2. If you believe that you’re truly one in a million, there are still approximately 7,184 more people out there just like you.

4. The United States hasn’t even made it into the Top 50 list of longest-lasting empires.
5. 10 percent of the entire world population is still illiterate.
6. You thoroughly enjoy celebrating some pretty dark holidays.
For example Labor Day was created as a bandaid to coverup multiple massacres of American workers.
