I'll start:

Did you know that if you placed a new born child into an environment where they were exposed to people who interacted with them speaking different languages by the age of 2 the child would be able to recognize each one and would change the language they speak based on who they were interacting with? The reason for this is because they would have attained by this point the phonology and morphology and some syntax of the other languages allowing them to pick up on the certain phonemes and morphemes of the other languages.

Only about one-fifth of the world's largest desert, the Sahara, is covered with sand; the remainder is made up of rock formations.

this ones pretty cool:

The Chinese used black pepper to cure cholera, Europeans used it as currency, and Attila the Hun demanded 3,000 pounds of the stuff in exchange for discontinuing his sacking of Rome.

You wouldn't explode graphically is thrown into space without a suit. Exposed areas would swell and the water on your eyes would boil but no explosions. You would have about 15 seconds to observe this before you passed out and then died shortly after.

*strokes fur*.. she's a big kitty but i wubs her. :3.. heres my random fact.. :D.. ightning keeps plants alive. The intense heat of lightning forces nitrogen in the air to mix with oxygen, forming nitrogen oxides that are soluble in water and fall to the ground in rain. Plants need nitrates to survive, so without lightning, plants could not live.

I admit. I've seen many kids being more attracted to the parent of the opposite sex but not "in-love".
