20 Thought Provoking Facts That Purpled Our Nurples

It has been said that in the modern world, where information is so plentiful, knowledge is so cheap, and facts are so freely available on the internet, it's easy to lose touch with the meaning of knowledge. This is true for most people. It's even true for me, as someone who works in the field of science. It is easy to enjoy this list of interesting facts without ever considering their implications.  I also realize that not everyone is interested in facts. In fact, it's my opinion that facts are often more trouble than they're worth. I enjoy this list because it's fun to discover something that you didn't know before. However, the real world is complicated. Even the facts that you do know are likely to become outdated. I know that it's fun to learn new things, but it's also fun to be lazy, or to go along with what the majority believes.
