RANDOM FACTS
I think we had one of these once, and it was really fun. In this thread, just say random facts! You can edit the facts if you're not mean about it, or just post something entierly unrelated- I don't care! Maybe it's something you found out about your own CBer username! Just highten the IQ of everyone in the CB!
Here's mine:
Some people (probably) think I don't know how to spell "reincarnated". I do, obviously. It's just that the age box doesn't give me enough space for all of the characters. So, instead, I put "recarnated", which sounds about right. But my parents told me, that, translated, recarnated basically means "re-meated"! Your body comes back! So, in a way, "recarnated" is correct! Instead of coming of soul, it's coming of body.

The meat thing is actually what I thought when I saw 'recarnated' as well! Definitely has a more sinister twist to it, wow. Very Sweeney Todd.
Fact: The shortest correspondence in history happened when Les Misérables was published: Victor Hugo was on vacation at the time, and he sent his publisher a telegram reading "?", which was responded to with a "!".
This is more or less exactly how my friend and I communicate in times of excitement, so we must be doing something right. Victor Hugo. What a dude.
Also: apple trees are a member of the rose family, a vast number of the earth's population is descended from Ghengis Khan, and! best of all: modern reactions to loving a work of fiction never really changed! The Iliad was serious business during Ancient Greek times to the point of there being. like. ship wars. Newspapers published bad Sherlock Holmes fanfiction after Arthur Conan Doyle killed him off.
In conclusion: humans can be wonderful!

Every single male character who has fangirls: Oh. No. Run.

I can think of one fact:
Tomatos are realated to nightshade, one of the worlds most deadly plants! Yikes.

So that's why I hate them so much.
In Louisiana, it's illegal to tie alligators to fire hydrants.
After Arthur Conan Doyle killed SHerlock Holmes off, newspapaers ran obituaries. Also, Arthur was jumped by an old woman (WITH A PURSE) and some hooligans wearing deerstalker caps.

Why would you EVER tie an alligator to a fire hydrant?!?!?!

Never underestimate the power of human stupidity, Bow.
Oh, also (this is kinda gross):
Mike the Headless Chicken, aka Miracle Mike, lived for 1 2/3 years after his head had been cut off. He could still walk, etc. You're weird, nature!

People have invented glowing ice cream! It's made out of jellyfish fat, and every time you lick it it glows brighter.
And ship wars?! Wooooooow. These people got a little carried away. I can imagine it now:
Boom. "Ronmione!"
Ka-boom. "Harmony!"
Bratta bratta bratta. "No, Ronmione!"
Bang! "HAR.MO.NYYYYYY!"
(September 29, 2015 - 5:13 pm)
Harmony for the win!

Spider silk is in fact the strongest substance in the world, stronger than steel. But since spiders spin there thread so thin, t's easily breakable. But if you were to get a thread as thick as a pencil, it could stop a moving airplane.
