Apple juice comes from zebras.

Christopher Columbus, contrary to what everyone was always taught, was considered an immense fuckwit, tool and criminal. That's why he, a spaniard, had to go to portugal to get funding for his expedition. Also that whole "Everyone thought the earth was flat thing"? Bullshit as well, navigation was based on the priniciple that the earth was round and had been since ancient Greece and Egypt.

Mole is the number of atoms in a molecule its also comes in Mega and Milla prefixes

A mole is an avogadro's number (6.023 x 10 to the power of 23) of a given atom or molecule. It's basically it's molecular weight in grams. E.g. A mole of Carbon 12 is 12 grams of Carbon 12.

God, I could type in this thread all day. I'll type a few with one hand while I eat lunch:

+Starfish have no brains
+Every nation in Europe sent some number of troops to fight at the Battle of White Mountain
+Caucasian Ovcharkas were bred by the Russians 700 years ago to kill bears. (The modern-day russian army uses them as guard dogs)
+HIV steals part of the cellular plasma membrane by embedding its own viral glycosylated proteins during tranlation and fusing with them during exocytosis.
+The patella is grown inside your tendons - this is called a Sesamoid bone.
