It's actally pretty fuuny you ask, why just yesterday my wife said she was in a restroom that had a list full of, "Did you know that" kind of stuff. That was the only one she could remember. She almost called me because she knows I eat this stuff up.

Probably not the drunken story you expected huh?

A group of rats is called a mischief
Mosquitos can breed in only a teaspoon of water.
Only 6 people have survived rabies, only one person, a 16 year old girl, has survived intact(2005).
Mosquitos stay within one mile of their breeding site. But can travel upwards of 10 miles a night.
Rats stay close to their home. Not going more then 100 feet away.
From my husbands job:

And all recent models of cars have a black box.

The more that is learned about the ecological benefits of bats, the
more home gardeners are going out of their way to entice these
amazing winged mammals into their neighborhoods. Bats are voracious
insect eaters, devouring as many as 600 bugs per hour for four to six
hours a night.

This is very true. The incidence of rabies in bats is actually relatively low.

In fact, you can find online a very simple plan to build a bat house. Or you can order them.

They are best bug zappers you can find. Not to mention, it is kinda fun to watch them work at night.
