At 86 years old, the Old Arab as she's sometimes called affectionately has seen a lot of history from her place in the White House Press Corps, but Helen is more than just that feisty voice hounding Scott McClellan with insightful questions. There are many more things about Helen Thomas that you never knew!
For example:
- Helen Thomas could kill both Ari Fleischer and Scott McClellan with a touch and still look beautiful in a strapless evening gown that night.

- Helen Thomas eats five Republicans every day for breakfast and I don't mean that in a sexual sense.
- Article VII of the constitution explicitly gives Helen Thomas the right to preside over a special joint session of congress wherein all congresspeople must address her as, "Queen Fabulous"
- There were no WMDs in Iraq because Helen Thomas personally went there in 1997 at the behest of the Clinton Administration to bitchslap Saddam for five hours until he agreed to give up all weapons programs.
- Helen Thomas and Elvis Presley have never been seen together. Coincidence?
- Alaska was originally going to be named Helen Thomas' Land but she was far too modest and asked for something with a more local flavor.
- Scientists are currently working on harnessing Helen Thomas to solve world energy needs.
- When Helen Thomas plays Mortal Kombat, she always gets a fatality with the first hit.
- Helen Thomas was once denied a private interview with Richard Nixon and that's why he isn't president anymore.
