A Collection of Odd Facts

As was mentioned in my personal blog- Pieces of Aweng, this blog was borne out of my never-ceasing interest in everything out of the ordinary. (See post here...) The reason why I decided to search, read on and share a bizarrely delightful collection of odd facts. And here goes...

  • Ever wonder why you and your pops often end up talking about those painful ingrowns? Fact is, toenail ingrowns can be inherited. :)

  • If you stripped a tiger bald from all its fur, what do you get? A bald tiger with striped skin. :) The stripes are not only imprinted on its fur... it's skin deep.

  • Like people and their fingerprints, no two lions have the same whisker patterns.

  • Just read this and I never knew... Robert Zimmerman is the real name of the Legend- Bob Marley.

  • In Paraguay, people can engage in a 'legal' duel- for as long as they are registered blood donors.

  • Where in the world would the Speaker of the House not be allowed to speak? Answer: England.
  • Did you know that Japanese have square watermelons? Not a fad. I even checked for photos.. :)) They found this method of growing watermelons to square for easier stacking.

  • In Cleveland Ohio, to capture a mouse a hunting license is legally required.
