Odd Facts Thread!
Hello everyone! I was just reading my Cricket mag last night and some of the messages in the Letterbox inspired to start an Odd Facts thread! This thread will be a place where you can but random information you happen to know out for the world to see! I don't know if anyone else is like this, but when I hear a fact like this, I have to share it with someone! So go ahead and share your knowledge and knowhow with the world!
