Doesn't everyone know that though? It's not really a weird fact..


Just because everyone knows it doesn't mean it isn't weird.

In Joliet, Illinois, it is illegal to pronounce "Joliet" incorrectly. Conveniently and somewhat ironically, there is a prison in that city.

Seriously .. where's the proof?


Folded 12 times. There's even an equation.

Wierd fact #1: At least five "facts" in this thread are wrong. Two of those have are wrong because they have the wrong units!

Weird fact #2: There is nothing backing up most of these facts.

Wierd fact #3: I'm going to lock this thread if it's just going to be a copy-paste repository of interesting yet trivial "facts", because there are enough of those on the internet.

Weird fact #4: Weird is misspelled twice.

Weird fact #5: These aren't weird.

Weird fact #6: That is just ironic.

That's actually understandable, considering that in certain parts of the Swiss Alps, just about anything can trigger an avalanche. I'm surprised it's legal now if it is.

In that case, I'm buying a plane ticket to Switzerland...

If any noise can trigger an avalanche in that Swiss town, legal or not, I don't see why anyone would live in that town. Seems like it would be a very limiting life.
