★ Amazing Facts.
Post some amazing facts, or just odd facts, bizarre facts?
Hell, I'll settle for any facts. - When placed in warm milk, raisins re-plump into grapes. - Whispering instead of talking on cell phones saves significant battery power. - The metal backs of iPods are made from recycled zippers. - Every sixteen minutes, someone named Richard dies. - Dolphins kill more people annually than sharks and influenza combined. - Three out of every ten nickels has been in someone’s mouth. - If you hold one nostril closed for 72 hours, you will slowly lose the ability to see color. (Your sight will instantly return to normal when you release your nostril.) - Wave a magnet at the lower left corner of a vending machine to receive a free soda. - The glossy paper from the backs of stickers can be used to soothe sunburn. - In Austria, the traditional Christmas colors are not red and greed, but purple and clear. - The Z in Jay-Z’s name stands for “Zeppidemus.” - The average person inhales 3 pounds of spider webs in his or her lifetime. - Winnie the Pooh started out as a non-fiction account of mental illness. - Reading backwards for twenty minutes burns the same amount of calories as walking a half-mile. - Revolving doors were first invented as a way to keep horses out of department stores - Human beings and anteaters are the only animals that can snap their fingers. - If you soak a baseball hat in coke, and then let it dry on someone’s head, over a 3-hour period the hat will shrink with skull-denting force, causing intense pain and irreparable damage.
