Can someone give me 14 interesting facts about the 14 stages of pesach?

Peasch is broken into 14 stages by the Haggadah. These satges are:
1. Kadeish קדש (Recital of Kiddush blessing and drinking of the First Cup of Wine)
2. Urchatz ורחץ (The washing of the hands - sans blessing)
3. Karpas כרפס (Dipping of the Karpas in salt water)
4. Yachatz יחץ (Breaking the middle matzo; the larger piece becomes the afikoman which is eaten later during the ritual of Tzafun)
5. Maggid מגיד (Retelling the Passover story, including the recital of the "Four Questions" and drinking of the Second Cup of Wine)
6. Rachtzah רחצה (Second washing of the hands - with blessing)
7. Motzi-Matzo מוציא-מצה (Traditional blessing before eating bread products followed by the Blessing before eating matzo)
8. Maror מרור (Eating of the maror)
9. Koreich כורך (Eating of a sandwich made of matzo and maror)
10. Shulchan Oreich שולחן עורך (lit. "set table"—the serving of the holiday meal)
11. Tzafun צפון (Eating of the afikoman)
12. Bareich ברך (Blessing after the meal and drinking of the Third Cup of Wine)
