15 Random Facts to Put Brain Cells into Full Throttle

Did you know that the sum of all the letters in “random” is 47? That’s pretty random! And speaking of random, did you know that the chances of being struck by lightning are about 1 in 12,000? Pretty random, right? But what exactly is a random fact?
Random facts are, quite simply, facts that are random. They can be about anything, from history to science to pop culture. And they can be either amazing or totally mundane. For example, did you know that tennis orbs are not actually made of rubber? They’re actually made of felt! Or that the state of Texas is bigger than the whole country of France? Crazy, right?
So why do we love random facts so much? Maybe it’s because they help us to see the world in a different light. Or maybe it’s because they’re just plain fun to learn. Either way, there’s no denying that random facts are a great way to add a little spice to your life!
