Collecting Random Facts!
My brain is constantly curious. In addition to researching serious subjects and helpful information, I really dig random facts of all kinds. I am certain there is a spot in brain dedicated to random (mostly irrelevant) knowledge.
A few fun random facts.
- If you are afraid of long words, you have Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia.
- Humans have less chromosomes than potatoes do.
- Due to an almost 2 foot long tongue, giraffes are able to clean their own ears.
- In the 1996 edition of Websters dictionary, there were 315 misspelled entries.
- Squirrels can live to be up to nine years old.
- If you put a grape in a microwave it will explode.
- Whale poop floats.

I picked a random theme can you spot it? Thanks (oath-indie)
Fireflies aren't flies they are beetles.
The Beatles chose their name because they loved Buddy Holly and his group was called The Crickets.
The idea for the VW Beetle originated from Adolph Hitler.
In France the VW Beetle is called Coccinelle which means ladybug.

A plane needs 350 kilometers per hour to take off, and the neurons in the human brain communicate at more than 400 kilometers per hour, really surprising.

The brain releases "sparks": The human brain produces electricity all the time. When you wake up, your brain produces enough electricity to light a small lamp. The brain is made up of billions of brain cells called neurons, which it uses to communicate with each other. The combination of millions of neurons sending signals at once produces a huge amount of electrical activity in the brain, which can be detected by the electroencephalogram (EEG), which measures the levels of electricity in the scalp area.

After slavery was abolished in the US. One of the greatest desires among the newly freed slaves, was to obtain and eduction. They believed that if they could obtain an education, they would get wealthy. The black schools were filled with people of all ages. There were night schools that people would attend after having worked ten hour days. The desire to learn was so huge that if could read even in the slightest, you could be appointed to teach. There were hundreds of older black people who's dreams were to be learn to read the bible before they died. Learned that from the book up from slavery. Booker T. Washington. :) dreaming-irwin

Caffeine doesn't give you an energy boost. Instead, it hides your tiredness. Your body produces a hormone that makes you sleepy. The caffeine molecule mimics this hormone in shape/design, and it blocks the receptors in your neurons from absorbing the hormone so you feel less tired.
