    It’s impossible to sneeze with your eyes open.

    Also: Deaf people make no sound, other than a whoosh of air, when they sneeze. Anyone you know or hear sneezing with a loud noise is forcing that sound out.

    Did you know that it is impossible to eat just one serving of brownie brittle? If you can you probably aren't human. As in you must be an alien. I'm pretty sure this is a fact.

    this is true of pumpkin donut holes. i'd discovered that infact i am human. the jury was out on that.

    Most people notice a distinct smell in the air after it rain. That smell after rain is caused by bacteria called actinomycetes.

    Actinomycetesis noted for a filamentous and branching growth pattern that results, in most forms, in an extensive colony, or mycelium.

    x% of y is the same as y% of x.

    For example, 50% of 12 is the same thing as 12% of 50, which is 6.

    Hmm...
    74% of 13 is 9.62 and 13% of 74 is 9.62.

    My mind is blown right now. I thought I was good at math until now.
