-You can tell the temperature by counting the chirps of crickets at night within a span of 40 seconds.
-The Centennial Light is the world's longest burning lightbulb, burning for over a century within a fire station in Livermore, California.
-Contrary to popular belief, nail and hair do not grow even after the death of the human body. The shrinking and shriveling of the skin creates the illusion of growing skin and hair.
-The Space Core will never go to space. Space does not exist.

Thomas Edison had a serious beef with Nikola Tesla. Tesla once worked with Edison on developing alternating current (or AC) to power homes with electricity but then left the project when he realized Edison was a jackass. Tesla developed direct current(or DC) which turned out to be far superior than AC (because your homes are all powered by DC today).

That didn't stop Edison from being dickhead of the century. He held public rallies where he rigged DC power lines to look like shit by publicly electrocuting animals with DC power.

Thomas Edison = fuckface mcgee

When performing "kaishaku" (acting as second for some undergoing ritual seppuku), you're supposed to leave a strip of skin at the front of the victim's neck to prevent the head from rolling around inelegantly after it's been severed.

There is a whole other spectrum of emotions which are triggered by the heart beating at varying speeds at different times. Very few people will ever experience these emotions, and the ones will experience it when they are having a pacemaker check.

Actually, it's the other way around, Tesla developed AC current, which is what we use to power pretty much everything today.

Indeed, Edison was a total prick.

When you land your air plane in Amsterdam, you're 4,5 meters below sea level.
In fact, without proper usage of dykes The Netherlands would look like this:

With the white parts being the ones that are not flooded with seawater.

Another cool fact, I live in one of those save zones! yay me.

Cool fact !! I live in the part that floods first -.- ..

Oopsies, I mixed it around. I posted this before devouring my daily amount of 2 gallons of coffee. Good call sir.

the "star" betelguese is not actually a star but a cluster of galaxies giving it its reddish color opposed to straight white.

No it's not, it is a star, a red supergiant, I don't know where you heard that but it's wrong. Something interesting about it though is that when it goes supernova it will be a bright as the sun. And even cooler it may happen within our lifetimes.

I've driven over the Zeelands before, big bridges between them.

They have some of my favorate named towns there

Hellevoetsluis is the best, but I like Kamperland (because I imagine it's where half of the people playing COD live) and Steenburgen.
