Lobster & butter. Delicious!Legal Seafood Clam Chowder Has Been Served at Every Presidential Inauguration Since Ronald Reagan. During former President Ronald Reagan's first inauguration in 1981, he insisted that food from every state be included. Legal Sea Foods' clam chowder was to represent Massachusetts and has been at every inauguration since then. President Donald Trump nearly ended the tradition, until it was decided days before his inaugural ceremonies to serve the dish. Who knew?

There's a LEGO bridge in Germany that you can walk across. The German town of Wupperttal is home to Lego-Brücke, also known as LEGO Bridge — a bridge that looks like it's made of candy colored LEGO bricks, providing a foot and bike way for those looking to cross over the street below. Despite appearances, the bridge is not made of giant plastic bricks however, but concrete, and it was painted to look like the popular building toys by street artist Martin Heuwold. Who knew?

Who Knew??? On September 27th, National Crush a Can Day dedicates time to educating the country about the benefits of recycling. Aluminum cans are the second most recycled material after steel in the United States. Not only is aluminum 100% recyclable, but it also uses 95% less energy to recycle an old can into a new one. However, we still throw out more than 1 million tons of aluminum each year. Unlike some recyclables, aluminum can be recycled over and over.
Interesting Facts: If you laid all the aluminum cans recycled in 2010 end to end, they could circle the earth 169 times. The U.S. recycles about 65% of its aluminum. In America, 105,800 cans are recycled every minute. Your television can run for 3 hours from the energy saved by recycling one can. In 2019, an aluminum can was worth about 1.7 cents. The industry pays more than $1 billion annually for recycled cans.

The Goodyear Blimp is the official bird of Redondo Beach, California. The Goodyear Blimp is nothing short of iconic, but we wouldn't classify it as a bird. Still, that didn't stop Redondo Beach — a coastal city situated near the Goodyear Blimp's home airport in Carson, California — from passing a resolution in 1983 to make the blimp its official bird.
