2. There’s no documented case in history of a pirate making a treasure map.
3. Calling someone a chicken doesn’t make sense . . . chickens are actually braver than other birds.
4. The voice of Siri comes from a voiceover artist named Susan Bennett. She was hired to record a bunch of phrases and sentences by a software company in 2005. And Apple eventually bought both the software and the recordings.
5. From 1891 to 1911, Pittsburgh was spelled without an “H” at the end . . . because the U.S. Board on Geographic Names thought it was confusing.
