The Interesting Facts Thread

[Kevin]

What's up guys?

This thread is supposed to be a place where you share quick interesting facts that you learn online or in real life.
Much like the "Ban the person above you" thread, you are supposed to wait for someone else to post if you wish to post another fact.

A few rules:

• Only one fact per post.
• Only post facts that you really find interesting, don't just go to some fact generator and copy what you got there (unless it is in fact something that you had no idea about and would like to share).
• It is ok to reply to someone's post saying what you think about that (or maybe making some kind of joke) as long as you don't forget to post another fact :)

Let the knowledge sharing begin!
I'll go first:
