Fact chain!

[redaxted 1,765]

Hello! I'm here to begin a forum game called fact chain! Post any fact, as long as it contains at least one of the KEY words or figures in the fact above! However, you can change the word a little to make a plural. That's the only reason you should alter a word. Eg:

Me: Young ponies are called fillies!

User1: My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic first aired in 2010.

User2: the Vancouver Winter Olympics were held in 2010!

 

The facts must be actual facts, they must be true, and there must be some way to verify that. Just to be sure, before you post your fact find some way to clarify that it is, indeed, true. So, unfortunately, nothing like: "I ate a waffle yesterday."

Please carry on from the last example fact
