I am one who loves knowledge. Particularly, I love useless information that makes people question my sanity. Yeah, there's Ripley's Believe or Not, or the World Record books out there, but there are just some things that are proven fact that people never really think about, or are so bizarre that they make you ask "Dafuq?" over and over, trying to get the mental image out of your head.....

So without further ado, post the weirdest or normal-est random facts that you think everyone(pony) should know!

That way, you can learn something everyday (and impress/weird out your teachers, friends, family, and the random person walking down the street that wonders about your sanity after the fact (and then proceeds to walk into a large intimate object due to their oblivious pondering cuz its funny).

 

 

Did you know?

 

The human heart is capable of squirting blood at least 30 feet? (or 9.14 meters for those outside the US)

 

Being scared of heights is technically a misnomer, in order to be scared of heights you have to look into the sky and freak out.  Most people who are scared of heights are actually scared of depths.

 

For those familiar with American coins, a dime has 118 ridges around the outer diameter, whereas a quarter has 119 ridges.  I also know why they have those ridges, but I don't really want to go into a historical discussion :P

Every year, around 98% of the atoms in your body are replaced.

 

Elephants can not jump, and are the only mammals that can't. It is also the only animal with 4 knees.

 

One half hour of your life was spent as a single cell.

 

You can have $1.19 (american money) without being able to make change for a dollar. 3 quarters, 4 dimes, and 4 pennies.

  • Your stomach must make a new layer of mucus about every 14 days otherwise your stomach will eat itself. Yum.
  • There is someone in NZ who's official name given to him at birth is "Number 16 Bus Stop".

In the UK, it is illegal for a lady to eat chocolates on a public conveyance.

My favorite: In South Dakota, no horses are allowed into Fountain Inn unless they are wearing pants.

wat. 

how does this even become a law? o.0

 

 

A lot of those "crazy laws" you see in lists online and whatnot aren't actually ridiculous. The actual wording of the law is usually pretty reasonable, maybe just a little vague. What you see in the lists is just the most bizzare and absurd way in which that law could be interpreted or applied.

 

Anyway, how about some horse facts?

 

Horse teeth never stop growing.

 

Horses' hooves grow approximately 0.25 in a month, and take nearly a year to grow from the coronet band to the ground.

 

A horses stomach should always make gurgling noises, an absence of them can mean colic.

 

Arabian horses have one fewer vertebrae and one less rib than other breeds.

 

Horses have the largest eyes of any land animal.

 

Horses produce approximately 10 gallons of saliva a day.

 

 

The intestines of a full grown horse are 89 feet long on average.

Oh, and a hoof is basically a middle finger covered with its own nail.

here's another one! this one is more technical.

 

all the little "wings" (i dunno the english name for them, here in the netherlands we call them 'turbine schoepen') of a gas turbine engine (AKA jet engine) are made of exactly the same amount of material, to decrease vibrations through the machine wich otherwise will damaged it's bearings.

therefore the "wings" are extremely expensive, ranking up to sometimes over 3000 dollars for a single one. a small gas turbine engine contains hundreds of these things.

 

wanna get rich? steal a gast turbine :P

Ok, here are some from my head.

 

NASA only used kilobytes to reach the moon, today we got gigabytes. Embarrassing right?

 

Tsar Bomb was a hydrogen bomb that had the yield of 100 megatons. When it exploded, it was only detonated at 50 megatons.

 

Russia created an artificial lake with a nuclear bomb. 

 

Our Femur bones are as strong as concrete.

Random facts-

The Chinese use the same word for 'crisis' as they do for 'opportunity'.

When you die, your hair still grows for a few months.

Women are 37% more likely to got I a psychiatrist than men.

There are twice as many kangaroos in Australia as there are people. The kangaroo population is estimated at about 40 million.

The roar that we hear when we place a seashell next to our ear is not the ocean, but rather the sound of blood surging through the veins in the ear. Any cup-shaped object placed over the ear produces the same effect.

"Goodbye" came from "God bye" which came from "God be with you."

2013 is the first year since 1987 where all four digits are different from each other.

The 50-star American flag was designed by an Ohio high school student for a class project. His teacher originally gave him a B–.

Officials in Portland, Ore., drained 8 million gallons of water from a reservoir in 2011 because a buzzed 21-year-old peed in it.

Prairie Dogs say hello with kisses. :3
