Random Fact Generator, Just put up some random ones you know. Options

[Petra Arkanian]

I don't know about most people, but I like looking at random facts. If you do to, or if you just know some, then post them here!

NOTE: Please do not use abbreviations or slang (ex. waznt, 2, blvd). Also, try not to repeat things. If you don't see a random fact on the current page, then you can post it. Otherwise, please don't. One last thing. Please number your facts in accordance to others, so if Fred has three facts, and Jane, who posted before him has two, Freds' last fact would be numbered 5.

Please do not post more than 15 facts at a time.

No profanity, please.

Copy-and-pasting is fine.

65. It is believed that Shakespeare was 46 around the time that the King James Version of the Bible was written. In Psalms 46, the 46th word from the first word is shake and the 46th word from the last word is spear.

66. This confirms that Shakespeare is in fact god.

67. When you die your hair still grows for a couple of months.

68. The king of hearts is the only king without a moustache.

80. C-4 is a very stable product, well known for its durability and reliability. It will not explode even if hit by a bullet, punched, cut, or thrown into a fire (in Vietnam, soldiers actually burned C-4 as an improvised cooking fire). The only reliable method for detonation is via a detonator or blasting cap. So if you see C-4 exploding by a stray bullet in a movie, sue the makers of the film for deceiving the watchers.
