Cool Facts

[Raistlin]

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

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.
