TIL that Clyde Barrow (Bonnie and Clyde) amputated two toes to avoid forced labor in prison. However, Barrow's mother had already successfully petitioned for his release and he was released six days after his intentional injury. He walked with a limp for the rest of his life because of this.

TIL Mexicans associate the seven-note musical "door knock" known as "Shave and a Haircut (Two Bits)", with the seven-syllable phrase ¡Chinga tu madre, cabrón! (Go fuck your mother, asshole!). Playing the jingle on a car horn can result in a hefty fine if done in the presence of police. NSFW
