Strange facts

I'm making a long list of strange facts just because I thought it sounded fun and I was wondering if anyone knew some I could add. Here are a few samples of what I already have. NOTE: this is NOT the entire list.
-Most people dream in black and white.
-The narrowest street in the world has a width of only about 16 centimeters.
-The African elephant has only four teeth.
-The world's oldest person died at 152 years of age.
-It is illegal to plow a field with an elephant in South Carolina.

Hope you liked and/or didn't know most of these facts!
Thank you, #2, my mistake. Those are both right. But did you know that:
-The world's smallest baby ever to live long enough to leave the hospital weighed one ounce at birth?
-You can never die in your dream; you always wake up before it can happen?
-You can never die in your dream; you always wake up before it can happen?
-Most people dream in black and white.
Absolutely ridiculous in both counts. You don't make such broad statements when it comes to dreams and expect them to be true for everyone, always.
this is freaking amazing!
thanks, #5.
And #4, for the black-and-white dreams, did you even LOOK at #2? Get your facts straight before trashing other people.

4)The combination "ough" can be pronounced in 9 different ways.The following sentence contains them all:
