Oh yeah and here's a pretty shocking fact:
If you farted consistently for 6 years and 9 months, enough gas is produced to create the energy of an atomic bomb.

Hot water is heavier than cold.

These are both wrong, ligaments in your eyes stopping this are very strong, I think it's so the tiny blood vessels don't burst from too high a pressure, but I don't know if I'm right. And convection currents, as the water goes cold it sinks to the bottom, and the cold ocean currents are deeper than the warm ones. (If it was the other way round the UK would have a climate similar to Scandinavia and Canada, which I don't as right now it's a nice 14C/57F out here!)

My fact:
First records of baseball are from 1749 in Surrey, England. Which was played by Prince Fred and the Earl of Middlesex. This also happened to be a century after we chopped King Charles I's head off.
And Great Britian has had 13 civil wars.

The largest known galaxy is IC 1101. It has a diameter of six million light years, and contains approximately 100 trillion stars.
It is more than 50 times the size of the Milky Way, which contains only 100-400 billion stars and has an ~100,000 light year diameter.

Cats meows hit the same pitch as a baby's cry, so people feel more inclined to take care of the cat.

Actually, we say "bless you" because during the days of the bubonic plague in Europe, a pope (I forget which one) issued an edict that all Catholics must say blessings after every sneeze/cough/etc. so that god would prevent them from getting the black death.

At least, according to my AP Euro textbook.


My fact: Elizabeth I of England was a King, not a Queen, as the title is referring not to gender but to role.
Similarly Cleopatra, Nefertiti, and Hatshepsut were Pharaohs, but they all wore false beards and were treated as men. ^^
Speaking of ancient Egypt, Egyptian royalty had normal-sized ears. They were portrayed with large ears to symbolically represent that they could hear the will of the people; the larger the ears, the more they were loved- at least by the artist.

There's an alien in every episode of one season of South Park. ^^ And Slenderman appears in the background in Gravity Falls, though I don't remember the episode.

The slenderman one is false. It was photoshopped.
