Most males are slightly colorblind, so women do see colors better than men.

If you have enough people ask somebody if they are feeling alright/sick or tell them that they don't look so good throughout the day, by the end of the day they will be physically ill.(personally tested, turned out to be true, don't worry I apologized afterwards).

Wednesday was named for the Anglo-Saxon god Woden(Anglo-Saxon equivalent of Norse Odin).
Thursday was named for the Anglo-Saxon/Norse god Thor.
Friday was named for the Norse goddess Freia(not sure if the Anglo-Saxons also worshipped her).
Saturday was named for Saturn(I think this one is right. Pretty sure Saturn was the Roman name for the originally Greek Titan Kronos, Father of the Olympic gods.)
Sunday was named for the Sun.
Monday was named for the moon.
Tuesday was...I don't actually know this one...I think it was a Norse/Anglo-Saxon god...Tui or Tooi...Tuoi? Something like that.

Since I am in a class that deals with cabling and stuff, I think I will write some trivia about traditional copper cabling and fiber optic cabling.

-Traditional copper cables for patch cords and such have 8 wires inside the rubber jacket to transmit a signal. Fiber Optics only require one to transmit full signal.
-Copper cables can run for only 300 feet before losing all signal, fiber optics can run for about 64 miles.
-Fiber Optics don't gradually lose signal, unless the glass has imperfections in it, the signal just drops at 64 miles. So a person using a 1 foot cable and a person using a 63 mile long cable have the exact same speed. But the person using a 65 mile cable has no signal at all.

Now for something completely different.

-The amount of nukes it would take to completely destroy the earth would be so large, that stock piling them in a large cube, it would be about twice the size of the earth.
-If you add the total play time of every individual that plays World of Warcraft together, it would add up to being about 5.93 Million Years. Around 5.93 million years ago, humans were predicted to just have started walking upright.
-If you add the total play time of every gamer that plays online in one week, it is equal to 3 billion hours a week.
-The average gamer spends 10,000 hours playing games before he is 21. 10080 hours is the exact amount of time you spend in school from 5th grade to highschool graduation if you have perfect attendance (in the United States at least).
-Twilight is terrible, oh wait, that isn't weird trivia... it's a well known fact.
