Crab sticks do not actually contain any crab
That is generally true and the most common imposter is pollock. The very same fish you find in a McDonald's fish sandwich.

glass is a liquid. if you look closely at a window that's extremely old, you'll see that it's thinner at the top and thicker at the bottom. also, low grade glass is ever so slightly porous.

and, every window cleaner is a little bit eccentric, especially those that do high rises.
As my chemistry teacher used to say, if you get thrown through a bar window, you'll probably argue that glass is a solid.

Buffy's street address in Sunnydale is 1630 Revello Dr.

Alice in Wonderland was about math. Not drugs.

The most goals ever scored by one person during a FIFA world cup is 13 by Just Fontaine in 1958

The most in one world cup game by one player is five by Oleg Salenko in 1994 against Cameroon

Only two nations have ever defended their world cup title: Italy in 1938 and Brazil in 1962

Only two people have won the world cup as both a player and a manager: Mario Zagallo, who won as a player in 1958 and 1962 then in 1970 as a manager, and Franz Beckenbauer, who won in 1974 as a player and 1990 as a manager.

Kevin spacey is a fan of pro wrestling.

The Honey Badger is the most fearless animal on earth.

I can fit 12 dead babies in the back of my car.

Ignore that last one.
Irish spell it "whiskey", as you did.
The Scots spell it "whisky", and the Americans use both interchangeably.

This is a generalisation, of course...

Cashews need to be boiled twice before eating, otherwise they're poisonous. Also, while boiling, they put off vapors that can blind you.

Which begs the question, why on earth was a group that interested in eating a nut that had to kill at least two people and blind one before they figured out how to prepare them?

A pregnant goldfish is called a twit.
A group of crows is called a murder. A group of ravens is called an unkindly. A group of doves is called a flight.

When you put a sea shell to your ear... its not actually the sound of the sea...
Its the sound of reality slowly tearing at the seems.

The only bone that sits freely in a human body is the Hyoid (its not connected to anything basically).

The Pittsburgh Penguins have the longest winning streak in the NHL at 17 games (started with Boston, ended in New Jersey).

The Patriots have the longest winning streak (in both regular season and playoff games) at 21 games (ended by the Pittsburgh Steelers [who also have hte most super bowl rings, at 6 {currently}]) but only the Miami Dolphins have had a perfect season.

However, the pittsburgh pirates were (and sometimes still are) considered the worst time in the history of Sports, losing 18 (yes, you read that right, 18) consecutive seasons.

Pittsburgh was also the first to use an emoticon, in 1982. it was :) And in 2006, it was stated as having the most bridges in the world in one city.

Hometown pride.

Joan of Arc was burned at the stake by the French for cross dressing
Also, she wasn't called "Joan of arc", she was called Joan D'arc. But people mis-heard her and thought that (due to the nature of the french language) this meant joan of arc.
plus the name is not Joan but Jeanne D'Arc and d'arc (de arc) actually means "of arc".

Fictional virology time!

The green flu mutates on a nearly daily basis, making it insanely difficult to create any sort of vaccine or even properly make quarantine protocols for.

The rage virus originated from attempting to create an anger inhibiting virus using ebola as the basis. I assume at some point they thought of trying to make it non lethal, not that it matters because during primate testing they found it had the opposite effect.

I'm not quite sure how it works, but the necromorphs method of infection is very clever. The suicidal/homicidal tendencies caused by the marker makes sure there are plenty of bodies for the space bats to take over, creating a large "first wave" of necromorphs to overwhelm any resistance.

The t virus can have different effects based on transmission method. One file in resi 1 indicates the tyrant as a result of pure t-virus inject directly into the flesh. Presumably, other test subjects were infected perhaps via an airborne infection, as the t-virus does have a short lived airborne effect after release. Zombie bites probably do not contain a pure enough form of the virus to cause tyrant mutations. Resi games would be a hell of a lot harder if they did.

I need to get out more...
