So, tell me (and everyone else) something which you are pretty sure not many people know. Not like "I have a pet fish named fluffy, fluffy is nice" but something interesting that is not personal to you which you'd like to share.
For example:
According to United States FDA standards, 1 cup of orange juice is allowed to contain 10 fruit fly eggs, but only 2 maggots.
You dont know that you dont know something

(you will be struggling to understand this one for hours)

The film "The Day After Tomorrow" shares its name with a 1975 television special, an O.C. episode, a J-pop band and a Tom Waits song. The novel "Sixth Column" by Robert Heinlein had the alternative title "The Day After Tomorrow".
In Japanese, 'The Day After Tomorrow' can be expressed by the word 'asatte'. I have no idea what the movie was called when released in Japan.

When you touch something... anything... the atoms in your body aren't actually coming into contact with the other atoms... the electron clouds just get as close as they can before the repellant force stops them from getting any closer.

Moray Eels have two sets of jaws. One Jaw holds the food in place (the jaw we see). A second set, much like the tooth-tongue things that the creatures from "Alien/Aliens" have, extends and bites off the chunk of food.

If you want to get a hard-on the smooth muscules in your penis have to relax.

Viagra was originaly made als a vessel dialator. Patients getting a hard-on was a side effect.
After seeing this they started marketing Viagra as a medicin to help males with erectile dysfunction.

I did a paper on the theoretical use of viagra for patients with pulmonarie hypertension.

EDIT: I just read it is not theoretical anymore. It was a couple years a go i wrote the paper.

Thank god for that, imagine the news headines: "50 die in fusion reaction - Local: 'Someone tripped over and... it was horrible!'"

;D

The Antikythera_mechanism:

The first known clockwork design was found in the waters of the mediterranean. It had over 30 gears and acted as an early time/date calculator. It is over 2000 years old.

The physics we're all familiar with is called Newtonian Physics, which is also called classical physics. It describes the motion of large things from ping-pong balls, to planets, stars, and even galaxies. You can know exactly where something is, how fast it's going, and where it will be in the future.

Just as light sometimes acts like a wave and sometimes acts like a particle, solid matter also can act like both a solid and a wave. It's just the effect is too small to notice unless you're working on an atomic scale.

The physics that describe very tiny things is called Quantum Mechanics. It describes the motion and properties of very tiny things like atoms and light photons. In quantum mechanics, the impossible happens all the time. A particle can literally be in two places at once. It can teleport through a barrier it shouldn't be able to go through. (That's called quantum tunneling.) That's just the tip of the ice burg. Quantum mechanics is governed by probability, but nothing is known for certain. The more accurately you know a particle's speed, the less you know about its location, and vice-versa.

So we have a set of rules for very tiny things, like atoms, and we have a set of rules for big things, like apples, people, and planets that are completely different. Scientists don't know how apples can have a different kind of physics than the atoms its made of. Answering that question is the modern day Holy Grail for scientists.

Windows 7 is NOT made of fail and stale ejaculate.

The most super awesome commando force in the second world war two was made up of Americans and Canadians. They were called the Devil's Brigade. And they were awesome b/c they left calling cards on corpses.

Nuclear power is not bad. It is the cleanest source of practical electrical power generation available today.

Did you know that if Kirk Hammet had won poker against Cliff at his last day Kirk would be dead and Cliff still alive? They played poker on who would choose wich bed to sleep in and Cliff won.

After the end of the First World War, Britain didn't pay back the entire debt it owed to America before the outbreak of the Second World War. After WWII it paid back the debt from that war but never paid it back from the first. Britain still owes America SHIT loads of money, with interest.

Also, the fingerprint of a Koala are almost indistinguishable from that of a human.

When Leon Trotsky was assassinated in August 1940 via an ice axe to the head, he was able to stand up, turn around and spit in his assailants face before dying in hospital the next day.

The use of Che Guevara on posters and t-shirts is one of the most ironic things to happen in the entire history of the world and most people don't even realise why.

During the great unrest in Wales in the early 20th century, male voice choirs toured around the country to raise money for the striking miners.

Winston Churchill started out as a Conservative, moved over to the Liberals where he was responsible for the instigation and subsequent failure of the Dardanelles campaign of Feb 1915 - Dec 1915. After that, he went and rejoined his old military regiment before once again returning to the world of politics as a Conservative.

Now you know.
