And before taking any of these funny things as facts, better double check them. For example the swallowing 8 spiders is from a study from the late 90’s where a researcher tested how quickly urban legends spread on the then rapidly growing internet. She tried to calm the legend down later, announcing it is a hoax, yet the hoax still lives on. And Donald Duck has never been banned in Finland.
Shakespeare did invent something like 20,000 new words to the English language, mostly through a process called verbing. To assasinate is one which is created with this process. At least that one was correct. And the tiger and polar bear factoids were too.
22 : possible; 41 : depends on which languages you learn geography; 48: I do;
4, 26, 28, 39 etc… = be more precise instead of using word “average”…
Really useless facts lol :-p …
