Crazy Facts

Postby Elektra » 05/27/2010 1:32 PM

Ok, so the object of this game is to do two things.  

1. Give the craziest facts you can find

and

2. Amuse other people who are doing this with you.

I thought that this might be a fun thing to try out, since when people read these, they can get a lot of good laughs too.  ^^  Ok, so I'll start.  And remember, they can be hilarious, unbelievable, a bit boring but wierd, just something you haven't heard before, something random.  I don't care, but keep them appropriate.   ^^

M&M's have been on every space shuttle mission since 1982.

Wow, no wonder they're so popular.   :P


If you knew knew what the bluebirds sang at you
You would never sing along
Cast them out cause this is our culture
These new flocks are nothing but vultures

Because they took our love and they filled it up
Filled it up with Novocaine and now Im just numb
And don't mind me, Im just a son of a gun
So dont stop, dont stop until your heart goes numb
I dont feel a thing for you

Good resource for this sort of game: www.snopes.com. 'Cuz a lot of commonly-circulated "crazy facts" (like the old chestnut about a duck's quack not echoing) are in fact no such things. Ducks do indeed echo! :P

Actual factual:

The device used for measuring foot sizes that you see in so many shoe stores is called the Brannock device.

I'm so cool (too bad I'm a loser).
I'm so smart (too bad I can't get anything figured out)!
I'm so brave (too bad I'm a baby).
I'm so fly
That's probably why it feels just like I'm falling for the first time!

I'm so green (it's really amazing).
I'm so clean (too bad I can't get all the dirt off of me)!
I'm so sane (It's driving me crazy)!
It's so strange
I can't believe I'm falling for the first time!

There are more text messages sent each day than there are people on earth.

Wow, no wonder phone bills for my friends cost so much.  XD

For students starting a 4 year technical degree this means that half of what they learn in their first year of study will be outdated by their third year of study...

I love adventurous tales like that. That uplifting feeling that comes from seeing unknown lands and the knowledge that you came across—nothing can replace it! It opens a path from which self-confidence, experience, and important friendships—from the sharing of life or death situations—are born! But hearing it just isn’t the same. I want to create my own magnificent story!



A great adventure!

The standard unit of measurement called the foot, is comprised of twelve inches.

This is because King Charlemagne's foot was twelve inches long.

There are small cities or communities that claim to be their own nation. These are called Micro-nations.



Push play, turn out the lights,
quietly on the floor I lie,
with my foot I close the bedroom door.
I can see shadow lines,
from tree tops on the hill side,
and moonlight glows through the window sill.

The Principality of Sealand is a small micro-nation off the coast of the UK.

It has only four citizens, and you can pay £30 to be a Baron or Baroness of Sealand.

I am one.

Sore throat medication (i.e. drops, sprays, strips) are the ones most commonly over dosed on, without intent to get high.
