4 Fascinating Facts That Fortuitously Fell on March 14

By Michelle Carr Crowe, Silicon Valley real estate guide selling homes in San Jose

Are you an inquisitive person who enjoys learning? If you’ve read my blog, you know one of the pastimes I enjoy is discovering new facts and interesting pieces of history.

I like to share intriguing stories from our local newspaper the San Jose Mercury News, as well as my favorite print and online magazines Mental Floss, the National Geographic Society or  Smithsonian Magazine. Other times I find articles or facts online at  The History Place, Brainy History,or Dates In History. These events for today’s blog post are primarily from Wikipedia.

While these fascinating facts are intriguing, they have nothing to do with my real estate business, helping people like you buy and sell homes in Silicon Valley, Calif. (San Jose, Saratoga, Cupertino and beyond). I admit, they just add fun and fascination to life.

Here are today’s 4 Fascinating Facts That Fortuitously Fell on March 14. I hope you find them interesting, too.
