof.
