What Fact Shocked You The Most

[GoldenRaz]

If you get shot without you knowing you won't die. (well at least I think thats true)

You might want to rethink that, a bullet isn't going to wait to get your attention before it removes half your brain.

BOOM, HEADSHOT!!!

On topic; that objects are every colour except from the one we see (a red car isn't actually red, since red is the only colour that isn't absorbed by the car and it therefore "bounces" from it)

Hitlers mom almost had an abortion.

My God why does that remind me of Ms. Kovacs from Watchmen? (Rorschach's mother.)

"You have any idea what you cost me? They were right! I shoulda had the abortion!"

Welcome to the Escapist!

If you have spider web as thick as a pencil, length ways not width, it can bring a 747 at top speed to a dead stop.

if you have a spider that can produce that...we're fucked.

I'd just love to now how the scientists figured this out though, must have been through some damn strange experiments. Also I think rabbits enjoy sex as well, horny little buggers that they are.

Makes you wonder why they even wanted to see which animal enjoys sex in the first place. Maybe they were trapped in a jungle without internet and dvds if you catch my drift.

I think I caught your drift a little too well. 0.0

The weight of the light that our sun shines is 4 million tons per second.

OH MY GOD THE SUN IS CRUSHING MY FACE!

If you put you hand over your face and it covers everything, you have cancer.

thats not true...
HAH
thats something so that people move there hands to their face and then you push their hands.

According to my old physics teacher, the way kids draw electric circuits with charge going positive to negative is actually false and the charge really goes negative to positive because its the negative electrons that move and create the charge.

finding out I'd been lied to for 10 years surprised me.

 

[Avida]

The facts that most surprised me were a bunch in the QI 'E' anual on the amount of unwanted insect and animal matter you're legally alowed to sell in food, i'd copy it up but i 'friend' scabbed it and never gave it back. Can someone fill in for me?

I think it was said that on average 200 spiders crawl into your mouth and get eaten while your sleeping in your lifetime.

If a species, as a whole, were willing to go down the gullet of every sleeping behemoth they came across, they probably wouldn't survive very long...

If you are shot and instantly killed by a Sniper or long distance shooter, you won't hear it due to light travelling a lot faster than sound.

That the soldiers at Abu Ghraib not only tortured the prisoners, but also raped them:

Ugh. UGH. I know they're ostensibly trying to save lives or whatever, but, there was really no other way to get the intel they want, they just HAD to sexually violate them too? It makes my skin crawl.

...

Well that was the most horrific thing I've heard all year...

...The thing about that woman raping and killing a little girl, then swallowing razor blades to kill herself came pretty close...

Vin diesal is straight/snarky comment end

What's wrong with Vin Diesel? He's great. And I highly doubt that he's gay.

 

[JoeyTribbiani]

Well I don't know what fact shocked me the most, but I have a good few.

 

[D.C.]

That Marijuana was originally banned in America not due to it's narcotic effects but that the hemp industry in America threatened the Tobacco and Cotton industry which many senators had "hands in".

If you are shot and instantly killed by a Sniper or long distance shooter, you won't hear it due to light travelling a lot faster than sound.

I hope by "light" you mean the bullet. In fact it works for most highpowered guns at any range not just snipers at long range.

I don't belive the poppy seed thing is true or so my health teacher says

Its true. poppy seeds contain opiates. Brainiac proved it once by letting a priest (for irony) eat a few bagels with poppy seeds. After that he was tested positive.

Aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are witren, the olny iprmoatnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer be in the rghit pclae. The rset can be a toatl mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit a porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe.

Married to a supermodel and has a kid. It's in Wikipedia with citations

Tomatoes contain a higher percentage of water in themselves then people do.

A tank tread exerts less pressure underneath than a human foot.

You standing on your own two feet has about as much surface area coming in contact with the ground as about 20 average rail freight cars and a locomotive, loaded weighing as much as 200 tons.

In a tug of war between a rail locomotive and a tank, the winner would be just as awesome as the loser.
