15 Facts That Really Tamed Our Impalas

Lady Gaga’s meat dress was preserved by taxidermists.

A couple of weeks ago, I was in a bookstore. I enjoy lists of interesting facts, so I decided to get a notebook. I didn't find anything that caught my eye at the time. So I went to the fiction section. I was looking through the books on display when I spotted something that caught my attention. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. There were two books sitting side by side on a shelf. One was titled Stupendous Facts To Entertain Our Brains, and the other was titled Stupendous Facts to Entertain Our Brains. I stood there staring at them for a few moments before it finally hit me: I could actually write down all these stupid little things to amuse my brain in my own journal. I bought both books and took them to a nearby coffee shop, and started writing down facts in the notebook I had picked up earlier.
