Life's little pleasures...

My current simple pleasure is opening a bottle of snapple, and getting a fact you havent seen before. i always smirk and nod, thinking "Good to know..." Today's was that dragonflies cannot walk despite having 6 legs. they just use that shit to land. huh.... Do any of you have some interesting little factoids that can make us all just a little bit more pretentious at parties?

    That dragonfly factoid just blew my brains... that's got to be some evolutionary mistake haha Poor things, they must be pretty jealous when they see every other insect just strutting their stuff around.

    Haha I'll get lost on Wikipedia for hours and remember 1-2 things from each page. People usually walk away when I bring them up at parties haha.

    i remember that earthworms don't have eyes, but they do have light-sensitive cells scattered in their outer skin.

    they have a sense we don't have in a sense. kinda cool. also raspberry snapple FTW!!

    hahah i dont think you understand how much this relates to me. My roommate annoys the hell out of me because he reads me those facts every time he opens one. Some of them are pretty interesting though.

    That's interesting! Did you know that chameleons move their eyes in that way because they can't move their necks? Hope this helps lol.

    One of my favorites was that flamingos are pink because they eat shrimp....I have no idea how that relates but snapple told so I believe it to be true

    If you keep a constant white lined background in motion in front of black strings you can witness the string move in waves.

    You can be pretentious at parties without saying a word, just make sure you don't talk to anybody and maintain the 'I'm better than you' stance.

    Blue eyes aren't actually blue pigment, its the dispersing of the light onto them. Fact.

    Gravity is still just a theory. We could be completely wrong!

    There are equations in quantum physics that show that the universe could just decide to stop existing. It will never, ever, ever happen, but the potential is there.

    Good post man
