There are more cells of bacteria in your body than human cells
It takes a photon, on average, 170,000 years to travel from the core of the sun to the surface.
111,111,111 × 111,111,111 = 12345678987654321.
There’s a gas cloud in the constellation of Aquila that contains enough alcohol to make 400 trillion trillion pints of beer.
The world’s oceans contain 20 million tons of gold
The dates 4/4, 6/6, 8/8, 10/10, and 12/12 all fall on the same day of the week during any one year.
In 1938, Adolf Hitler was Time magazine’s Man of the Year and in 1939, he was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize.
A “dancing plague” killed people in Strasbourg in 1518.
A “dancing mania” began in July 1518, when a woman began to dance fervently in a street for about four to six days. Eventually she was joined by about 400 dancers. There aren't any concrete statistics on fatalities, but some of these people eventually died from heart attack, stroke, or exhaustion.
Marilyn Monroe had a higher IQ (163) than that of Albert Einstein (160).
The bushes and clouds in Super Mario Bros are the same, just coloured differently.
All my posted facts within my posts are verified as genuine but feel free to check. I cannot speak for any other people's posts within the thread.
Half of all humans who have ever lived, died from malaria.
Once Charlie Chaplin entered a contest for “Charlie Chaplin look-alikes” and he came in third.
Fold over a piece of paper 42 times and it will reach the moon
54 million people alive right now will be dead within 12 months.
A tree is the opposite of your lungs. Physically and functionally.
If you put all the earth’s ants in one pile, and all the earth’s humans in another pile, the pile made of ants would be bigger (have more mass).
The population of Ireland is still 2 million less than it was before the potato famine, 160 years ago.
Napoleon was not unusually short. The French inch was longer than the British inch, so while he was thought to be 5’2” by most of the world, in reality he was closer to 5’7”, an average height for a Frenchman. (still pretty short though!)
There is a rubbish swirl in the ocean the size of Texas.
Black HP printer ink costs roughly 1,400 times as much as crude oil, gallon for gallon.
Humans have the genetic capability to hibernate.
All mammals are equipped with the genetic mechanisms for hibernation, which can be used as an extreme survival tactic. Read more about the actual science here.
Wombat poo is square.
President Lyndon B. Johnson owned an amphibious car and used to drive guests into the lake to scare them, screaming about brake failure.
A shamanic group in Mexico worships Coca-Cola as a healing drug
The Mongolian Navy at one point consisted of a tugboat and seven men.

edit: it's almost the same equation but with a minus sign. If we started with an A4 piece of paper (297 mm) and folded it lengthways every time, its length is 297 mm * 2^-n where n is the number of folds. After 32 folds that's 0.07 nm, similar to the atomic radius of hydrogen. It would be a column of single atoms. I.e. you'd need a bigger sheet of paper to reach the moon than A4.
