The world is made up of facts. Facts vary over a seemingly unlimited spectrum. Facts are the only way some people can believe in anything. Facts prove scientific theories, and have helped us keep building and transforming our world, building newer and more advanced machines. Facts are the building blocks for tomorrow, and remnants of the past. Facts give us a solid ground, and help us feel safe and secure. All people want to know are the facts.
I have a favorite kind of fact, however. Useless facts. Completely mindless, seemingly useless facts make my day. These facts make me think, wonder, and laugh. After a long day of hard, set in stone facts, I need silly ones to help me stay sane.
