Absolutely LOVE it! – Weird Facts 1000! Cool & True! Review

I got this app probably five years ago, when I got my first iPhone. Like many people, I loaded up on as many free apps as I could possibly get into memory the first day.

Because it's something I can do when I'm killing a minute in line at the store or waiting to meet someone. It's completely harmless. AND... Every so often, I come across a piece of random, seemingly useless information that I actually file away for the future. A couple years back, I stunned my boss with a fact - one actually related to my field - and he told me later it actually was a deciding factor on my promotion, as crazy as that sounds. How many people are actually aware that eggplant is a fruit and that they are technically classified as berries? Not him, evidently.

You never know...
