Megaman is only blue because in the 8-bit colour chart blue has the most variations and Inufane wanted Megaman to be detailed
Megaman was originally 2 individual sprites, his head and body were animated differently
Megaman 6 had the highest colour per sprite in any 8-bit game.
Knightman and Blademan (And Windman i think) were Robot masters designed by average people for a competition for Capcom.
Zero was supposed to be the main Protagonist for Megaman X, however they replaced him with X since he looks more like Classic Megaman
Due to Megaman x6 being released without Inufane's agreement the plot of Megaman Zero had to be altered.
The characters in Megaman x5 when imported over to the eastern countries they got renamed to names based off of members of Guns and Roses.

I'm pretty sure pong was based off of a game the radar guys created when playing with the radar screens.The Heavy Metal Nerd said:
Saturn is so light that if there were a giant pool that could hold it, Saturn would actually float in it.
If you were to fall into a black hole and could survive the gravity you would actually live long enough to see the end of the universe or die of starvation since time basically comes to a halt in a black hole.
I know others but I'm to lazy to double check my books to verify the facts so I'm not corrected.

Fun Fact: Many people believe that in a nuclear holocaust, that cockroaches would be the only thing to survive. Those people are wrong.
Without humans, cockroaches have no way to survive. They depend on our housing to provide warmth for them, and they eat our garbage.
No humans means no place for the roaches to live, and no food for them to eat.

Gargoyles aren't decorative statues, well, not JUST. Gargoyles are decorative water-spouts, anything thats just a statue is called a Grotesque.
there was only one man who was killed in WW2 by an arrow. it was shot by jack churchill, also known as mad jack churchill.
As a bonus fact jack churchill also carried a claymore into battle and said that anyone who did not have a sword was not ready for battle.

Haha! I don't think I even want to know the story behind that one.MrRetroSpectacles said:
Hmm... useless facts I know.
Legos were originally wooden toys (this part I already knew). "Lego" is from a Danish phrase, "leg godt", that means, "play well" (saw this on wiki).
Toyota originally made automatic looms instead of cars.
Lemons contain more sugar than apples.
Apples can keep you awake more effectively than coffee.
In the event of a nuclear doomsday scenario jellyfish would have the best chance of surviving.
This is because there is a type of fresh water jellyfish that creates its own food by growing a type of algea on itself. Jellyfish can also suvive for long periods of time in low oxygen environments.
