Inspired by @BaconGuyMan​

 

People on these forums talk about the skeleton horse jockeys as if they're bad and occur as normal as horses when skeleton horses actually have a 0.02% chance to spawn in a plains biome during a thunderstorm.

 

Witches used to only spawn in witch huts or if lightning struck within 4 blocks of a villager.

You can't ride a horse through a nether portal.

Mules can't breed because they have 63 chromosomes, horses have 64, donkeys have 62. For reference, humans have 46.

Despite common belief, humans did not evolve from monkeys, we evolved from a common ancestor.

Mariana's Trench actually is one of several plate boundaries where one plate is going under another into the earth. This is balanced out by boundaries such as the mid-ocean ridge, where new crust is pushed up.

Adult butterflies have an average lifespan of 2 weeks.

Humans have 3 different kinda of colour receptors in our eyes, red-green, blue-orange, and yellow purple. These pairings are why it's more common to be colourblind to two colours in those pairs.

In Ancient Greece Olympic wrestling was done naked after a girl snuck in disguised as a guy and won.

I'll remember more eventually x:

 

Pi Day in Europe (and places where they follow the D/M/Y format for date) is July 22 instead of March 14 because when you write the date out using the format, it becomes 22/7 (the fraction version of pi).

 

I FOUND MY FUN FACT BOOK

Tulips are actually native to Turkey

The Empire State Building in New York is struck 50 times on average per year

Pluto's very elliptical orbit causes it to go in Neptune's orbit, making it so that Neptune is farther from the sun for a while

Earth is not a perfect sphere, it's slightly squished due to it spinning very fast

While the Northern Hemisphere is inn the season of winter Earth is actually closer to the sun, Earth's orbit is slightly elliptical.

A ruby is more valuable than a diamond

In a plane you can see a whole rainbow (it's a circle)

French fries are Bulgarian, not French

 

In 1912, Franz Reichelt wanted to share his invention, wich was a parachute jacket, with the world, by jumping of off the Eifel Tower. He also died in 1912, now guess how.

 

This is slightly incorrect because pi is an irrational number and can never be written as a fraction (That's basically the definition of an irrational number). 22/7 is an approximation of pi to 2 decimal places.

 

Brown is a darker shade of Orange.

 

As Kit Kat stated, we have 3 different types of color cones. An animal called the Peacock Mantis Shrimp has 16. It can even see ultra- violet, or black light. (Those weird purple lights that make white things glow.)
And this...

Rubies are sapphires with a red color, and both are a variety of corundum.

Farting can reduce the chance of cancer.

Gadgets emit blue light at night, and the color blue makes us feel awake, which is the reason so many popular websites have blue.

Watch_Dogs takes place in the same universe as Assassin's creed.

An average human body has enough bones to create a full human skeleton.

 

Charles V born in a letrine because his mother thought she was having an indigestion.
Hannibal Barca lost his left eye in the North of Italy. That happened because of the wet weather of the North Italian swamps, which they infected his eye.

 

Horses only sleep lying down when they are totally at ease and comfortable with where they are. If they think something could go wrong, they will sleep standing up.
