Heh, Useless facts....I seem to know too many of those.

Like Glass is not actually a solid but is concidered a Super-Cooled Liquid

Also when you heat Purified water to 212 Degrees F it will not boil and is considered a super-heated liquid, and don't drop anything into it it will then boil violently.

The moon can be seen from the Great Wall of China without visual aids.
you mean the other way around? seeing the wall from the moon is impossible, the earth from the moon doesn't look that much bigger than the moon from earth. that is like trying to notice a short hair on a basketball 10 feet away
but you can see the moon anywhere (at least at night)

Although it would be very impressive if someone actually did this.

True North: so our magnetic north, although continuously changing, is 23.5 degrees off true North.

Basically the Earth is at a tilt to the magnetic field.

It's impossible to knock yourself out with a punch intentionally.
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.
Knocking yourself out can be a physical response, not just a psychological one, also I just googled it and got a lot of people asking the question but no well supported answers.

I assure you it is not false, the moon can be seen from the Great Wall of China, I never said anything about the perceived size of the moon, merely it was visible to the naked eye.

I assumed you meant the other way around
and you can see the moon pretty much anwhere

Relative to magnetic north i think
nah I think relative to an angle perpendicular to the sun, magnetic north is closer to the north pole than 23 degrees I believe
