A useless fact you know

[F-I-D-O]

if you lined up the population of china in a eight person wide line and had them march by you, the line would never end

Think about that one and you'll see it is clearly not true.

At the current rate of reproduction, the line would never end. It is true, if the rate of reproduction remained constant. In application, no, it's wrong. Using the rates and statistics, it's right.

The angle of the Earth's axis is 23.5 degrees.<----- RELATIVE TO WHAT?

I think if you draw a line between earth and the sun, it's relative to a line perpendicular to that.

aside from humans, dolphins are the only other mammal that has sex for pleasure

Orangutans do too.

really? my mistake then, I stand correct

The only reason I knew was because when I was quite a bit younger (Likely in the 12-15 range) I was flipping through channels and landed on Discovery and heard them talking about Orangutans having sex in the missionary position (which is apparently unheard of in anything but humans) and some footage existed of a female Orang masturbating.

Did you know that 98,3% of people can't say "Al Gore wardrobe playtime regulation"? Go on, try it and you'll see why.

In Higurashi (when They Cry) the anime, all the arcs are connected by blood making the shape of an firebird coming from the ashes, the reason Keichi is still alive.

*gets shot*

I never knew that.

most people don't because it's only in the japanese version of it. It's taken out of "When They Cry', the american translation, for some strange reason

Elephants are the only animal that can't jump.

A flea's jump has a higher acceleration than a rocket, and so they are the only bug that wont smush on a rocket's windscreen.

A pig's penis is shaped like a corkscrew and its orgasm lasts 30 minutes

definitely not true, sorry.
