= 25 Random Things about GE. I know one random thing their market caps might only be 25 billion.

Is Facebook’s “25 Random Things About Me” a dazzling web phenomenon or the internet’s version of nails on a chalkboard? Depends on whom you talk to, but according to Facebook, last week alone another 5 million people jumped on the viral idea that exploded online, seemingly from out of nowhere. In a nutshell, it involves writing 25 unconnected facts about yourself and then proudly sharing (or over-sharing) the post with the world via a chain-letter note to all of your web friends. Are we late to the party? Maybe, but it’s such a good idea, we just couldn’t resist.

1. We’re really into wind: We’re the #1 manufacturer of wind turbines in the United States with more than 10,000 wind turbines installed globally.
2. In 2008, GE filed over 2,500 patents worldwide.
3. Every day, GE Evolution locomotives save so much fuel it’s like taking 43,000 cars off U.S. roads.
4. Aircraft engines from GE and its partners carry 3.5 million commercial passengers every day.
5. Hulu, the web video joint venture of NBC Universal and Fox, is part of an evil plot by invading aliens to make you watch more TV. Really.
6. We were founded by Thomas Edison, and he once said: “I’d put my money on the sun and solar energy. What a source of power! I hope we don’t have to wait ‘til oil and coal run out before we tackle that.”
