Why Do You Know That?

My contribution:
"I" and "MIX" are the only numbers expressible in Roman numerals that are also English words.
Next to Stonehenge there actually was a Woodhenge, although contrary to Eddie Izzard's routine, there is no reason to believe there was also a Strawhenge that was blown down by a big bad wolf.
