Hey there, world wide web vagabonds! Did you know that cows who stand more are more likely to lie down? Science spent cold hard cash trying to figure that one out! To make it worth their while, if you ever see a cow just standing there, give it a tender, gentle nudge and tell it to relax. On the other hand, scammers don’t actually enjoy their money as much as honest people do. Maybe it’s because they know deep down that their cash was earned through lies and deceit (and probably very weird and sexual eyebrow waggling), or maybe it’s just karma catching up to them. And finally, the White Russian cocktail actually originated in Brussels, not Russia. So next time you order one at the bar, just tell everyone you’re drinking a "Belgian Russian" and watch their confused faces. Cheers to cows, scammers, and Belgian Russians – and if you want more fun facts continue scrolling, ya dope!
