I've used the term "wetter than an otter's pocket" before, thinking awww, imagine a cute little otter with its wee jacket on

Turns out they have literal pocket of fur underneath in their armpits where they stash stuff!

Colour me delighted

What other well known (apart from by me, it seems) facts are out there?

London/Essex... ish... Romford to be exact

It is impossible to lick your elbow.

A crocodile can't stick its tongue out.

A shrimp's heart is in its head.

In a study of 200,000 ostriches over a period of 80 years, no one reported a single case where an ostrich buried its head in the sand.

It is physically impossible for pigs to look up into the sky.

A pregnant goldfish is called a twit.

More than 50% of the people in the world have never made or received a telephone call.

Horses can't vomit.

The "sixth sick sheik's sixth sheep's sick" is said to be the toughest tongue twister in the English language.

If you sneeze too hard, you can fracture a rib. If you try to suppress a sneeze, you can rupture a blood vessel in your head or neck and die. If you keep your eyes open by force, they can pop out.

Rats multiply so quickly that in 18 months, two rats could have over a million descendants.

Wearing headphones for just an hour will increase the bacteria in your ear by 700 times.

If the government has no knowledge of aliens, then why does Title 14, Section 1211 of the Code of Federal Regulations, implemented on July 16, 1969, make it illegal for U.S. citizens to have any contact with extraterrestrials or their vehicles?

In every episode of Seinfeld there is a Superman somewhere.

A duck's quack doesn't echo, and no one knows why.

Most lipstick contains fish scales.

Like fingerprints, everyone's tongue print is different.

Over 75% of people who read this will try to lick their elbow.

"I've used the term "wetter than an otter's pocket" before, thinking awww, imagine a cute little otter with its wee jacket on

Turns out they have literal pocket of fur underneath in their armpits where they stash stuff!

Colour me delighted

What other well known (apart from by me, it seems) facts are out there?

This post is really sweet and fuzzy. Now I need to go give someone a hug.

Apparently, scienifically/mathematically, a bumble bee shouldn't be able to fly. Don't know how true this is but I like it anyway

I have also heard this! Excellent fact. "

I suspect it's more a case of scientifically a bumble bee can fly (cos I'm sure I've seen some of them do it ) but the sums of the "how" are too hard for us human beings poor little brains...

That was my first wait-what … there’s ducks near me … I’m totally doing it

I’m back. They wouldn’t quack - they just looked at me hissing. We were under a bridge - it was a fairly long tunnel like bridge but I couldn’t tell if it was echoing or not lol x"
