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

In Ohio, nobody can be arrested on Sunday or on the 4th of July.


I'm surprised the small-crime rate isn't lower in Ohio.

But I'm definitely keeping this in mind for the next time I take a trip there.

The last 30 pages of TTICA were c-spam.


30 pages? That's rather generous. I'd say there were at least 100 pages of continuous spam before it got locked. And maybe even that is too generous an estimate.

In many central U.S. states, it is illegal to whale.


Ironically enough, though, there are no marine wildlife preserves in the United States where fishing is illegal.

When a Native American baby is born, the father walks out of the teepee and names the baby after the first thing he sees...I feel sorry for anyone who's dad sees grass growing.

The last 30 pages were definitely c-spam. Also, there was some image spam about 200 pages from the end of TTICA.

I'd feel worse for someone whose dad stepped in a pile of horse droppings.

That was annoying. I tried to make it clear that images should only be posted when relevant, but nobody listened.

Just to make sure this isn't copy and paste spam I'm reciting them from memory.

More than 9 people a year are killed by vending machines.

I was put in a math competition against the top students in my county and I won 1st place. I have pictures to prove that.

That's all I can remember.

The Romance Formula Was discovered!
To find out the calculations are simple:
1)Choose the max age that you want to get married (Ex: 35 years old) and name that unity as 'n'
2)Decide the minimal age that you would start to think about marriage (ex: 23 years old) and name it as ''
3)Make p-n (35-23) and multiply the results by 0.368 (4.4).
4)Then add 4.4 with '' and the result is the perfect age to marry (27.4 years of age in the example).

The romantic equation was created by the Professor Tony Dooly of the New South Wales Univeristy in Australia. He states that his formula have a hit rating of 37%
