20 Simply Unbelievable Facts That Are 100% True

I enjoy this list of interesting facts because it is a fun way for me to share my knowledge of things I am interested in. But I also like sharing my knowledge with other people because I like teaching. It makes me happy when people know more about what I like than they did before I taught them.I will try not to bore you with details that are not important to the point I am trying to make, or which detract from my message. This will be difficult, as I have an overactive imagination. But I will try.If I can do this, I will save you from the pain I go through whenever I hear people say “I don't know.”If I can't do it, and you learn something new, it will be worth the pain.If you ever see a list like this, and think it is well-written or useful, please share it with others. The more people know about what I know, the better it is for all of us.
