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

Bodies take longer to decompose when buried, and the stages of growth of maggots are egg, 1st instar, 2nd instar, 3rd instar, pupa, adult. The levels of potassium in the vitreous fluid in the eye are useful in determining the postmortem interval or time between death and when the body was found, as long as there are no drugs in the body at time of death. The least common type of fingerprint is the arch, which I have on both of my index fingers, but not on any of my other fingers. You cannot take DNA from hair unless it was removed forcably with the folicle still attached. Toe prints, lip prints, ear prints, and finger prints are all unique.

THANK YOU FORENSICS!
