Seven Fatherly Facts



  • 46% (70.1 million) of the 152 million US males are fathers.
  • There are two million single dads in the US.
  • Since 1965, the time US fathers spend with their children has tripled.
  • The number of stay-at-home dads have nearly doubled since 1989.
  • Salon Magazine named the worst five movie dads. They are:

    1. John Milton, The Devil's Advocate;
    2. Darth Vader, Stars Wars;
    3. Noah Cross, Chinatown;
    4. Grandpa, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre;
    5. The Rev. Harry Powell, aka Preacher, Night of the Hunter.

    • The best five TV/movie dads according to Salon are:

    1. Atticus Finch, To Kill a Mockingbird;
    2. The Little Tramp, The Kid;
    3. Charles Ingalls, Little House on the Prairie;
    4. Nathan Lee Morgan, Sounder;
    5. The Father, The Road.

  • Who says a male cannot become pregnant? The father seahorse appears to be the only male animal that can pull this off. They receive about 50 – 1,500 eggs from the female, fertilize them, and then carry the eggs until they mature which can take several weeks.
  • Chromosomes from the father determine the sex of their offspring. That's because mothers always pass on an X chromosome to their children. However, a father passes on either an X or Y chromosome. Another quirky ingredient in mother nature's brew!

Father's Day Quotes

I thank you for the music and your stories of the road
I thank you for the freedom when it came my time to go
I thank you for the kindness and the times when you got tough

And papa, I don't think I said I love you near enough

Dan Fogelberg, Leader of the Band

I longed to cry out to those warriors on that sweet stage
Our fathers, our fathers, O' the things you have done
We stand in awe of where you've been,

What you faced and what you won

Steve Mayfield, Song from your Sons

When you're young, you think your dad is Superman. Then you grow up, and you realize he's just a regular guy who wears a cape.

Dave Attell

My daughter got me a “World's Best Dad” mug. So we know she's sarcastic.

Bob Odenkirk

My father would lift me high / And dance with my mother and me and then / Spin me around til I fell asleep / Then up the stairs he would carry me / And I knew for sure I was loved.”

Luther Vandross

Before I got married I had six theories about raising children; now, I have six children and no theories.

John Wilmot
