Amazing facts you're pretty sure are true
I read today that in a national study 1/4 of all British women over 35 never have sex.
I was shocked by this fact and it got me wondering...what other things don't I know... Whatcha got? |

You don't get catch a cold from being cold, and there's no evidence suggesting vitamin C helps get over it any faster.
You actually catch more flies with Vinegar than with honey. The reason Diet Coke and Mentos creates such a fountain is because the surface of Mentos is filled with microscopic cracks, thereby providing a lot of surface area for bubbles to form, and also because the sweetener in Diet Coke reduces the drink's surface tension. One coordinate is sufficient to precisely define your position anywhere on earth (using 2 just makes it easier) There are over 9000 facts being made up in the world at any given moment. |

Interesting fact about figs. They look kind of like a nut, but they aren't. Some people think they are a fruit or even a vegetable, but the fact is scientists haven't figured out what they are yet.
