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

Random Fact: This user has the longest possible username on AG.

I find it a bit stupid to create a profile just for this...

Random fact: the developmental fate of every single cell in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans has been mapped. All adult hermaphrodites have the same number of cells, same goes for adult males. Males are very rare, and there are no females.

Some seahorses only have one partner for the rest of their lives, so if one of them die, the other will be alone forever.

Anyone know where this is from?

In Austria a guy fought for three years to wear a spaghetti bowl on his head. He claimed it was because he belonged to the church of the flying spaghetti monsters. He won... that's freedom of religion for you!
