Your fist put together (fingers net to eachother) is the size of your brain.
There is a cetin percent of people bitten by other people in NYC, I forget it.

In China people will pay as much money as it takes to get the right phone number. One businessman paid $20,000 for a number he liked. The worst possible numbers to have your phone number end with are 54-74-24, because in Chinese it sounds like, "I die, my wife dies, my child dies."

In the Philippines, taking a foto with friends, with you in the middle is bad luck. So is taking a bath on your birthday.

In Cuba, if you leave a class of water next your bed, and in the morning, there's bubbles, you have god spirits surrounding you.

A bride wears "something borrowed" from a previous bride who has a happy marriage; she wears "something blue" because it signifies virtue. A Chinese bride is never supposed to look in a mirror to insure there will only be one bride.

You burn 300 calories for every hour you laugh, and 1000 for every hour you bang your head against the wall.

Marie Anntoinette never actually said 'Let them eat cake.' She might have thought it- but she's famous for a line that she never actually said.

Vultures can digest meat in any stage of decay, and withstand diseases that would kill any other creature.

Unlike most birds Vultures do not build nests.

Everyone thinks that atoms are just made of electrons, protons and neutrons.
However, each of these are likely to be made up of at least 16 other particles, for example quarks.
And it's these that the ATLAS detector was looking for (the experiment that the media seemed to think would end the world), as well as the Higg's Boson.
And, for the record, the proposal that is was ever going to end the world was just plain ridiculous.

The twin paradox states that if one twin stays on Earth and the other travels into space in a rocket, when that twin returns to Earth he will be younger than the twin who stayed on Earth, according to the theory of relativity.

When the concordes used to fly, across the atlantic from the UK to America, those on board would actually have gained time.
Whilst in the air, they would have gained 0.0725 seconds on everyone at ground level.
So they were, technically, in the future.
(According to atomic clocks, btw. So you can't really argue with that. Most accurate clocks in existance and all).

Every northern state in the United States has a "Springfield".

In the movie trilogy 'The Lord of the Rings' all the background swords are made of melted down skateboard wheels.

If you yelled for 8 years, 7 months, and 6 days, you would produce enough sound energy to heat one cup of coffee.

If you farted consistently for 6 years and 9 months, enough gas would be produced to create the energy of an atomic bomb.
