That besides from uric acid and used blood, urine has the same composition as sweat.
Mercury's day is longer than it's year, and about half-way through its year, if you stand on the equator and look at the sun you will see it go about 3/4ths the way across the sky and then reverse to being directly overhead, and then continue its original direction and set.

I LOVE this fact, this is the one I drop when I truly want to surprise people, because literally NOBODY knows this.

When armadillo's have babies, the babies are either all male, or all female.

You'll also immediately flash freeze

That can't be true, what if you gave yourself a concussion?
It is possible to accidentally hit yourself and suffer concussion. However you would not be able to knock yourself out in a premeditated way.

"We only use ten percent of our brains" is a myth perpetuated by a misinterpretation of something once said by a neurologist. In short, he said that at any given time we're using ten percent of our entire brain, however, during different tasks and stages of thought, we do indeed use one hundred percent of it.

What insects walk on 4 legs and have wings?

In the LIGA experiments currently conducted around the world, the 40 kg glass cylinder mirrors they use can be treated quantum mechanically as a point particle.

That's according to Kip Thorne. Who signed my fedora. Yeah.

also it is easier to bite through your pinky finger than an average carrot, but your brain wont allow you to do it to yourself

Airplane food tastes worse because you get sensory overload because of all the ambient noise on the airplane. As well as this, the air-conditioning can also serve to dry up your food, which helps to create the whole 'I paid 2 grand for this shit?' philosophy.

Neon exists as 0,0000153 percent in the atmosphere. (Or something)

I did a project about Neon in sixth grade.
Oh, and that Stockholm (Capitol of Sweden) was called the city of Neon; even though there's far less neon signs there in comparison to other large cities.

I once hit myself in the balls with a badminton racket, does that count?
