You probably wouldn't believe any of these facts if they weren't presented to you in such a professional, trustworthy manner. If some sixth grader came up to you and said any of these facts, you would probably tell them to shut up.

But because we're a larger knowledge database than Wikipedia, basically everything we post is true. Like these WTF facts, which are, by the way, true.

Maybe you'll learn something new or maybe you'll revisit something you already knew. Either way, these factoids are more stimulating than a bunch of memes.

Not that there's anything wrong with memes. It's just, sometimes your brain wants a little break from all the memes.
