    100 years ago, most people owned horses and only the rich could afford cars. Fast forward to today, most people own cars and only the rich can afford to own horses.

    The kettles from Salvation Army at Christmas go to their church funds and not to shelters or food banks.

    There are no real pictures of our planet Earth. Not one. They are all photoshopped and put together. Not one real photo. Fact.

    Oh my. When I heard a story about a soccer mom who refused to believe there is such a thing as outer space, etc. I thought it was a joke. Perhaps theFlat Earth Society is running rampant these days.

    I don't remember the exact stat but I heard once if you're dating someone of your same race in your same country you likely have related ancestors less than 5 generations back.

    @MrStabbems will tell ya.

    Except.. yeah.

    Unless you are 2nd generation immigrants.

    I double checked myself... it's from your same country (and same race/ethnicity) and fewer than 10 generations

    I remember reading somewhere that no one on the planet is more distantly related than 13th cousin...

    If you imagine the Universe without life. It's just a bunch of things doing things, without knowing that they are doing anything at all.

    Double-Stuf oreos are actually 1.86 times more stuffed than regular Oreos. Do you feel slightly cheated?

    The brain is the most complex thing ever, according to the brain. So complex that it can't understand itself or it's so stupid it can't understand itself. It's like the brain has told everyone that its so complex to hide the fact that it's stupid. Which is the smartest thing the brain has ever done.
