Distaste

Al you redditer's should have already known this but once you decide to hate somone, everything they do bothers you. Whether it's just talking or physical actions, it bothers you to the point that you want to hit them. Trust me, I've hated a lot of people and know the feeling.

Views!

Fun Fact: After doing some simple math, I've found out that my Movie Reviews blog has the highest View:Post ratio being 33:1. I've also concluded that my Miscellaneous blog is the most popular with 714 page views and counting. That's about a 16:1 View:Post ratio.

Dreams Come In Triplets

Remember that dream you had last night? Maybe you do, maybe you don't. The point is, you had a dream. On average, when a human being falls into the third level of sleep, about an hour in, they start having dreams but they only last a few minutes even though the feel like hours. For every dream you can remember, there are two that you can't. Dreams come in triplets.

Disrespect

Some people can just be so rude. I was watching a documentary on Ellis Island earlier this week and an elderly women was tell her story of when she was a child. As soon as she and her family got to their apartment she said her mom says instantly "This is America? Why did you bring me here?". Well lady, I guarantee that it was better than the slum whole you were living in before. America didn't have to accept you in, you applied to enter the nation.

This was actually supposed to be a fact about Ellis Island but I got sidetracked, oh well, I'm keeping it.

Accents

Sorry being two days late.

Accents are differences in speech, usually from other regions. Everyone knows a British accent or an Australian accent, heck, even an American Accent. In their native regions they aren't accents at all but just  normal speech to the people there. Accents aren't permanent either. You can grow up in England and move to Indiana. With enough time away from the roots, you'll pick up an American accent and lose your British accent.

Summer

Summer get's to you and it makes you lose track of time and also keeps you from finishing your work. Like this Friday Fun Fact.

Using one post to make up for two is completely normal and acceptable. It is... Don't criticize me...

Best Friends

Did you know that best friends are the most likely to stab you in the back? It's true, they will, all the time. Whether it's with getting out of trouble, spreading rumors, or stealing friends. Back stabbing is a huge thing among friends and the closer they are the worse it feels.

Zilch

Again, no fun fact.

No fun fact this week.

Chemistry

Did you know the Atmosphere is only made up of five gasses?
Nitrogen, Oxygen, Hydrogen, Argon, and Carbon Dioxide!

Lucids

Lucid Dreams are dreams in which the sleeper is aware they are in a dream. It's actually pretty interesting. If you are aware of it you can change everything you want in it. I actually tried to become a lucid dreamer, and there are ways to train yourself to dream lucidly, but it didn't really work out for me.

Babies In A Basket

12 Newborns are given to the wrong parents daily. An Acquaintance and I were born a few days apart in the same hospital, only a few rooms apart from each other. The fact that he and I could have been switched might not have been high but it's still something alarming to think about.



-Thanks to Danny for his interesting fact.

Too Young

Believe it or not, an eight year old knows more curse words than I do. That is just dissapointing. When I was ten I thought I was so cool for knowing bad words, turns out my parents knew them when they were ten... Bad words don't just happen, they've probably been around longer than you think.

The Force, It's Strong

Jedi is an official religion, talk about Cinephillia! It has over 70,000 followers in Australia, that's pretty outstanding. Of course even though it's a cool thought, we will never have enough midichlorians in our blood to bend the life we see around us.

Technological phenomena

What do Apple, HP, Google, and Microsoft have in common? If you guess they're all computers, aside from being captain obvious, You're correct. BUT! The answer I was looking for is that they all started in a garage. Think about it, a massive company, formed in a garage, less than 200 square feet of space. Thats pretty amazing. If something like apple can start somewhere humble and small, who's to say that someone who starts in a bad neighborhood can't become successful. No one, everyone should try there best and strive for greatness.

Facebooking Fraud

So I recently found out that Facebook as a company will pay $500 at least if you can find a way to hack into their site, but really, $500 isn't worth the years of fun you could have messing with people's profiles.

My Apologies

Dear readers, I am sorry, but with my busy weekend schedule and school work conflicts I was unable to write a Friday fun fact this week. Please keep your eyes open for the coming weeks fun facts though, as I will try to be a little better at posting them on time.

Coining in the Past

Accused, Addiction, Assassination, Amazement, Bandit, Backing, Alligator, Anchovies, and Bedroom. All words used in Shakespeare's plays but what's special about them is that he actually coined those words. It's not known if he actually thought of those words himself but his plays were the first documented usage of them. William Shakespeare coined over 1,600 words, most of which we still use today. Rant or Rants, (also one of my popular blogs) was a word coined by William Shakespeare as well. There are many sites documenting every word he coined so feel free to go check them out if you want to

Anagram:
Q.) A Spadeworks Sheers
A.) Shakespeare's Words (Having the apostrophe was somewhat cheating though, Sorry)

Q.) Wot Sword
A.) Two Words

Haven't figured it out yet? How about this

Riddle:
Q.) What do a Shrew, a Dictator, A Dream, Twelve nights, and Two lovers have in common?
A.) All have been the subject of a Shakespearean Play.

Sloth

Sloth: One Seventh of the Deadly Sins... But also a lovable animal. Did you know it takes Sloths one week to digest their food? That means they only use the bathroom once a week! That beats my usual of twice a day. When I worked at the zoo, we had a sloth named Gage, I was told by the zoo keepers that his usual day of the week was late into Thursday, of course since I only worked Saturdays and Sundays I never actually had the chance to confirm this. Until one day, when I decided to visit the zoo off shift. It was a Thursday as chance had it, I met with my Senior Zoo Keeper and asked her if it was alright to show my parents around the animal house (Where we kept all of the animals in their simulated habitats.). She agreed and I went on in with my family. I noticed Gage was climbing down from his little plaster tree, using the cage to keep him steady, and I knew as soon as I saw him reach the floor that he had to "go". I didn't say anything to my family until we left, they didn't seem to care much, or they were disgusted by it.
