20 Irresistible Facts That Really Uncorked Our Shiraz

Bill O’Reilly wrote a novel about a predatory newsman that kills his colleagues.

I enjoy this list of interesting facts. It's a great way to pass the time. I think I can remember everything on here without even having to look. I've had a lot of time to kill in the last year, so I've been thinking about various ways to waste it. I figured I could make a list of all of the things I've noticed and done while killing time, but then I thought I could make a list of all of the strange facts I'd ever heard of and just put them in one place, since I know a lot of stuff. So that's what I did. This is a really long list of interesting facts. It's not really organized. Some of the facts are more interesting than others, but most of them aren't especially noteworthy. It was a lot more work than I thought it would be. But it's pretty fun.
