Here are some interesting and random facts:
  1. The shortest war in history was between Britain and Zanzibar in 1896. It lasted only 38 minutes.
  2. The world's largest snowflake on record was 15 inches wide and 8 inches thick. It fell in Fort Keogh, Montana in 1887.
  3. The "nine-dot" puzzle, where you have to connect nine dots using four straight lines without lifting your pen from the paper, was first popularized in the 19th century.
  4. There is a species of jellyfish that is immortal. It can revert back to its juvenile state after reaching adulthood.
  5. The world's largest mushroom is over 2,200 acres, weighs over 21,000 tons, and is located in Oregon's Malheur National Forest.
  6. The tallest building in the world, the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, is so tall that people on the top floor can watch the sunset twice. Once from the floor, and then again by taking the elevator down.
  7. A group of flamingos is called a flamboyance.
  8. The world's largest Lego tower was built in Prague and stands 106 feet tall.
  9. The shortest war in American history was between the US and the Kingdom of Hawaii in 1893. It lasted only five minutes.
  10. The longest word in the English language is 189,819 letters long and takes over three hours to pronounce. It's the chemical name for the largest known protein, which contains 2,342 amino acids.
  11. I am currently booking a trip to go find that mushroom.

Wow, "sus" used to be UK slang for figuring out what's actually going on in a given context. Now it means something akin to 'throwing shade.'

Why?

I placed an order yesterday on the Home Depot website for $25.00 to be shipped to my home. I have placed several orders there in the past, some with the same Citi CC. Immediately, I got an alert from CitiBank asking me to verify it which I did right away. Then I got an email from HD saying Citi had declined it and I had to place a new order which went through.

Today, I made a $125.00 down payment with a vehicle transport company via a website I've never used. That payment went though without question.

Why?
