Our state bird was going to be the turkey because everyone ate it and there was so many of them.

Benjamin Franklin was quoted as being the one who wanted the turkey to be our bird, but in fact he merely wanted it to be honored, not necessarily the country's bird.

Your tongue is germ free only if it is pink. If it is white there is a thin film of bacteria on it.

If a statue in the park of a person on a horse has both front legs in the air, the person died in battle; if the horse has one front leg in the air, the person died as a result of wounds received in battle; if the horse has all four legs on the ground, the person died of natural cause.

One of the simplest (we can understand it) yet accurate representation of Einstein's theory of relativitie's gravity is when a person is sitting on a trampoline, another person rolls a ball, and the ball curves towards the person sitting there as opposed to continuing going straight.

I like that horse one, I didn't actually know that one.
I broke my ankle once on a trampoline, I haven't been on once since, but not by my choice, just lack of trampolines. When you crack a whip, the tip is moving faster than the speed of sound. That is why it “cracks”, instead of making a “wooosh” sound. -------------------- If you are going to do nothing, do nothing important.

Wow I never thought of that, and that horse one is interesting.
Hmm, here it goes. The Continuum Fingerboard invented by Lippold Haken was used extensively in the newish Indianan Jones movie. It's quite an interesting um... thing. -------------------- Avatar found by using Google Images. Hooray Resources!

Shrug I don't even know what that is..
If a foreign-born female gives birth on an airplane in U.S. airspace, or on a ship within 12 nautical miles of the U.S. coast, her child automatically becomes a U.S. citizen. -------------------- If you are going to do nothing, do nothing important.

This is just a put random facts for the sake of random.
Me personally? I am the master of useless information, I know things that no one care about...until you want to know then my mind is a blank... The whip came from SNL, and the Plane came from my Economics class Lots of off track topics,yes, but It's all useful at some point I guess XD Ear wax comes in two forms - dry and wet. Your heritage determines what type you will have. Most Black, White, and Hispanics have wet wax, golden brown in color. Asian and Native Americans have dry wax which is grey color. -------------------- If you are going to do nothing, do nothing important.

Amazing, I always forget everything, important or not.
Wait a sec, hmm. The Workers Union is preventing Ford from building more productive factories in the US so its most efficient factory is in, somewhere that starts with Cam I think. -------------------- Avatar found by using Google Images. Hooray Resources!

No this is not a competition. It's just for fun.
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. -------------------- "Tomarows today, and today is yesterday"

A ducks quack does not echo and scientists don't know why
which always sounded fake to me, but I can't find anything that says it's fake.... -------------------- If you are going to do nothing, do nothing important.

I think it might, there was this one mithbusters episode about ducks. The trouble was getting them to quack.
If it was proven as true, I forgot the outcome of that one, then it might have something to do with the pitch of the quack. I do know some random facts but I am drawing a lot of blanks here. The human brain needs only the last and first letters of a word to be in the correct place to disipher it, the rest of the word can be jumbled. The hmuan biran ndees olny the lsat and fsrit lrettes of a wrod to be in the cecorrt pclae to dsphiier it, the rset of the wrod can be jlembud. I may not have done that one right. -------------------- Avatar found by using Google Images. Hooray Resources!
