If you were to spell out counting from 1 and up i.e. One, Two, Three.....

You would get to 1000 before using the letter "A".

This excludes "and" i.e. "One Hundred Eleven" and not "One Hundered and Eleven". Just spell the numbers.

Fact!

Your feet are bigger in the afternoon than any other time of day.

Can I just point out that that isn't technically a fact at all - you're ASSUMING that all people get up in the morning and are using their feet in some kind of way ie walking / working a 'normal' shift pattern etc. If you work a night shift say 11-30PM to 8AM at a hospital i would imagine your feet are biggest at 4AM - 8AM...

Pedantic?!
