Hope you don’t mind....I just stole that little “factoid” and put it up on my Facebook! Thanks.
I don’t mind at all, get it out there as much as you can, but you need the source.
Before you take a position of promoting a piece of data, you have to be prepared to show your source if challenged, especially by a hostile challenger.

I think lawyers say, “never ask a question that you don’t already know the answer to”.
I’m a guy that loves to drop bombshells and unusual factoids, and I know to never drop a bomb shell or truly fascinating factoid, unless you are prepared for the obvious follow up questions, or obvious outraged challenges.
