15 Now-You-Know Facts That Slap

“Scream” caused a surge in Caller ID purchases.

I have always had two great friends. We've been together since high school, but then I went to college and they got married—and it was like that was it for us. We were no longer friends. It hurt so badly at the time, but you can't be friends with people who aren't even close to you anymore... right? So we just stopped talking.

The problem is they still talk to each other all the time. They text every day; they talk on the phone. I'm sure that when we do finally meet up, it will be awkward and uncomfortable. And yet I know I have to see them.

And you want to know why they stopped talking to me? Because, one time, one of them shared a list of fifteen facts he'd found online in the group chat for the three of us, and they laughed and talked about it all day, but I was busy that day and didn't say anything. And then ... they decided they don't need me anymore, I guess, and they kind of just dropped me.

Anyway, here's that list:
