With all the education we have received, it seems crazy that there are still facts out there that have been able to blow our minds. But each time we are left in shock and awe and are just waiting for it to happen again. So here are a few facts that you may or may not know. Get the cleaning supplies out, because your mind is about to explode all over the walls.

1. Remember Humpty Dumpty? Everyone assumes he is an egg, but he isn't. The rhyme never says anything about him being an egg.

2. You can always see your nose, but your mind just chooses to ignore it most of the time.

3. You were at one point the youngest person in the world.

4. Are you somewhere you have been before? Laying in your bed or sitting at a desk? Newsflash, you have never been in the same place twice. This is only because the Earth is constantly spinning.

5. You cannot hum while holding your nose.

6. An octopus has three hearts.

7. There are more than twice as many nipples on the planet than people. And it is more than twice because a lot of people have a third or even fourth nipple.

8. There is only one hole in a straw. Because the one hole goes all the way through.

9. Fried chicken was invented in Scotland.

10. Pluto did not even make it around the Sun once before it was declassified as a planet.

12. The official national animal of Scotland is a unicorn.

13. Bowling can be traced back to 3200 BC thanks to Sir Flinders Petrie.

14. The popularity of Nutella has skyrocketed in the past few years, but it was actually created during World War II.

15. Anne Frank was born the same year as Martin Luther King Jr. We just always associate them with different points in history.

16. Frankenstein was the name of the creator of the monster, not the monster.

17. Oxford University is older than the Aztec Empire.

18. Only one organism on Earth is known to be immortal, the turritopsis Nutricula jellyfish. It even makes a special appearance on the show Octonauts.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
