    Out of 7 billion people alive, someone, somewhere in the world, qualifies as the worst human alive.

    its me!

    Accordion to some people I know, @caco_ethes, I'm the worst.

    You’re my favorite worst

    Accordion to a recent survey, most people don't notice when a musical instrument is inserted into a sentence.

    FTR I noticed but I thought it was cute and didn't want you to change it

    I expect you to notice but @caco_ethes never reads what I post and just writes random *kitten* that happens to work.

    But as a preteen I didn't know this and my celeb crush Sean Austin was 'Seen' until someone told me otherwise. I felt betrayed by Hooked on Phonics.

    Northern lights are referred to as "Aurora Borealis" and southern lights are referred as "Aurora Australis".

    The name Australia is taken from the term "Australis" which, in Latin, means southern.

    "b" is where the line crosses the y-axis.

    There is a sport called Banzai Skydiving. You throw the parachute out of the airplane first and then jump after it.

    Abbreviations, script, contractions, abridgement, and symbolism become prolific from the earliest times when papyrus and ink (or earlier) were scarce, and even transcended through to modern day book printing. Even the smallest character savings could mean a lot through a larger book. Reading an old Farmer's Almanac I found '&c', which is the very condensed version of even the current abbreviation of 'etc.' ('et cetera').

    &c is also a variable reference call in C programming.

    So is my husband!
    He was okay with that until I told him what a dork was. HA! HA! HA!

    It's impossible to sneeze with your eyes open. They close because your eyes would pop right out of your head. Also,
    People say "Bless you!" when you sneeze because when you sneeze your heart stops for a mili-second.

    Apparently sneezing is very risky business. Your heart stops and you can blow your eyes out!
    What about when you get those sneezing fits where you can't stop sneezing. Are you at risk of a heart attack with it stopping over and over again!?!

    All of that is false

    It's because lizards don't have eyelids and you sneeze all the time, right?
