Random Facts!
I love learning all sorts of new and random things so I thought it would be cool if we had a thread to share all the crazy facts we learn!
For instance, I found out yesterday that there are approximately 1.6 millions ants for every human being on this planet. This is disgusting but so cool because ants are all about claiming territory and this is how they do it! So please feel free to post and share your facts with the rest of the forum!

TBH this thread is probably easier as we're not necroing old threads or whatever it's called.
Uhhh... Random fact. A wolf pup’s eyes are blue at birth. Their eyes turn yellow by the time they are eight months old.

The Head of State of Japan, Akihito, is the only remaining emperor in the world.
Btw, do these random facts have to be true?

Lol. Facts are supposed to be true? de facto?
Titin, the largest known protein, is also the longest word in any language. (The full chemical name is 189,819 letters long.)

You inherit mitochondrial DNA only from your mother.

Heh, nice idea for a new thread. You never know, one of these random facts might come up in a pub quiz or such like.
Saying that, my random fact comes from a question in the most recent pub quiz I went to. RFact: The longest ever film title has 42 words. This is the full title. "Night of the Day of the Dawn of the Son of the Bride of the Return of the Revenge of the Terror of the Attack of the Evil, Mutant, Alien, Flesh Eating, Hellbound, Zombified Living Dead Part 2: In Shocking 2-D" Link

Ha. You love females ;D
Over hundreds of years, thousands of ostriches have been watched by researchers and there hasn't been one single recorded case of an ostrich burying it's head in the sand.

The placement of a donkey's eyes in its' heads enables it to see all four feet at all times!
So jealous! ...Except that I don't have four feet... But that's so cool!

Always wondered why this was the case and now I know!
A chicken with red earlobes will produce brown eggs, and a chicken with white earlobes will produce white eggs. Last edited by RubyRed; 20-09-2010 at 05:29 AM.

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

In the past, when a clan no longer wanted a member in it, they would burn down their house. This is where the expression “to get fired” comes from.
