  • Farmers in England are required by law to provide their pigs with toys.
  • Ninety-nine percent of pumpkins sold in the United States are for the sole purpose of decoration.
  • Fact: Einstein's last words were in German, but the nurse taking care of him didn't understand what he said. :[

  • There are 152 ridges on a standard American quarter.
  • A picture of Superman appears in every episode of Seinfeld, usually a magnet on his fridge.
  • Komodo dragons kill their prey by biting it. Their mouths are so filthy and full of bacteria that what they bite runs off and dies from infection. 
  • Cats are more likely to be able to survive a fall from 100 ft compared to, say, 20 ft. This is because cats don't have a fatal terminal velocity, so more time in the air allows them to have more time to right themselves and brace for their fall.
  • Hummingbirds can fly backwards. No other bird can do this.
