Friday's fascinating fact:

Today is Tell The Truth Day. There's so much dishonesty in the world these days that we're often left wondering what life would be like if we could only ever tell the truth. Tell The Truth Day is dedicated to exploring this idea, so whatever you do today, don't go telling any lies.
