Gleanings from Wits and Wagers, a party game that lives up to its hype:

Amelia Earhart disappeared in 1937

Magellan began his circumnavigation in 1519

There are around 60 unprovoked shark attacks every year

(No numbers for provoked shark attacks)

NBA players make an obscene amount of money

The oldest woman on record was 122

The tallest woman was 8 feet, 1.75 inches

Americans each eat 150 pounds of potatoes in a year

FDR was president for a very long time

But only about half as long as Mandela was in jail

The U.S. hosted 6 Olympic games in the 20th century

Extras in Jaws were paid $64 to run screaming across the beach

And something about dwarf-tossing, although that may not have actually been in the game.

It's almost like a poem, don't you think?
