The last time I did Fun Facts people raved about how informative and funny they were so I wanted to start a new weekend tradition.
At Medieval Times dinner attractions, you eat with your hands because people didn’t use utensils in the middle ages. (medievaltimes.com)
Freelancers originally referred to self-employed, sword-wielding mercenaries: literally “free lancers.” (merriam-webster.com)
We shake hands to show we’re unarmed. (bbc.co.uk)
Although no longer connected to the beer company, Guinness World Records was founded by the managing director of Guinness Brewery in the 1950s. (guinnessworldrecords.com).
Michelin stars are highly coveted by elite and upscale restaurants the world over—but they’re actually given out by the Michelin tire company, the same one whose mascot is the marshmallow-like Michelin Man. If you want to get fancy, pronounce it in the original French, “mich-LEH.” (michelin.com)
Enjoy!

Fun facts are always interesting! Now I’m imagining eating with my hands and writers fighting with pens. But of course, we know the pen is mightier than the sword.

My favorite is “Freelancers originally referred to self-employed, sword-wielding mercenaries: literally “free lancers.” (merriam-webster.com).” But I also really liked why we shake hands.
