Here are this past week s fun facts and trivia from Believe it or No:
The first place in the U.S. to use 911 as its emergency number was Haleyville, Alabama in February of 1968. The second place was Nome, Alaska a few weeks later.
The first in-flight movie was called Howdy Chicago! , and it was shown on a plane in 1921. It was technically not a feature length film but a commercial for Chicago. Keep in mind, this was also well before TV’s were common household appliances, so it was actually shown from an old-school projector onto a screen at the front of the plane.

Check Out This Crazy Ice Road Over Lake Superior [WATCH]
Did you know there s an ice road over Lake Superior?!
I don t know how I d never heard of the Madeline Island Ice Road before. Maybe I hadn t heard of it because it s technically in Wisconsin. According to VisitAshland.com, the Madeline Island Ice Road connects mainland Bayfield, Wisconsin to Madeline Island two miles away. In warmer weather, Apostle Island s largest island is accessible only by water ferry. But as Lake Superior freezes over in the winter, the ice becomes cold enough and thick enough for vehicles to cross over for walkers, skiers, skaters, bikers and even vehicles! The Madeline Island Ice Road is monitored several times a day to track its conditions and safety. Drivers must observe normal rules of the road. The route is marked with old Christmas trees placed at intervals for drivers of cars and light trucks to follow.
