Yes. Girls aren't usually impressed when I tell them that. They usually just glaze over and pull out their rape alarm like usual.

*ahem* There have only been 43 U.S. presidents. The reason why Obama is considered the 44th president is because Grover Cleveland is counted as both the 22nd president and the 24th president, due to his non-consecutive terms. *returns to mother's basement*

Yet having at least 3 on the outside, interesting. It'd be funny if during it he made a typo and hit e, seeing as I have no idea about it im assuming he wrote it within the time of typewriters.

Well they would have said to a scribe "Hey Kajiittakaffakarkar, I'm just off to bury Ghengis, the man who conquered Asia and 1300 years from now will have 1 out of 250 people related to him. He's so hella badass, we will bury him, ride off, kill ourselves, and nobody can touch his grave, and junk."

It is believed that Shakespeare was 46 around the time that the King James Version of the Bible was written. In Psalms 46, the 46th word from the first word is shake and the 46th word from the last word is spear.

Post an interesting fact that you believe few people will know.

I'll start.

Bats always turn left when exiting a cave.

The phrase "rule of thumb" is derived from an old English law which
stated that you couldn't beat your wife with anything wider than your thumb.

The etymology of that word makes me doubt about its orthography. Or the possible etymology that is, cause I cant find internet sources right now on that word's etymology.
