What is a fun or weird fact that you know, which is 100% true?

[DonkeyDan]

I'll start you off.

Humans don't grow kneecap bones (Patella) until around 2 to 5 years old, they start out as just cartilage, and then start to form bone from within after the age of 2.

One species of Octopus (Argonaut) has a detachable penis. He searches for a mate and gives his life to mate with her. Similar to human males…The tiny male throws a modified arm containing spermatozoa (called a hectocotylus) at the female, which will then swim toward the female's mantle (the sac which stores her organs), finding its way inside and subsequently fertilizing the eggs. A female's eggs can actually be fertilized by more than one hectocotylus by storing them in the mantle cavity. The male's modified arm develops in a pouch under its eye until it’s called upon, at which points it explodes out of the cavity and swims across to the female, attaching itself to her mantle via suckers, and wiggling its way inside. Sounds sexy right? Males will die after throwing their tentacle at the female.

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

But that’s just it, I would hate to imagine hurting my boyfriend.

[Charliefretz329]

I like this scene better… https://youtu.be/3DZ278CMhu0

[Charliefretz329]

But the one you shared was quite powerful

[NamerOfStars]

Cleopatra (the famous one, who had a kid with Julius Caesar) lived closer to the modern day than to the time the Pyramids were built.

Also: Cyrano de Bergerac was a real person, whose life had to be *toned down* for Rostand's play, or no one would have believed it. Among other things, he invented science fiction as we know it today.

[dustybiker]

Always loved fun facts. 🤓
Thisis a good list.

Mammoths were found on Wrangle Island and were said to have lived about 6000 years longer than all the others. Lucky spot.

[NathanDavis]

- lmfao at Chiweenies... that could be "Salchichihuahua" in Spanish

- one million hairs per square inch!! someone like me counted all those, the first time

- now I know where it comes from... (knocking on wood three times)

- can confirm... the few times I've dropped my cats' food, I've always counted every kibble individually... lol

- I wonder how many people in Hawaii really get that Alfred Hitchcock's movie, The Birds...

- "Please close the window..." Sir Isaac Newton

- Queue... gotta love the English language

- I bet in Australia they say ~ovmo~ not overtomorrorow

- *snirtles* that reminds me of someone... lol

- I definitely chew more aggressively when listening to metal

- jelly and jam... what about marmalade though?

[dustybiker]

@NathanDavis Sliced fruit is a secret process everyone know that.
Hey, ever write Mona Lisa a love letter? lol

[NathanDavis]

I would have sent her a list with some great puns... looks like she'd love those... lmao

[dustybiker]

@NathanDavis 😂

[SaoirseS]

If you microwave a pepperoni and cheese pizza on high for 10 minutes it will catch on fire.

[littlemisssparkles]

This made me laugh so hard lol 😆

[HopefulGuy94]

I was surprised when I have heard this. Here it is : We have much more knowledge about the our Milky Way Galaxy than we know about all the water masses and underwater flora , underwater map or anything related to those kind of issues , sounds interesting and also terrifying to me.

[NathanDavis]

if you have two legs... then you have more legs than the average person, think about it... lol

[DonkeyDan]

Very true, ah, at last I'm above average 🤣

[NathanDavis]

lmao... cheers

[Charliefretz329]

I have 3… lol

[AviatorTom]

@NathanDavis And if you're a woman with two nipples, you have fewer nipples than the average woman, because some women have three (or more )

[Charliefretz329]

I saw a man with three nipples at a park this year

[Charliefretz329]

A real, albeit half size, nipple

[NathanDavis]

@AviatorTom men have nipples as well...

and a lot of people have inverted nipples...

and a bunch of other people have no nipples at all... or just one

so there is a chance that some people out there might two nipples... but one is a regular one and the second is the "third" irregular one, somewhere else around the torso

so I guess the calculations would have to be done again

[DonkeyDan]

[Daniela1982]

@Charliefretz329 You guys are not talking legs, but knees. Right knee, left knee, and wee knee.

[DonkeyDan]

[DonkeyDan]

And we all know what he did with that extra leg.

[Daniela1982]

Like they say, get a leg up.

[NathanDavis]

@Daniela1982 I thought they said... "break a leg"

[Charliefretz329]

Yes Dan! That’s the nipple I saw!

[Charliefretz329]

@Daniela1982 yep lol wee knees

[Dongie]

I don't get it. 2 legs

[NathanDavis]

don't do this to me... @Dongie

[Dongie]

How am I missing this?

[NathanDavis]

@Dongie it is math joke... lol

[NathanDavis]

since... not everyone in the world has two legs

when you average the number of legs a person has.. it goes below two... lol

[Dongie]

That goes a far piece.

[NathanDavis]

@Dongie I don't understand this expression... never heard it before

[Dongie]

It's how old timers spoke when I was a wee lad.

[NathanDavis]

@Dongie the brain named itself...

[Dongie]

Here we go.
Ok, how's that?

[NathanDavis]

@Dongie think about it... it really did...

[Dongie]

Because everything has been named by man thus...

[NathanDavis]

@Dongie Thus Spoke Zarathustra as well...

[ChrisMaster69]

Snails can sleep up to three years if the weather isn’t moist enough to meet their needs.

Which sounds like my mates ex girlfriend, it could take her a few seasons to get moist.

[AviatorTom]

Here's one I found very interesting...

Dogs were first domesticated 23,000 years ago... in Siberia

[genericname85]

america officially has a ministry of truth now. so since last month, Orwells 1984 is now actually true fact, not dystopia anymore.

[Dongie]
