The Emperor Nero almost certainly did not fiddle while Rome burned, but he was - according to the people who had to praise him or perish, at least - an accomplished bagpiper.

If you look at a neutron star from a distance, you can see more than 60% of its surface from any particular vantage point.

The Portuguese Princess Catherine of Braganza got married to King Charles II. It was she who brought to the court the habit of drinking tea, and from there it spread towards having a ubiquitous presence in the English culture.

Each word in this sequence ends with the letter sequence 'ough' and is spelled the same as the previous word but with one letter added. None of them rhyme.

Tough(tuff)
Though(thoh)
Through(threw)
Thorough(thureh)

'Ough' is the most versatile series of letters in the English language, being pronounced in at least ten different ways in different words.

The human brain comprises about 2% of one's body mass, but accounts for approximately 20% of one's basal metabolic rate, the calories one would expend in a day by lying around and doing nothing.

Power-wise, the average adult brain runs on about 12 watts; this is ridiculously efficient considering that IBM's Watson, a computer that has beaten Jeopardy champions, runs on 90,000 watts.

"Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo" is a valid and gramattically correct sentence.

Note that there's three different types of "buffalo" in there, the animal, the city, and an obscure verb meaning to bully/intimidate.

This ten-by-ten word square is the largest matrix of characters in which every row and column forms an pre-existing word.

The oldest known square of this type is the Sator Square, which is in Latin and dates back to Pompeii.

SATOR
AREPO
TENET
OPERA
ROTAS

It was believed to have been used by early Christians as a sign of recognition, because of how the letters can be rearranged.

A female opossum has 13 nipples.

In Denmark, you are required to check for sleeping children underneath your car before starting your engine.

It's easy to cheat this thing by checking Twitter accounts.

I'm not LGBT. I just think Rain's really cool. Apologies if my humor gets too painful.

The Golden Rhombus is the shape obtained by connecting the midpoints of the sides of the Golden Rectangle. There is exactly one (non-trivial) polyhedron which has sides of this shape.

Just as our planets orbit the sun, our sun- and all the other stars in the Milky Way Galaxy -orbit a supermassive black hole at the center called Sagittarius A*. It is theorized that every galaxy has a supermassive black hole as its center.

Incidentally, if Sagittarius A* were to replace our sun, its event horizon would reach all the way out to around Neptune's orbit.

This is a true fact: Someplace in Hong Kong, this pilot who worked on a aeroplane, he brang his 16-year old daugther and his stupidly retarded 14-year old son. His son said, "MAY I TOUCH THIS!" and straight away, he touched everything on the cockpit. Thanks to his stupidity, everyone died on that plane. Every dead person lives in heaven, the boy lives in hell. The END. It's a true fact, only modified!

The longest tapeworm ever removed from a human was 37 feet of worm removed out the victim's mouth like reverse-spaghetthi-slurping.

Tapeworms living in whales can reach lengths of 120 feet.

The Luftwaffe interrogator Hanns Scharff, known for his non-threatening methods and high success rate, once pinned a framed picture of the American fighter ace Gabby Gabreski on the wall of his office. When Gabreski was captured,*

Hanns was picked for the job, but failed to get as much information out of the tight-lipped ace as he usually did with other prisoners. They did, however, became good friends after the end of the war.

Durians smell so bad they're banned from hotels or public transportation in some areas.

Durians smell so bad because it's an evolutionary advantage meant to draw in larger animals (Who aren't as repelled by the stench as most smaller ones) who are large enough to swallow and pass the durian fruit's abnormally large seeds. The thick spiky husk is also meant to make it a "big animals only" fruit.

Since I love facts about fruit, here's another. Jackfruit are the largest tree fruit in the world. They can reach very impressive sizes, up to 80 pounds in weight and 3 feet in length. Here's a picture.

The only member of the band ZZ Top who doesn't have a beard, has the last name Beard.

Michigan's state animal is the wolverine yet there are no wolverines in Michigan.

When astronauts first shaved in space, their weightless whiskers floated up to the ceiling. A special razor had to be developed which drew the whiskers in like a vacuum cleaner.

Every three seconds, an area of the South American rain forest the size of a football field is cut down.
