Did You Know?

Feeling kinda blah this Monday and couldn't think of anything good to write, so I bring you some "did you know's" (DC-themed):

- Mt. Vernon Washington grows more tulips than the entire country of Holland.
- The difference between male and female blue crabs is the design located on their apron (belly.) The male blue crab has the Washington Monument while the female apron is shaped like the U.S. Capitol.
- Original copy of the Declaration of Independence is lost. The copy in Washington D.C. is what is referred to as a holograph. That is a term for a handmade copy of a document and is not the same as a laser produced hologram.
