^But it's Toy Day!
In 1898, Morgan Robertson wrote a novel called Futility. The plot of the novel revolved around the Titan, the largest ship ever built, sinking after hitting an iceberg in the Atlantic Ocean on a cold April night. Because the Titan was thought to be unsinkable, it was not carrying nearly enough lifeboats to rescue all of its passengers.
Note: The Titanic sank in April 1912.

^ The Titan in the book was indestructible and the best ship ever made (like the Titanic) And they were both going to the same place.

Lemons and limes come from the same tree. When a lime falls from the tree, a certain bacteria, "Cytomylemonsis" grows inside the lime, turning it yellow, making it sour, and slightly bloating it from the inside out.

^It tends to be faster if you've had enough practice. I use fairly standard typing techniques when I have both hands available, although I'm certainly not perfect in that regard.
