You get taller when lying down after standing for a long period of time? Some penguins actually live in tropical environments? Wendy's Frostys are actually just flavored lard?

Using logic, since Wailord can fit into a Pokeball, then all of your Pokemon should fit in the Pokedex? I am smarter than the average bear? There's a spelling error in the dictionary?

The ancient language in Eragon is based on old Norse? Light and sound don't actually travel at a fixed pace, so there isn't really a speed of light or sound?

In the average life time, most people will have walked a distance comparable to walking five times around the equator? Also, based on some suicide statistics, Monday is the best day to get your miserable existence over with? And of course, random nerd fact. Did you know that there is a band named after Yawgmoth, the most notorious threat to the Multiverse in Magic the Gathering?

Did you know that a Canadian invented the lightbulb? 58% of people that cheat are 90%+ average students? The avergage person swallows 6 spiders while sleeping in their lifetime? The swastika used to symbolize peace? Dogs actually have color in their eyes? (look real close)
Stuff to think about

Harpy Eagles are the largest bird of prey in the world? Praying mantises eat small birds, too, such as hummingbirds?

The three best-known western names in China: Jesus Christ, Richard Nixon, and Elvis Presley. Kansas state law requires pedestrians crossing the highways at night to wear tail lights. The world's youngest parents were 8 and 9 and lived in China in 1910. The percentage of Africa that is wilderness: 28% ( now get this...) The percentage of North America that is wilderness: 38% Try these on for size

In the average lifetime, a person will walk the equivalent of 5 times around the equator. Odontophobia is the fear of teeth. According to suicide statistics, Monday is the favored day for self-destruction.

The lifespan of a tastebud is ten days. In Ottumwa, Iowa, "It is unlawful for any male person, within the corporate limits of the (city), to wink at any female person with whom he is unacquainted." Without glasses, John Lennon was legally blind all of his life. Deaf people have safer driving records on average than hearing people in the U.S.A. Marilyn Monroe had eleven toes. In England, the Speaker of the House is not allowed to speak.

The word in Spanish for star is "estralla" To smash something (against something else) is "estrallar"
The saiyan names in Dragonball Z are meant to resemble vegetables. (Vegeta - Vegetable. Cacarot - Carrot. Nappa - type of cabbage. Radditz - Raddish) Gohan means Rice in Japanese (I'd hate to be aware of that throughout the entire series as a Japanese!)

But to contribute to this thread: The amino acid trytophan, found in turkey, is often blamed for sleepiness. However, the protein and other natural chemicals in turkey prevent these effects. In the average lifetime, a person will walk the equivalent of 5 times around the equator.

Quote: In the average lifetime, a person will walk the equivalent of 5 times around the equator. That's being used way to much. >_> And a random factoid: Scientists believe that in the stegosaurus used their spines for protection, temperature adaptation, and for blushing!

The Hindenberg went up in flames, not exploded? And this was because of a highly flammable aluminum powder, not the cover-up story of how a static spark ignited hydrogen, which would have burned up and away from the the airship? And finally that when that happened, it wads not the Hindenberg's maiden voyage?

In the original story, Cinderella's slippers were not glass, but white squirrel fur? (sound comfy. )

If you look at the sun RIGHT NOW, you are technically looking back in time. It takes 8 minutes for light from the sun to reach the Earth so you're actually looking at what the sun looked like 8 minutes ago.
