Random Facts.. They can be facts about ANYTHING, even yourself.
Example:
No words in the English language rhyme with month, orange, silver, or purple
"Dreamt" is the only English word that ends in the letters "mt".
It's impossible to sneeze with your eyes open.

Or maybe it's got something to do with being right-handed or left-handed.

Up until you are about 5 years old your arms are not long enough to allow you to reach across the top of your head and grab your ear.

If you have an 8 year old son and hear a loud noise followed by the words "uh oh" you better investigate.

In every episode of Seinfeld there is a Superman somewhere.
(This is more like a rumor. I've watched a LOT of Seinfeld, and never noticed this. Anyone else?)

There is ongoing research to grow a square watermelon. Not only does it would stack well, but you could slice it like bread. | |
