15 Bonkers Facts That Everyone Should Know

In case you're wondering why the hell this list exists, let me explain. I enjoy this list of interesting facts quite a lot, and I think it's very good for your brain. I hope you don't mind if I give you a bit of background first. I was born in the city of Wigan in England, which is just north of Liverpool. I have one older sister and two younger brothers, which means I'm the middle child in the family. My dad used to be a butcher and my mum worked for a women's clothing shop, but now she works part-time in the kitchen of a pub. I'm 19 years old, so I'll be going to university next year. I'm also a keen atheist. I believe that God is just a fairy tale and that we're all alone in the universe, floating in a void with no meaning. Uh… enjoy the list!!
