You know when you wear a ring for a long time and then you stop wearing it and it feels like you're still wearing it? That's called muscle memory. Your muscles are still adjusting to not having constant pressure on them so they try to simulate the feeling until they adapt to not having the ring. It takes about two weeks for this to go away.

The Statue of Liberty was actually originally bronze, the green coating is called Petina, and came from the constant sea salts and mist of the harbor.

The duck-billed platypus is actually venomous. It's venom is strong enough to put a grown man in the hospital for about two days and kills smaller animals.

Another thing about the Platypus. When it goes underwater it closes its ears, eyes, and nostrils and senses its prey (they eat small animals sometimes) through electrolocation, which menas that the Platypus can sense electrical impulses from muscle contractions. Studies have shown that it is so sensitive that a Platypus could pick up impulses from shrimp.

Moore's Law says that electronics get about 1/2 as big and 2X as powerful about every 18 months (that's why a "cellphone" in the 80s was huge and got terrible reception whereas now-a-days, a cellphone has more technology in it than a car.)

- The San Francisco 49ers are the only team to have won 5 Super Bowl titles while never losing a Super Bowl.  (Dallas lost 3 & Pittsburgh lost one).

- The correct weight of a hard shelled taco @ Taco Bell is 2.9 oz.

- My shoe size is 11 Wide.

- Pie tastes good.

- The first commercial anime came out in 1917.  I forgot its name, but it was so bad, that all traces of it were destroyed.  Nobody even knows what technique was used for the animation, but a popular belief is taking many pictures of a chalkboard (kinda like South Park).
