25 Recent Headlines That Made The World Weirder Than Ever

One of the reasons why I enjoy this list of interesting facts so much is that it is entirely subjective. You can do the same, of course, but you'd have to make your own list, and what's fun about that The other reason is that these are facts that I have learned in my lifetime, which I find very surprising, amusing, or fascinating. You may not find some of them surprising, but there is a good chance you will be amazed at just how many of these facts have been hidden from you. I have made sure to keep the number of facts as high as possible, because the more facts I put here, the higher the probability of making you laugh or shake your head in disbelief. There are some facts in this list that you will find incredible, but don't forget that everything you know right now was once considered completely impossible and unthinkable. Enjoy!
