In honor of our #TriviaTuesday shows at our favorite Ham’s Locations in High Point. We’ve listed 10 random facts to pre-game with.
Enjoy!
1.
Horses
cannot breathe through their mouth. If their nostrils become obstructed, they
could suffocate.

in a bird's nest, is known as a "clutch."

from 1993 was directed by Michael Bay.
4. Giant squids have been known to feast
on baby whales.
5. The poinsettia, the red-and-green
flower commonly seen in Christmas arrangements, isn't snow-friendly; it's

Bayer held the trademark for the word “heroin” and sold the drug as a cough and
headache remedy. Lake Nicaragua is the only spot on Earth where freshwater
sharks swim in their native habitat.

ground to a halt when Congress refused to give him the dough to purchase the
island, believing that the president would take the money and skip the country.
8. Tire mogul Harvey Firestone gave
President Calvin Coolidge a pygmy hippopotamus in 1927. Today, many of the
pygmy hippos in US zoos are that one's descendants.
