You can learn some pretty interesting stuff from looking at fun facts, even if it is useless information. These are some of my favorite ones.
Butterflies will literally drink your blood, sweat, and tears if given the opportunity.
Well, I thought butterflies were cute...
If you were to live in complete darkness, your body would eventually adjust to a 48-hour-day where you stay awake for 36 hours and then sleep for 12 hours.Â
I guess that's one way to change my sleep schedule. If only I could retreat from society and live in darkness for the rest of my life. Too bad I have classes to attend.
Japan has retirement homes for senior dogs.
America, why is this not a thing?
Your lie will be more convincing if you have to pee while you tell it because of the 'inhibitory spillover effect.'
Moral of the story: always have to pee when you're around people, so they can never know when you're lying.
90% of US media is controlled by six companies.Â
Those companies are GE, News-Corp, Disney, Viacom, Time Warner, and CBS. I can't say I'm surprised because most of the shows that I continue to watch on TV come from these channels. It's crazy to think that these six companies control the majority of what we watch.
The word "slut" was originally used to describe a woman who didn't keep her room clean.

A football huddle was invented at Gallaudet University, an all-deaf school, to prevent opposing teams from seeing their signs.Â
I never would've guessed that this is how huddles started.
It requires seven to eight trees to provide enough oxygen for just one person per year.
So, why are we cutting down so many trees without replanting new ones? Pretty soon we're going to be screaming for trees!
Japanese death row inmates are not told their date of execution.
Well, that's one way to mentally mess with someone... They never know when their last day will be until it's too late. Maybe that's what they deserve.
Hummingbirds have such a high metabolism that they are always hours away from starving to death.
Hummingbirds can quite literally eat all of the time and not gain any weight.
Who you date is only 2% about what you want and 98% who is nearby
Dating is really just about convenience... totally makes sense.
