Number of bridges spanning the Amazon River ; Zero !
There are some good reasons; the most quoted two are:
"There is no sufficiently pressing need for a bridge across the Amazon."
And "The width of the Amazon averages between two to six miles depending on the area, and can even reach up to 30 miles wide during rainier periods.

Heinz makes a Simply Ketchup" - no artificial sweeteners - might no be available in your area.
if you search "low sugar ketchup" some local brands may turn up - there are also sugar free options.

Thanks so much for pointing me to Heinz, @chowderman!
I found that their "No Sugar Added" variety only has 1g of sugar, compared to their "Simply" variant which has 4g. I'll definitely look for it this weekend.Wow, that’s shocking!I had no idea that ketchup had so much sugar in it. I should cut down on my ketchup consumption and switch to something less sugary, anyone have any suggestions?

OUT OF 100% OF THE WORLD'S PEOPLE, ONLY 8% CAN LIVE TO 65 YEARS OLD.
If you are over 65 years old, be content and grateful. Seize life, seize the moment. You didn't leave this world before you turned 65, like 92% of people who have died because of health. Cherish every moment you have left!

The term "googol" was coined by a 9-year-old boy? In 1938, American mathematician Edward Kasner asked his young nephew, Milton Sirotta, to come up with a name for an extremely large number: 1 followed by 100 zeros. Milton suggested "googol," and his uncle liked it so much that he adopted the term for this astronomical figure. This playful origin story highlights the creativity and imagination of children, showing that even the most complex mathematical concepts can be inspired by youthful curiosity. So, the next time you hear about a googol or its even larger cousin, the googolplex, remember that it all started with a child's idea!
The Diomede islands are just three miles apart but the bigger island is almost one day ahead of its smaller neighbour (21 hours) because they sit on either side of the International Date Line which passes through the Pacific Ocean and marks the boundary between one calendar day and the next. They sit in the Bering Strait between mainland Alaska and Siberia
Big Diomede is located on the Russian side while Little Diomede is on the US side. The ice bridge that forms between the two islands in winter makes it possible, although illegal, to walk the short distance between them and 'travel through time'
