The painting known as Whistler's Mother is actually called Arrangement in Gray and Black.

The average lead pencil will draw a line 35 miles long, or write approximately 50k english words.

The real name of the painting known as the Mona Lisa is La Giaconda. It's the portrait of a middle-class Florentine woman.

Tequila, indigenous to Mexico, is obtained from the agave which, contrary to myth, is not a cactus.

Audrey Hepburn's given name originally was Andrey. Andrey is a feminine form of Andrew. Belgian-born Hepburn changed the n to a u to become Audrey.

Camels store fat in the hump, not water. Baby camels are born without a hump, which comes later.
