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

The most deadly animal is the mosquito

only if they have/transport the malaria virus, without that virus they are harmless.

did you know that sharks bite humans only once? mostly because they think we are seals. because sharks dont like human blood.

sharks get, like other animals, eaten by humans (shark fin soup) and maugre/netherles do people fear them!

if a shark (or more than one) surrounds you just pee in the water, because sharks dont like human blood and in urin are small traces of blood.

Drinking loads of water turns your urine clear.
Blackberries turn urine red, as well as rhubarb pie.
Asparagus turns urine slightly green and rhubarbs (plain) and aloe turn urine brown.

Also not drinking any water at all will turn your urine brown.

Doesn't seem logical either.

Blackberries turn urine red


I ate a ton of blackberries the other day. Aside from the usual dehydrated brown color, I didn't notice anything unusual.

They can also be made from human hair.

If you talk on the telephone too long, you'll get what's called "Telephone Elbow". It causes pain and stiffness in the elbow if you have your elbow bent more than 90 degrees for too long.
