The Fact of the Day Thread!! Post a fact that you find useful here :)

Wowzers... Too bad Coca-Cola doesn't still contain Cocaine. Except then the whole 3rd world would be coked out all day (not that south/central america isn't coked out all day anyways).

You'd be surprised how many actually do. When I was in Mexico, all they drink is Coke. If you ask for a Pepsi you get meanmugged and probably actually mugged.. Same for Belize and Honduras

I don't think so.

@Swerlz

Yeah I lived in Western Samoa for a year (out by tonga, french polynesia, etc in the south pacific) and it was so funny how they drank coke. It came in 40oz bottles, and out in the village areas it was largely a daily commodity, it was like as common as water (especially 'cause of their shitty water quality). But coke was the ONLY brand you could find outside of the city. The village markets basically sold coke cigarettes and beer. haha.

Si, claro! La palabra "amapola" en ingles es "poppy", no? Lo siento, mi español no es mejor, no he tomado una clase de español en dos años, SIN EMBARGO, estoy aprendiendo y hablarlo con mi novia :)
 
The average human emits approximately 95 watts of energy as heat in the form of infrared light. A standard 100 watt incandescent light bulb emits only about 5% of its energy as visible light, the rest is given off as heat in the form of infrared light. This means the average human produces the same amount of heat as a 100 watt light bulb.
 
In Germany we love using english expressions, we even create new ones. Like "talkmaster" for talkshow host. Our cell phones are called "handies", singular "handy". A Rucksack producer sells his products as body-bags. Ridiculous but fact.
 
In Soviet Russia we love using crack.

Sorry :D


Marijuana Factoids -

The first recorded use of marijuana as a medicinal drug occurred in 2737 B.C. by Chinese emperor Shen Nung. The emperor documented the drug’s effectiveness in treating the pains of rheumatism and gout. (source)

After Tupac's death, his hip-hop posse smoked some of his ashes with marijuana. (source)

Bob Dylan introduced The Beatles to marijuana in 1964. (source)
 
"Factoid" Fact:
The suffix "oid" generally means that the thing being described is like, but not in fact identical, with the thing being described by the noun- so a "spheroid" is something which is like a sphere, but is not a sphere, and an adroid is like a man but is not one. Any true proposition is a fact; therefore, the term "factoid" is only properly applied to statements that are false.
 
Facts are true, factoids are false.

Is the statement "this statement is a factoid" a fact or a factoid?
