Facts: Strange but True
Just a few random facts to help you get through the day. Feel free to add your own.
Tomatoes and cucumbers are fruits.
Froot Loops have different colours, but they all have the same flavour.
“Billie Jean” was about a girl who climbed over Michael Jackson's wall one morning and accused him of being the father of one of her twins.
Humans actually have more than 5 senses. Things such as balance, temperature, internal senses for suffocation, thirst and fullness.
Mosquitoes have killed more humans than all the wars in history.
Drinking alcohol doesn't actually kill brain cells.
