synkyd Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 Do you ever have one of those annoying interesting facts that you know, but you can never tell anyone because it never needs to be shared?Then this the thread to share them. We'll take it on faith the tidbits people bring forward. for example, you have 40 people in the world who have your face. How? The elvis impersonator theory. Out of the 4000 or so professional elvis impersonators, only 1% look like him. So, 40 people in the world have your face! Perhaps the changlings are to blame....

Davroth Posted April 25, 2012 Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 We only really see sharply in he very center of our field of vision. Our eyes are not able to see color or sharpness in peripheral vision. However, our brain graciously fills in the blanks, coloring the surroundings from memory, and not always correctly.

Sparkleheart Posted April 25, 2012 Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 There is a species of jellyfish that, when it reaches a certain age, reverts into polyp form and starts its life cycle all over again. It can never die of old age.Computers can't technically render anything in 3D. What they do is draw flat 2D polygons that are warped according to calculations of what they *would* look like in a 3D space.Last I checked, birds were classified as a subtype of dinosaurs.Speaking of which, some living bird species still have fingers at the end of their wings.Psycho and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre are both inspired by a true story. Specifically, the *same* true story.Biologists have managed to selectively breed sheep to have a higher or lower chance of turning out gay.In the early 20th century, it was mathematically proven that nothing could travel faster than the speed of sound.We may actually have working warp drives within the next two decades.

Angie Cakes Posted April 25, 2012 Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 What's the expanse of time?until something happens that causes you to grow distant from one of your ten or less people. "you can only be super close with roughly ten people at a time" is probably a better way of wording it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solaria Posted April 25, 2012 Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 You know, I know a lot of these but can't seem to call upon them on demand. I'll edit when I remember any. I just need to talk to somepony and have one of them invade my thoughts.Oh oh oh! I know one, but it's rather disturbing. Many major food corporations, in synthesizing vanilla and raspberry flavorings, use a certain liquid produced by beavers rather than actual vanilla or raspberries.
