The person who invented the Frisbee was cremated and made into frisbees after he died!

During your lifetime, you will produce enough saliva to fill two swimming pools.
The term hay foot, straw foot comes from marching. The recruits didn't know their left from their right, but they did know the difference between hay and straw. They'd tie a bit of hay on one leg and straw on the other so they could keep left and right straight.
Sherlock Holmes NEVER said "Elementary, my dear Watson."
In Doyle's own writings, then, the bit of dialog that comes closest to matching the famous Holmesian signature phrase is this exchange between Holmes andDr. Watson in the short story "The Crooked Man":
"I see that you are professionally rather busy just now," said he, glancing very keenly across at me.
"Yes, I've had a busy day," I answered. "It may seem very foolish in your eyes," I added, "but really I don't know how you deduced it."
Holmes chuckled to himself.
"I have the advantage of knowing your habits, my dear Watson," said he. "When your round is a short one you walk, and when it is a long one you use a hansom. As I perceive that your boots, although used, are by no means dirty, I cannot doubt that you are at present busy enough to justify the hansom."
"Excellent!" I cried.
"Elementary," said he.

UY Scuti - The largest known star in the galaxy
German astronomers originally discovered UY Scuti at the Bonn Observatory in 1860, but it wasn’t until astronomers observed UY Scuti through the Very Large Telescope in Chile’s Atacama Desert in 2012 that the star’s true size became well documented. Following this discovery, UY Scuti was officially named the largest known star in the galaxy, surpassing previous record holders such as Betelgeuse, VY Canis Majoris, and NML Cygni.

American Airlines saved $40,000 in 1987 by eliminating one olive from each salad served in first class. Probably True- Many news stories mention this tidbit when discussing Bob Crandall, the former chief of American Airlines who supposedly instituted this change. Granted, being repeated often doesn't make a claim true, but this one seems reasonable enough. consider just how many flights a major airline like American has per year, and how many salads they were serving back when they still served food. Now consider how small $40,000 is in the grand scheme of things for an airline that big. It's only the cost of a single employee, even less if you consider higher paid employees like pilots.
I've started trying to vet more of my trivia before posting. Some of it didn't pass the test. But everything on the internet is true right?
