Fact: Jammer vote Elysium for Best Location?
Partially True. I originally posted in here to correct the brown fox phrase, then someone pointed it out that my location was off. I figured if I'm taking a screencap, may as well continue my campaign. This was not my original intent, though.
False. It will either go to Kirby King or myself, because we're awesome.
FACT: Life Water bottles are almost always overfilled, from my experience. Each time I open one some life water spills out, and lands on my clothes.

FACT: Mules are sterile.
FACT: The brain has no pain receptors (the brain feels no pain).
FACT: A McDonald's restaurant in Missouri, among others, outsourced its Drive Thru to a call center in Colorado Springs.
FACT: Heat destroys stingray venom. So putting the stung body part in very hot water is what you should do if ever stung by a stingray.

Its called the Birthday Paradox
"If more than 23 people gather in a room there is a better than 1 in 2 chance that at least two of them will share the same birthday"
At a glance it seems illogical but its true!

Tomatoes are actually berries in the Nightshade family, so they are related to tobacco.
Humans are 10 times more germ then human, there are 10 germ cells for every body cell in us.
Blind people dream about tastes and smells.
A clock goes clockwise because the man who invented it lived in the southern hemisphere where the sun goes across the horizon that way, so if the clock were invented in the north, they would all run the other way.
Table knives have round edges so that people can't stab others during dinner.
I've got more, let me just grab my amazing book of trivia from my room!

That was given previously. It's true, and pretty important in the world of computer security. (Birthday attacks)
That doesn't make sense. You can stab people no matter what shape the knife is.Urb said:

Uhhh...this is Urb. My computer won't allow me to make an actual post so I am doing a Quick Reply.
Yes, that is what I mean. After reading my reply again, I realize the potential to mis-read the fact. Which is true.

I remember I addressed this one earlier:

While the number of microbes (bacteria, fungi, etc) in the body vastly outnumber the number of actual human cells, it's hard to say whether there are 10 times as many microbe cells as human cells, or 5 times, or 20 times, and so on.
And be careful about the terms you use. "Germ cells" are not 'germs' as you'd normally think about them (viruses, bacteria, microbes). The term "germ cell" refers to human sex cells, in other words, the sperm and eggs.
I'll see if I can dig up anything on some of the other facts mentioned and make a post later.
Heh, that's an interesting find, and also very sad!Believing this is completely ironic, mind you, seeing that it was statistically proven
I am thinking about this one, and I think someone's a little confused.
When you're in the northern hemisphere, the sun appears in the southern skies. It goes from east to west in the southern skies, so it makes shadows on the northern part of the sundial that go from west to east.
If you're in the northern hemisphere looking at a sundial so that the north part (the part with the shadows you can see) is away from you, something going from west to east is going from left to right, in a clockwise direction.
Northern hemisphere = clockwise shadows = clockwise clock.
The situation is the mirror-image in the southern hemisphere. The sun appears in the northern skies, and the shadows are on the southern part of the sundial. The shadows, however, still go from west to east (think about this a bit if you can't visualize it).
If you're in the southern hemisphere looking at the sundial so that the south part (the part with the shadows you can see) is away from you, something going from west to east is going from right to left, in a counterclockwise direction.
Southern hemisphere = counterclockwise shadows = counterclockwise clock = no such thing = FALSE

The phrase "Freedom of Expression" has been trademarked by Kembrew McLeod, a University of Iowa communications professor.
