FRASIER’S FRIDAY FACT

Volume LXVIII

Happy Friday!

Welcome back to Frasier's Friday Fact, where we cherish knowledge and continually build our mental database of useless information to use at parties.

Yesterday, as some of you may know, was Flag Day. I remember celebrating Flag Day in elementary school by learning the song "You're A Grand Ol' Flag," which I still manage to remember but yet I often fail to remember someone's name moments after it leaves their lips. Interesting.

Either way, here's a fun Flag Fact for today. The current design of the US Flag is actually th 27th, as the flag has been officially modified 26 times since 1777. Our current version of the flag, the 50-star one, is the one which has been used for the longest period of time - 57 years.

As long as we're talking flags, take a look at some comically bad local flags some time.  I'll leave you with one of my favorite bad ones - Milwaukee. To their defense, there is a movement to change it to the much cooler "People's Flag of Milwaukee," a design that evokes a sunrise over Lake Michigan.

Stay grand, my friends.
