    I've heard that some people rub it on their face.

    But this is actually a solid fact: Bears eat beets.

    Bears, Beets, Battlestar Galactica.

    There are many minerals on the earth that could have only been created by the collapse of supernovae. Not once but several times. So we all have a bit of stardust in us ^_^ And that's just cute to think of it that way

    The word "thesaurus" means "treasury."

    I love random virtually useless facts. They are indeed cool

    Use your phone camera and point your TV remote at it. Start hitting buttons. Your phone camera will be able to pick up the light the remote emits that is normally invisible!

    This is true, including for all carbon. We're sun-based lifeforms.

    One of my favorite random historical facts is that the "midnight ride of Paul Revere" that warned the colonial army of the British invasion during the American Revolution (and memorialized in poem form) was not actually ridden by Paul Revere, but a man named Samuel Prescott. The poet wrote about Revere instead solely because his name rhymed easier.

    But that would be too wasteful for you, wouldn't it darling? :3

    Archivists prefer to refer to archives as archives (plural) because archive as a singular has acquired meaning in computer sciences.
