Hey everybody. Everybody loves random facts, right? So I've created this topic to discuss about them.
They must be interesting and real (no need to cite sources, but they must be real) and (according to the AG rules) they must have 7 or more words.
Let me begin.
In England a woman named Ceejay Epton (age 22) decided to change her name after her son was born. The reason: she wanted to help the baby to learn the alphabet faster. Then she changed her name to
"Ceejay A Apple B Boat C Cat D Dog E Elephant F Flower G Goat H House I Igloo J Jellyfish K Kite L Lion M Monkey N Nurse O Octopus P Penguin Q Queen R Robot S Sun T Tree U Umbrella V Violin W Whale X X-Ray Y Yo-yo Z Zebra Terryn Feuji-Sharemi"
She got the idea from a friend that wanted to be named "Pink" and decided to change her name too.
The good news is that on England, the name changing process is easy and costs £10
did you know that making a pearl is very painfull for a clamb all the time untill its finished? they start with a foreign particle.
I read that a few years ago on a science book. When a particle (a grain of sand, as an example) gets inside the clam's shell, it starts to throw substances in it as a defense mecanism. In the end, a pearl is born! (Not literally, of course.)

You are 3x more likely to have a heart attack when having sex
Also, researchers said that such "relationships" make you lose about 300 Calories (at a time). 10x The calories you lose while sleeping! (for 8 hours).
You are 3x more likely to have a heart attack when having sex and 4x more likely to have a heart attack while exercising.
This fact is extremely ironic though, the only reason you're more likely to get a heart attack is because of the increased blood flow. But doing these things keep your heart healthier and inevitably reduce the risk of heart attack over the long term.
All news reporters are required to take a tricky diction test full of hard to pronounce words in order for them to be hired. It's so that they will be able to speak clearly (i.e. diction). Here it is:
1 hen
2 ducks
3 squawking geese
4 limerick oysters
5 corpulent porpoises
6 pairs of Don Alvairzo's tweezers
7 thousand macedonians in full battle array
8 brass monkeys from the ancient sacred secret crypts of egypt
9 apathetic, sympathetic, diabetic, old men on roller skates, with a marked (mark-ed) propensity towards procrastination and sloth
10 lyrical, spherical, diabolical denizens of the deep who haul quay around the quo of the quivvy of the quarry, ALL AT THE SAME TIME!
Thanks to troopdude, I saw the test on his profile and was reminded of the reporter thing.
