| There was a dog in Paris in the early 1900s who was revered as a hero dog in France for rescuing children who fell into the Seine, until they realized it had learned to start pushing children into the Seine itself any time it wanted a reward | |

Did you know that in English, you can spell all the way to 999 without ever using the vowel 'A'? The earliest point at which an A can be used is 1000, as in a thousandth. Now that's some dedication to ignoring one vowel lol |

| There is an unaired TV pilot from the late 90s in which John Malkovich plays a young Caravaggio during his days as a knife-fighting street pimp, largely centered around his clashes with a rival brothel owner played by Harvey Keitel, until a run-in with a mentor-figure played by Robert Loggia sets him on a slow and often turbulent path into becoming the master painter we know today | |

One of the weirdest facts, and also probably the weirdest way to get knighted, period: Apparently, Henry VIII bestowed a knighthood on all four of his “Grooms of the Stool”. And yes, these were the four people in charge of wiping his butt. |

| There is a modestly sized barefoot running community, full of people who for some reason decided to stop wearing shoes and instead cultivate the grossest calloused feet you can imagine. Anyway, after a few years of long distance running, many community members discover that their feet start to widen, there are bigger gaps between their toes, etc, leading to some of these people beginning to believe that they've discovered the true missing link in evolution, seeing as they've now got fucked up chimp-feet from running barefoot on concrete for thousands of miles. This is an ongoing topic of discussion in that community, and something absurd and idiotic I have to hear about from my most annoying colleague at least once a week. | |

The statistical average number of legs per human is LESS than two, because the average is less than 2, a person with two legs is actually above-average when it comes to the amount of legs. |

cats and humans share about 90% of the same DNA, yet nothing compares to pigs, which share 98%. dogs on the other hand are only 84%, which is proof both pigs and cats are better companions than dogs (i love both dogs and cats equally) |

I love this because of the sheer existential dread it causes lol -- apparently, the Earth's speed of rotation is actually slowing. So the length of a day actually increases by a second every century. |

| Octopuses have three hearts. The main heart and 2x sub-hearts for their gills. When they swim, the main heart stops, so they prefer to crawl. No clue why it stops \o/ | |

The oldest wheel that we have physical proof of is wooden, and it's over 5000 years old. It's on display at a museum somewhere in Europe -- I forget the exact country. |

When I played football in high school my offensive line coach used to always love to hit us with super random facts so I feel like I'm perfectly setup to do this. His favorite two were that it only takes 12 pounds of pressure to break a persons wrist and 4 pounds of pressure to rip off someone's ear. |

President Lyndon Johnson would routinely show off his wiener to his staff without any second thoughts. He nicknamed it "Jumbo", and would also continue to hold meetings from the shitter if he ever had to go to the bathroom during one. Crazy motherfucker. |
