Only 3 of the four smokestacks on the titanic worked. The last one was just for show.

The declaration of independence was never signed on July 4th. It was signed over several months around the country. So the famous painting of everyone signing the declaration is FALSE

I will never look at that picture the same way again.

Hmmmm, a random fact. How about:

"If it doesn't have a tail it's not a monkey. Even if it has the monkey kind of shape. If it doesn't have a tail it's not a monkey. If it doesn't have a tail it's not a monkey it's a ape!"

Or:

I'll have to correct you there. A platypus is a monotreme, meaning they are mammals who lay eggs. So, it's correct they are mammals and they lay eggs. However, there is also one other type of monotreme: the echidna.
This means that the platypus AND the echidna are the only mammals who lay eggs.

Sorry...

Jet is one of Kirby's copy abilities. It appears in Kirby Super Star (and its remake, Kirby Super Star Ultra). It also appears in the anime. With this ability, Kirby wears a hat with jet-plane wings, with a big jet rocket attached on the back, and gets some shades on the front that drop down to protect his eyes.

I won't be on this forum much anymore, but I'll pop in to say hi every now and then.

Some funny laws here. These are real, I got them from a factual book and not a website.

Members of parliment are not allowed to wear suits of armour in the house of commons.
A law in West Virginia, USA, says that "no lions shall be allowed to run wild on the streets".
In Wyoming it is illegal to photograph rabbits in the months of Janary through to April without an official permit.
Anyone detonating a nuclear weapon within the city limits of Chico, California is liable to a $500 fine.
No one may eat a rattlesnake in public in Kansas, USA, but only on Sundays.
In Spades, Indiana, USA it is illegal to open a can with a revolver.

Hope you liked them.  :)

If you like those, here's few laws from where I live...

In the state of Montana, if you are being chased by 5 or more indians on, you can shoot to kill without fear of murder

Some random facts:

The "sixth sick sheik's sixth sheep's sick" is said to be the toughest tongue twister in the English language.

Statistically, you are more likely to be killed by a cow attack than a shark attack.

It's impossible to sneeze with your eyes open.
