1. 'Death by chocolate' actually occurred once in Mexico in the 17th Century:
Yep, you read that right! It is indeed possible to die from eating chocolate. I don't think that will stop many of you though, I know I can put away quite a few choccie bars before feeling any side effects.
2. If you wanted you could theoretically survive on a diet consisting of only butter and potatoes:
So if you like jacket potatoes and butter you're on to a winner. But if you're anything like me and love food waaaay too much, it's best to eat other things as well!
3. There was a man who survived a train crash, a door coming off an aeroplane, a bus crash, a firey car, and two car accidents and then won the lottery:
I can't quite decide if this guy is extremely lucky or extremely unlucky:S I guess it's a bit of both.
4. Faking confidence can actually improve your brain chemistry and improve your life:
Not sure if this is scientifically proven, but if you think about it then it kind of makes sense. Whether it's true or not, I'm definitely going to give it a go, what are you going to lose?
5. If you eat a polar bear liver you will die.
Turns out humans can't handle that much Vitamin A. So yeah, don't go eating them livers.
6. Honey does not spoil, you could in fact eat 3000 year old honey:
But I probably wouldn't. Also it does crystallize, which takes the fun of eating a sticky mess away *sarcasm*
7. Male elephants sometime use their penis as a 5th limb:
Wow, way to make use of what you've got. That's got hurt though right? But I guess having a really long penis could be really useful for many things, but anyway, we digress.
8. Mozart wrote a Canon entitled 'Leck Mich Im Arsch', which literally translates as 'Lick me in the Arse':
Okay then, who knew Mozart had such a dirty mind...
9. Citrus has been added to coffee for several hundred years:
There we go, they say coffee can be bad for you, but who knew it was actually part of your 5 a day, (Okay, the part of your 5 a Day wasn't actually a fact, but I wish it was!)
10. Maine is the only state in the USA to have only 1 syllable in its name:
Okay, I guess if you really thought about it you could have worked it out, but still, for the more lazy among you it pretty darn interesting. (Maybe, if you're into that stuff).11. The bubble is Guinness sink to the bottom rather than float to the top as in other beers:
God, Guinness, what a hipster.
12. Pope Francis has only one lung:
There we go, just goes to show that you can over come anything. (Just helping to motivate you on a Monday).
13. You speak about 4,800 words a day:
Unless you're me, then you spend hours without saying anything, spend a few hours talking at the speed of light, and then a few hours non-stop laughing because you're going through your weird phase of the day.
14. There are about 300 bones in your body when you are born, bu by time you reach adulthood you only have 206:
So in actual fact when you think you're growing you're actually disappearing... oooo, jave we discovered a paradox? Nahh, only joking, but that is a weird thought o.O
15. Over 10,000 birds a year die from smashing into windows:
You'd think they'd learn...
Only joking, I always feel really sorry for birds when they fly into windows:((
And there we are again, at the end of another blog! I know this wasn't the most thought out blog, but I had a lot of fun making it and learning lots of interesting but weird things, and I hope you had fun reading it too. Leave us a comment telling me what you make of these facts and whether you already knew any of them. Also comment any interesting facts of your own, because I'm always interested to hear more.
