Fun Fact of the Day:

Japan has a network of roads that play music as you drive over them at the correct speed. There are grooves in the road as well as raised pavement markers in intermittent intervals so that when the vehicle drives over them, the vibrations caused by the wheels can be heard inside the car. You can also find a musical roads in California and New Mexico.
