    TED talks would be way shorter if people didn't start clapping every 10 seconds.

    I had to go to a few HS graduations recently, and it bugged me that even though they said "hold your applause till the end" people clapped after every single person walked across the stage

    People don't like to be told what to do. They are special snowflakes that rules do not apply to. In situations where roles are reversed they would also be the first to point you out for clapping when they didn't want you to.

    Human nature.

    I've actually know about that trick for a while. However between my two spaghetti spoons, I HAVE THREE DIFFERENT SIZE HOLES.

    That's where I stopped reading and giggled

    They won't ever really make That '90s Show, because it would basically just be Friends.

    The top of the Turtle Shell is called the CARAPACE. The bottom is called the PLASTRON. The shell is made up of 60 different bones, all connected together.

    Before my time, but I was told that Guitarists used to use tortoise shell to make their guitar picks. After it became illegal to do so, Dunlop developed a synthetic version called Tortex.

    You can tell a turtles gender by the noise it makes. The males grunt and the females hiss.

    From 1962 to 1977 The US's launch code for nuclear intercontinental ballistic missiles was "00000000"

    The scary part is, all keyboards had repeat on by default when pushed and held down. Simply setting something on the keyboard that pushed the 0 could enter that.
