13 Engrossing Facts To Make Us Command Attention In Any Room

Sometimes, dropping the right bit of trivia in a conversation can suddenly make everyone's attention snap to you. And we've gathered 13 facts you can do just that with.

13

A big cause for rejecting soldiers in WWII was poor dental health. That was the case in the US, anyway -- almost 10% of possible US armed services recruits in 1941 were turned down for not having six opposing teeth in both their upper and lower jaws. CRACKED.COM — Source

For a while, you could rent an entire country on Airbnb for $70,000 a night. They offered that in 2011 - you could rent all of Liechtenstein (population: 35,000, area: 61.7 square miles), but it was a two-night minimum. CRACKED.COM — Source

If you really want to, you can live on a cruise ship year-round. Apparently, it would cost you $155,000 a year - - at the cheapest tier, anyway. The most expensive option would set you back $1.4 million a year. CRACKED.COM — Source

Turtles can breathe through their butts, and that saves their lives. When they hibernate in a frozen pond in winter, they take in air through their butts -- their butts are highly covered by blood vessels, and they absorb the air directly into those vessels, bypassing their lungs.

One guy played the Oompa-Loompas in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. There were 165 in the movie, but Deep Roy played them all (and CGI and movie trickery made that possible, of course). CRACKED.COM — Source

8

You can thank the movie Gremlins for the introduction of the PG-13 rating. Well, it was Gremlins and Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom -- in Gremlins' case, scenes like a Gremlin getting chopped up with a kitchen knife, or being in a microwave or a blender, led to the rating.

Dolphins can never fall asleep fully -- they keep one eye open. They control their breathing consciously at all times, so they can never be 100% unconscious, which means they can't be fully asleep either. CRACKED.COM — Source

6

A lot of our fresh water is actually stored in glaciers and ice caps. Glaciers contain 69% of all the freshwater if the world, and if all the ice on land suddenly melted, sea levels would rise by some 230 feet. CRACKED.COM — Source

5

Whenever he wanted to think, Frederick Douglass would go to his growlery. It was a simple cabin with one room, and he'd go there to think, reflect, and уер, to growl. CRACKED.COM — Source

4

The human body pretty much replaces itself over the course of one year. Or, put in different words, the total weight of the cells you lose over one year is roughly the same as your body weight. CRACKED.COM — Source

3

MLK was very, very widely disliked in the year that he died. His disapproval late in that year was an incredible 75%, as per a 1968 Harris Poll. CRACKED.COM — Source

2

Apparently, getting turned down by a female can drive a fruit fly to drink. Male fruit flies that get rejected by females drink a lot more than those that don't get rejected. CRACKED.COM — Source

Harnessing just a fraction of the sunlight we get would give us a lot of energy. The sunlight we get during just 1.5 hours would be enough to power everything on Earth for a year. CRACKED.COM — Source
