This is somewhere where you can let loose your knowledge and tell people everywhere something that has no specific meaning to life, or anything in general that you would just like to blurt out, like this: Did you know that two humped camels (Bactrian) came around before one humped camels (arabian)? Something like that. It really doesn't mean anything. They're more like fun facts.

By dry weight, tea contains more caffeine than coffee does, the only reason that you tend to get less caffeine from drinking tea is that it is normally brewed weaker than coffee is.

okay, that's cool. it's kinda like that, but its about facts and stuff, not just randomness.

Did you know that if you put your arm up and and bent it over your head, it makes an almost perfect 90 degree angle.

If there is a hole in a container for holding liquid, chewing gum and using that to seal it is almost as efficient as rubber cement.

The pole on the top of the earth is not at the true north pole. or maybe that's the south pole.

More than 2 million twinkies are made each day.

a man caught this fish from the side of a ship and ate it, but took a picture beforehand because it was so ugly. he sent it off to have it identified. a few weeks later, a letter comes back asking him for the fish in exchange for more than a million dollars. he tells them he ate it. they offer half the price for the remains. he told them he'd thrown them overboard.

this fish had been thought to be extinct for more than 1 million years. and the idiot ate it.

wow, that guys an ideot. (i know I spelled that wrong)

The prairie dog really isn't a dog, buit a rodent, and a koala bear really isn't a bear (which is a mammal), it's a marsupial.

Coca-Cola translated to Chinese means, "To make mouth happy".

Chicken tikka masala was invented in Scotland

Scotch eggs were invented in London.

Fried chicken was invented by Scottish immigrants to America.

Wait, I thought that Fried Chicken was invented by black slaves in America. You're telling me it's from Scotland?

It was invented by Scottish people, the slaves just invented the seasoning, they couldn't afford meat like beef for special occasions so they had fried chicken (which had by this point really caught on in America) instead, and they started adding their own seasoning mixes to it.

In a nutshell, black slaves invented fried chicken as it's become famous as today, but the frying part was invented by the Scottish.

Man that's crazy cool.

The Chinese invented pasta and the Americans invented pizza, but the italians just perfected them both.

Mushrooms are the only vegetable that contain large amounts of Vitamins D and K, which is otherwise processed from sunlight. Meaning if humans were to be forced underground for any reason, mushrooms would be the prime food choice.

The moon would have moved far away from the earth before the sun explodes and destroyes the solar system. That means we would all be dead before the sun ever did anything.

Actually no. The only changes that the earth would feel once the moon would be that far away (And also placing finally into a perfectly stable gravitational, geo-sync orbit with the earth) would be that each day would be equal to one rotation of the moon, (equal to about 27 days today) and that tides would pretty much cease to exist. The orbital wobble of the earth would still be stabilized though, so yes, life would be different, but no, we wouldn't be dead.

Besides, the moon would be far enough away for that to happen in 1 or 2 billion years. Humans would probably have either died out a long time ago, or have expanded to other stars (hopefully the latter) by that time.

And the sun won't explode. It turns into a Red Giant star (Enveloping everything to Mars) before releasing it's gas slowly until it turns into a tiny white dwarf, where it cools down to nothing. The Sun isn't massive enough to produce a violent Supernova.

(Sorry, I'm an avid astronomer, so any facts about astronomy that are wrong, I tend to correct.)

Yeah, my teacher said the same thing. i was just putting things in simple terms for others to understand without over explaining.

Kangaroos can't move their back legs individually. they have to move them at the same time.

If you monitor someone's brainwaves when they listen to both Metal music and Classical music, there is a huge difference in activity. Metal makes the brain go crazy, and brainwaves begin jumping up and down out of sync, also causing a mix up of hormones and causing the environment around the brain to become slightly acidic. While Classical, causes your brain waves to perfectly align and smoothen out, while chemicals and hormones regulate to normal function. Scientists say that the latter effect of brainwaves is better for brain health.

Also, did you know that if you play metal music to a plant 24/7, it grows 3 times it's size, and has 3 times as much yield? While Classical only makes it grow twice normal size, and twice the normal yield?

i can't believe I read that whole thing.........

you still have the chance of going deaf from a rocket even if you are 10 miles away.
