Kickstarter for what could be the game I'm looking forwards to more than any other:
-The worlds oldest piece of chewing gum is over 9000 years old! (Go ahead say it) -More people use blue toothbrushes, than red ones! (I got a green one) -Dolphins sleep with one eye open -Humans blink over 10,000,000 times a year -The fear of vegetables is called Lachanophobia -An earthquake on Dec. 16, 1811 caused parts of the Mississippi River to flow backwards -In 32 years. there are about 1 billion seconds -In England, in the 1880's, "Pants" was considered a dirty word -Most dust particles in your house are made from dead skin -Men are 6 times more likely to be struck by lightning than women
- The ancient Egyptian god of infinity was named "Huh". - Pacemakers used to contain little atomic generators used to power them. - The pirates in Treasure Island never actually commit piracy during the events of the story. Mutiny, yes. But not piracy. - The scientific name for the Loch Ness Monster is Nessiteras rhombopteryx, which is an anagram of "monster hoax by Sir Peter S." - Statistically speaking, walking home drunk is 8 times more likely to kill you than driving home drunk - Detonating a nuclear weapon within the city limits of Chico, California is punishable by a $500 fine (that's almost $1,400 less than the fine for parking in a disabled spot without a placard) - Malaysian ants explode when threatened - On September 11th 2002, the first anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, the winning numbers for the New York Lottery were "9-1-1". Coincidence? Yeah, probably. - I voted. Did you? In Fiji, Chile and Egypt you can be jailed for not voting - The font Apple uses for all its legal documents is called Sosumi (pronounced "So sue me") - Ten gallon hats can only hold 3 quarts - Pigskins are made out of cow skin, catgut is made from sheep gut, and Welsh rabbit its made from toast. - The blindworm, also known as the deaf adder, is actually a legless lizard and is fully capable of both sight and hearing - There is no such fish as a sardine. The name applies to any small fish that has been packaged in a sardine can. - Dolphins use names to refer to one another - The construction of an actual working Death Star would cost approximately $15.6 septillion—about a trillion times the combined value of all the money in the world - Giraffe meat is kosher - When not going anywhere, cows generally face directly to the north or south, unless there is a power line nearby - "Le Train de Nulle Part" by French writer Michel Thaler is 233 pages long and doesn't contain a single verb
I read once from the Internet that you cannot touch your elbow with your tongue.
I also read that a big % number of the people who read this fact, tried it out =DDD
After seeing this thread a while back I started reading websites filled with random facts (I've read over 1000 by now) and some really weird ones came up.
1.In 1386, France a pig was hung for murder of a child.
2.During the time of WWII Heinz made a pasta for German market only called Aphabetti Spaghetti and the noodles were swastikas.
3.Once Belgeins tried using cats to deliver mail, it didn't work.
I know many more.
the first one, is true, read it in a book somewhere
If you plant birdseed a small robin will grow on a stalk.
There is a species of snail with a tongue.
If you press 'refresh' on the internet, diet coke will spray everywhere.
One in five whales poop rainbows.
More coming soon!
Shut up, spacecow

Some people really need to stay away from the government propaganda department. Let the brain-washing machines have a day off, they must need maintenance by now.
- The most similar animal that eats like humans is the pig (well duh, they eat a lot of stuff....)
- There are new guppy breeds bred everyday.
- Early forms of games similar to soccer used animal and human skulls, severed human heads, Stitched-up cloth, and even animal bladders.
- Football prototypes were pig bladders.
- Zebroids are any equines that are bred with zebras. A zedonk or zonkey is the cross of a donkey and a zebra. A zorse is part horse, and part zebra. (Here's a picture of a zorse)
One of the inspirations for Nike's slogan came from the last words of a prisoner on death row "Just do it"

You have literally destroyed my hopeful views on dinosaurs FluffyRaptor. I hate you.
But it's true. The raptors in Jurassic Park are actually more similar to Deinonychus than the Velociraptors. Sorry, but I didn't put a spell on a Velociraptor to make them feathered.
And don't worry, I still believe that Tyrannosaurus had scales, and that only their babies had feathers.
Feathers oh my!
