I like interesting facts ^_^

8 per day, and you wouldn't need to have regular meals :D.

[NorthernChaosGod]

Yeah, that's why we need to think before passing on things as fact .

Bah Humbug!

[DarkLadyNyara]

Nondairy creamer is flammable.

Hm... I'll have to test that...

[Anaisa]

Men are 6 times more likley to get hit by lightning than a woman (la la)

See, this is because men spend most of their time outside doing work, while women spend their time inside cooking, cleaning, and painting their nails.

I can be offensive too!

Suggesting all men work outside labouring is complimentary?

Taking too much fat-soluable vitamins can be dangerous.

Excess amounts of beta carotene in ferrets has been related to increase chance of lung cancer. (Beta carotene is what the body makes uses to make Vitamin A. Also, ferrets supposedly have similar lungs to humans).

There is little caffeine in chocolate (<5mg)

Vitamin C does not help cure a cold. Excess Vitamin C is urinated out anyways.

"Homosexual" was only coined in the mid-1800's in German then few years later in English.

Vibrators were once sold in Eaton's catalog under women's health products.

Hysteria, until the 70's, was considered a mental disordered and was one of the most diagnosed disease in women at the time. The cure for hysteria was the vibrator (this explains the previous point).

Going outside with little on in the middle of winter does not cause one to have a cold. It is our change in behaviour during the winter that does (i.e. we are inside and much more crowded in the winter than in the summer).

A planet must be a certain blank number in diameter and be strong enough to pull things into orbit around it and orbit around in a certian blah blah order well anyways there's many spots in our universe where millions of planets are being created and destroyed, just not in our solar system

(little late response to previous comments)

[Dr. Acula]

Toothpaste has volcanic rocks in it. (I forgot where I heard that...)

[Mirage]

Every single kind of toothpaste in the world?

[Giga Guess]

Every person can name 5 random people in the world, and chances are, at least one would be linked to that person in some way.

Through the person that named them?

I think he's alluding to the 6 degrees of separation theory...that any two people on the planet have no more than 6 degrees of separation, ie//

Me -Who knows-> Person 1 -Who Knows-> Person 2 -Who Knows-> Person 3 -Who Knows-> Person 4 -Who Knows-> Sean Bean.

Now it's figuring out the intermediary people that tends to be tricky.

I wasn't really suggesing anything other than "look, this is a stupid and generalizing, baseless fact." Proving that I can make stuff up just as great as anyone and call it fact. Also there was a mild underlying attempt at humor. I guess I failed.

I know what he meant, but the way he expressed it was just all wrong and senseless.

[Giga Guess]

I figured as much, but for clarification for everyone else, I figured I'd throw my two bits in.

[Bart's Friend Milhouse]

How random is random though. And I'm more likely to name someone who I've heard of, right?

[Sakura]
