Come one come all and welcome to my random fact thread. As you can tell I am the King of Random Facts and I am here to entertain you all with my reservoir my pointless knowledge. Now lets start this off nicely with a few facts.

2. It takes approximately 144 licks to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop.

3. Ghyti can be pronounced fish. Using the gh from "enough" the y from "rhyme" and the ti from "addtion".

4. According to the film's animators, you'll see 6,469,952 back spots every time you watch "101 Dalmatians".

5. On average a Twinkie will explode after 45 seconds in a microwave.

6. The number of cricket chirps you count in a 15 second interval plus 37 will tell you the current air temperature.

8. In New York City, approximately 1,600 people are bitten by other humans annually.

Okay, didn't want to reply, but well.

Because people are morons. There is nothing wrong with the thread itself. Just the people posting stuff that they copy/pasted, or that isn't actually facts.
Or start spamming.

10. There is a hacker called lulztech.

Read that thread, I don't think it was confirmed that that was the name of the "hacker". Otherwise, people would most likely not be arguing the name of the "hacker", nor defending the crew named Lulztech.


Uh, Did You Know is a fairly interesting Tumblr, which cites its sources for its facts.
Might be slightly NSFW considering it is stating facts.
