    What do you mean by random? Do you mean I should just make up 5 different persons that I have no idea if even exists?

    Furthermore, you say there's a chance that you know at least one of them. How big is this chance?

    The average anyone consumes anything in one year to kill almost anything, because we consume it over the period of one year, not one second. A horse would have no problem consuming as much caffeine as a human over the course of an entire year.

    Probably the stupidest fun "fact" I've seen in my entire life :p.

    Except you got that one wrong. It's supposed to be 8 spiders per lifetime.
    Yeah, I don't know why I wrote day. I meant lifetime.
