Fruits of the rose family--including cherries, apples, plums, almonds, peaches, apricots, and crabapples--contain in their seeds substances known as cyanogenetic glycosides, which on ingestion release hydrogen cyanide gas through an enzymatic reaction.

Monkeys deficate regularly and will sometimes proceed to toss their feces.

Pi = 3.14 is BS. The real term goes on forever.

Einstien wasn't just a high school drop-out but he was also from Germany and during WWII no less.

Hemmingway fought in several wars such as the Spanish Civil War and died via suicide.

The average human uses 20% of their brain as opposed to 100%. Most of the 20% is used on involuntary functions and Einstien was estimated to use 13% of his brain on thinking.

When people claim that monsters are standing on their chest or aliens visit them in the middle of the night it is usually a direct result of a sleeping problem where your brain believes you are still asleep but you have the ability to see real life. Since this is the case, you see in dual vision dreams/reality. You can't move because it is a fact that when you sleep all of your body functions move at half speed and since your brain thinks you are still sleeping you can't move at the reduced speed. This is my favorite phenomena.

I am very quixotic.

I know how to spell quixotic and phenomena and I know their definitions. God help us all...

Because of the fact that the U.S. government does not define what a 'taxpayer' is, none of us (Americans), technically, have to pay taxes.

Real Fact: A polar bear's skin is actually black, its fur transparent. The reflected light makes it look white.

"Real" Fact: The phrase "more fun than a barrel of monkeys" originated in British colonial Africa, where British troops often had little to do. As a result of their boredom they would round up the most aggressive monkeys they could find and put them in a barrel and watch them fight to the death. However, eventually they discovered the sport of cricket, which they found far more entertaining, hence, "more fun than a barrel of monkeys." Monkey-fighting was ceased in 1883, when one barrel of monkeys broke out of the barrel and savagely attacked and killed British Capt. John Ashford and 2 Sudanese villagers.

You know your fact actually had a use to me. A couple years back, I had a dream that I was lying in bed and a ReDead jumped on me (a little too much Zelda, eh?) and I couldn't move or anything. I was stricken with fear and had believed that the Supernatural zombie's appearance had made it happen. When I woke up I thought I was going out of my mind.

You cleared my mind of what could've been an emotionally scarring life experience. I salute you.


Oh, and close to 3 billion movie tickets are sold in India every year.

At any random moment, a gamma wave can destroy the Earth. The only reason it hasn't yet is because the chances of it doing so are too slim.

The first SSB was to be a low-budget Japan-only game. It was also to be a Mario game with guests from other games. Hence Super Smash Bros./Super Mario Bros.

Dr. Pepper is the best selling soda in America and has more imitation brands then any other drink.

When you die, your brain lives for 5 more minutes afterwards before dying itself. So when someone dies and then claims they saw heaven or their life flash before their eyes, they really just saw the random visions of the brain on reduced oxygen.

And I am talking about people that survive not actual dead people talking you dumba**es.
