Top Ten Unbelievable Facts

Some things you hear about are just plain unbelievable. Infact, some of them sound completely made-up. I’ve rounded up ten of the most unbelievable facts I could find. I don’t know if they are really, truly, factually correct, but i’ve verified each fact on multiple sources so I can be kind of sure…

1. Back in the day, an asteroid smashed into the earth, wiping out every single dinosaur on the planet. Well not everything, because not a single salamander, tortoises, crocodiles or even toads were affected. Many people have tried, but know one knows why/how this could possibly be.

2. If you’re ever bored enough and found yourself digging a hole in the ground, you’d need to dig for about 4,000 miles to reach the centre. But that’s not the cool fact…If you felt like showing the earth exactly whose boss, you should drop a brick down your epic hole in the ground. The brick will take approximately 45 minutes to hit the middle (and probably cause a massive explosion wiping out everything but your pet toad Neville).

3. Like maths? Me neither, but next time some little twerp with his protractor wanders over to you sniffling, and gives you crap for sucking, unleash this bad boy on the bespectacled fool: 1 x 8 + 1 = 9; 12 x 8 + 2 = 98; 123 x 8 + 3 = 987; 1234 x 8 + 4 = 9876; 12345 x 8 + 5 = 98765; 123456 x 8 + 6 = 987654; 1234567 x 8 + 7 = 9876543; 12345678 x 8 + 8 = 98765432; 123456789 x 8 + 9 = 987654321

4. The average person dreams at least 1,460 times a year. Which if you want to get personal means that i’ve shared my bed with more Playboy bunnys than there are fat cops in a Dunkin Donuts.

5. One of my favourite facts of all time: It is physically impossible for a pig to look up at the sky. Brilliant.

6. Next time you sing ‘Happy Birthday’ to little Timmy, you need to be fully aware that you are infringing on the copyright of Warner Chappel Music. They own the rights to the song, and make over $1 million in royalties every year from commercial use of the song.

7. When we are born, the average human has 350 bones in their body. However when we reach adulthood we only have 206. So now you know that that creepy shadow you saw in your room when you were young was actually a bone doctor, bred for his skills in keyhole bone removal surgery. In reality however, its because some of your bones merge together because they are lonely, or something.

8. Children laugh a massive 400 times a day, whereas adults laugh just a miserable 15 times. Doctor, doctor I keep thinking there’s two of me…One at a time please… Thats 16 laughs now, right? Anyone?

9. If you shrunk the worlds population to 100, with all the population ratios remaining the same, the world would have; 57 Asians, 21 Europeans, 14 from the Americas and 8 Africans. Sadly there would only be one person with a computer. Everyone would be jealous, and the smallest ever world war would break out. Probably.

10. One for the righty’s: Statistics have shown that right-handed people live on average 9 years longer than left-handed people. You maybe have specially designed left-handed scissors, but at least we’ll live to use ours.

And thats your lot. Well, i tell you what, if you’ve had the patience to read through this little list, i’ll reward you with this final nugget of awesomeness: Hilter only had one testicle. No wonder he was so pissed off…
