USELESS INFO TUESDAY

~  In 1952, a tiny listening device was found hidden in the American Ambassador's residence in Moscow.  It was beneath the beak of the bald eagle in a carving of the Great Seal of the United States that had been hanging behind the desk since 1945.  It had been presented as a token of friendship by a group of Soviet schoolchildren.


~  The Miami Dolphins were the first team to play in a Superbowl without scoring a touchdown.  It was Superbowl VI in 1972 against the Dallas Cowboys.  The final score was 24-3.


~  The White House had electric lighting installed in 1891.  Hawaii's Iolani Palace had it installed in 1887.


~  600,000 gallons of water flow over Canada's Horseshoe Falls at Niagara Falls per second.
