DID YOU KNOW? that you can find pictures of Mario, Luigi, Bowser, Peach and Yoshi in The Legend of Zelda : Ocarina Of Time? Look for it in a window when Zelda is yapping about Ganondorf being the "dark clouds" in her dream.

Prepare to be ENLIGHTENED. Or bored shitless.

Leaving a Goldfish in a dark room for a long amount of time will eventually turn it white.
Wrong.http://www.goldfishconnection.com/articles/details.php?articleId=137&parentId=12: Parasites, Genetics, or bruising. Nothing to do with light.

The word "twit" means a pregnant Goldfish.
Wrong. http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/twit
Nothing to do with goldfish there. I've also heard that twat means a pregnant goldfish, laying credence to both being tosh.

Koala bears have no natural predators.
Close, but no cigar. http://home.vicnet.net.au/~koalas/factsgeneral.html They have FEW predators, which mostly bother just the young.
Harrod's in London was the first place to sell toilet paper.
Wrong again. If we go to toilet paper in general, its from 6th century China. Modern toilet paper started in America. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toilet_paper#Modern_toilet_paper


The first time men's and women's toilets were separated was at a public ball in France.
Can't find anything on this. However, the Roman's had public toilets, I see no reason for them not to segregate.

Einstein was offered the presidency of Israel, he declined saying "I have no head for politics"
Oooh so close. He actually said he had: "neither the natural ability nor the experience to deal with human beings."


Please people. CHECK YOUR FACTS. It is not difficult.
Yea I'm done.
Wow, well done. And you sourced it all! Not like the rest of you people! You know, looking at the floor won't make your facts any more true!
Sorry for the double post, but I just found out that Zelda tidbit and had to post it. And then I found this!

DID YOU KNOW:

That the Alliance soldiers in Firefly use the same body armor as the soldiers from Starship Troopers? Joss Whedon just got the props from that movie for cheaper than getting new props.

Two awesome franchises :D

That 'Berkshire Hunt' is cockney rhyming slang for '****' so when you call someone the fairly innocent-sounding name of a 'berk', you are actually calling them something much worse?

I have to think twice about saying that from now on...
Did you know? that if you press really hard when you write with a pencil a lump will develop on the finger it's pressing against? Accidentally did it to myself....
that a child raised on something we would find purely disgusting would find the disgusting thing easy to eat?
that when you say 'waffling' it actually means pointless talking?
and that;
Pointless I know, but fun!

Oh yeah, the cake is a lie.

Did you know that the reason female cats are so loud while mating is because it is excruciatingly painful for them?
Cat penises are ridged the to point of being sharp so that no semen can slip out.
Did you know that this factoid led to a scene in "The Real Barenziah" Elder Scrolls lore book that was used in Daggerfall but got censored in the lore book found in Morrowind and Oblivion?

"The Real Barenziah" Part IV (Daggerfall) on the UESP [http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:The_Real_Barenziah_%28Daggerfall%29#Part_IV]

Dogs can't look up.

Also, during mating, male banana slug penises can become stuck in the female. They then take turns gnawing the penis off so the male can escape.

Did you know that Michael E. Rudnicki is the most prejudiced person on the face of the earth, and is the real-life equivalent of Eric Cartman, only a lot less funny.
Did you know that there's a town in New Jersy called Sparta?
There's a town in Michigan called Hell. They sell novelty baseball bats at the gift shop.

That a human being cannot physically lick their elbow?

That an unusually large proportion of people will try this when they first hear it?
