Hey there, ya silly trivia fans! Are you ready for a wild ride through some of the wackiest and most random facts out there? Well buckle up, because I've got some good ones for you. For starters, did you know that Chelsea Handler once convinced a nun to smoke weed with her? That's right, even nuns can't resist the lure of the herb. And speaking of unlikely pairings, did you hear about Aubrey Plaza cussing out Joe Biden when she was just a high schooler? Apparently, she was already a badass even back then- not that Leslie Knope would think so. Also let's not forget the power of art, because Eddie Murphy is the proud owner of a painting that's worth millions of dollars…from a sitcom! It’s so famous that a replica sold for millions of dollars!
So whether you're a fan of political drama, religious enlightenment, or just good old-fashioned wealth accumulation, these fun facts have got you covered.
