I have complied a list of random facts from wherever I could find them, and I've decided to place a bunch of them in a blog post. So, here we go!
Disclaimer Not all facts can be guaranteed.
Odontophobia is the fear of teeth.
A polar bear's skin is black, to absorb the sun.
The Egyptians used croc dung as a contraceptive
in 2000 BCE.
The Neanderthal's brain was bigger than the homosapien's brain is (and had a higher capacity as well!).
Henry Ford produced the model T only in black because the black paint available at the time was the fastest to dry.
Only one mammal can't jump - the Elephant.
One million goldfish bowls full of water = one stadium full of water.
There are 178 (on average) sesame seeds on each McDonalds burger bun.
Cockroaches can live without a head (some people say 4 days, some 9, and even as much as 28, if you have information let me know).
If you drove at 100 m/ph, it would take 29 million years to reach the nearest star.
Hey, cigarette supporters, check this one out: The first recorded time of a man quiting smoking was on April 5, 1679, when Johan Katsu, Sheriff of Turku, Finland, wrote this in his diary: "I quit smoking tobacco." He was dead about a month later.
The "cat" is not mentioned in the bible.
How many animals have 4 knees? 1. The humble elephant.
A duck's quack doesn't echo. No one knows why.
The female name, "Wendy", first appeared in 'Peter Pan'.
I bet you can't make a complete sentence with only four letters. I can.
In Scotland, a new game was invented. It was called Gentlemen Only Ladies Forbidden.... and the word GOLF entered into the English language.
Honey made by bees doesn't spoil.
The voice actor for 'Bugs Bunny' was allergic to carrots.
The Roman Catholic Church did not acknowledge that the earth revolves around the sun until the mid 1990’s.
The average American eats 60 hot dogs a year, or about one every 6 days.
If you think the police ask a lot of questions, think about this: Children aged 4 are known to ask 400-500 questions per day, or about 36/hour, or one every 90 seconds (if they are awake for 12 hours a day).
Every year, the moon moves another .5 an inch further from the earth. In the average person's lifetime, this is about 30-40 inches.
And, finally, 63% of all statistics have one thing in common. They are made up.

17 Useless animal facts
Here’s a list of random facts about animals (no guarantee to accuracy):
14 hours a day is how long a gorilla can sleep.
Most close relatives to humans (chimps, gorillas, etc) can take human birth control pills and have 95% success with them (vs. 99%+ on humans).
North American pearls from oysters are worth nothing.
Squirrels live about 9 years.
A flink is a group of 12 cows.
Armadillo’s can be trained to use a litter box, just like cats.
If humans had an average blood preserve of 100, giraffes would have 250.
Some species of dinosaur were the size of chickens.
Birds never sleep in their nests.
If a snake is chasing you (unlikely, but ok), jump in water. It can’t bite you as it would drown.
Oyster’s can change gender several times during their life.
There are 20 million camels in the world.
Chickens outnumber humans by at least 2 billion.
The state of Vermont has 10 cows per person.
Elephants can’t jump. All other mammals can, even dolphins.
Most snakes can go for a year without eating anything.
Rabbits can’t walk (only hop).
Thanks for reading!
