The Fun Fact Thread

How the hell do you use 57 sheets a day? I only need to use it about every three days, and I only use, like twelve or fifteen sheets.

Yo, the dude who said that the "F-Hole" on the violin is a "S" does NOT want me or that dude here that plays the cello to prove you wrong.

The largest cat currently in existence is Hercules the liger, who weighs approximately 550 kg:



The heaviest recorded cat ever, as listed by the Guinness World Book of Records, was a male liger living in the Bloemfontein zoological gardens, South Africa, in the 1880s. He tipped the scales at a whopping 798 kg when he was weighed in 1888.

...how on Earth can you go three days without needing to use toilet paper?

I guess I just don't eat much...


I've seen Hercules. He lives at Jungle Island, a zoo/theme park close to me.

Surprisingly, Doctors will usually consider up to four days without ****ting to still be in the healthy range.

I don't eat much, usually a half-bagel for breakfast, a little bit of chicken-and-rice for lunch, and not much for dinner.

Wow. I eat a large bowl of cereal for breakfast, two sandwiches for lunch, and a decent sized dinner. And sporadic snacks of various sorts in between.

EDIT: Oh, and I've been eating around this much ever since I was 5.

At resteraunts and mainly parties, I eat a LOT, though, ie. six slice of pizza, two cookies, half a bag of chips, and a whole bag of chex mix.

No wonder why, you must be starving. I usually eat some cereal and some other stuff for breakfast, either a huge amount of fast food or random things I can find, and dinner is usually pizza or another fast food place. And no, I am not fat.

I look sort of fat, but I'm technically not overweight.
I'm always extremely hungry around 11 o' clock, before lunch.

Enjoy your adolescent metabolisms while they last, but it would be dangerous to think that this happy time will last forever.

That's a good thing for me. My mom usually complains that I eat half the fridge, then eating some more a few hours later. Yet, I have only grown about three inches in the last several years. Rapid my arse.

Looking at my parents, heredity will probably keep me extremely skinny my entire my life.

Today I ate a lot for breakfast, actually. Six slices of toast, two glasses of juice, and a nectarine.

Looking at how much my family is able to eat without gaining weight, I think I'll be safe for a long while.

EDIT: Also, to elaborate, I'm underweight as it is, so gaining a bit of weight would actually be a good thing.

Fun Fact: Tokyo was originally a small fishing town called Edo.

I'll be good. I have a high metabolism.

But it quickly grew, and became the capitol because many shogun and daimyos lived there.

FUN FACT: The protein content in ketchup comes from bugs that are in the tomatoes they use.

Oh, bullsheet.

Totally untrue.

I don't know about ketchup, but there is a government law that allows insect parts in cereal. I forget what the exact ratio is, but I think it's something like 100 parts for every two cups of cereal.
