Fun fact - There are no words in the English language that rhyme with orange, silver, purple, and month.
Chilver.

I guess it pays to know how to Google things...
 
But when do you see people using those words in common speak. ;)
 
Well, chilver they use when they have a baby lamb.
 
Sure don't.
 
Fun fact: Australia is the only continent without an active volcano.
 
Fun fact - Australia is an awesome place with the worst judicial system in the developed world.
 
Fun fact: Australia has a legal breast size limit, any female under this limit is not allowed to produce pornography as it would be considered child pornography.

Or at least, that's what I heard somewhere. I kind of hope it's easy to prove untrue.
 
Fun fact: On average, a strawberry has 200 seeds in it.
 
Fun Fact: Kentucky is actually a Native American word that means "Dark and bloody ground", as it used to be a very fruitful land that many tribes had wars over. So by extention, KFC, in it's most literal sense, actualy means "Deep-Fried Poultry from a Dark and Bloody Ground".


...Though I might be milking it a little. :P
 
Fact: President Jackson is the first president to veto a law just because he didn't like it

Ahahahahahaha, oh wow!

Fun fact: Mussolini did, in fact, not make the trains run on time as he is often acredited to have. They were running on time again in 1921, a year before he became Italian Prime Minister.

Fun Fact: The guys at Capcom are big music buffs. Mega Man's Japanese name is Rockman, his "sister's" name is Roll, Proto's Japanese name is Blues, there's his dog, Rush, and his two enemies named Bass and Treble. Elec Man's stage theme references "Faithfully" by Journey. Neon Tiger's stage theme references "My Michelle" by Guns n' Roses.
That is so awesome.
I forgot to mention that the Mavericks in MMX5 are named after the members of G n' R, which is cool, but anything that reults in the name "Duff McWhalen" needs to be reconsidered. :P

I just know that is true...

After all, I've heard of crazier laws that are real.

I'm not really following that line of reasoning. Just because you've heard of even more facepalm-worthy laws, that automatically means that this one is real?

Fun fact: Georgia (the autonomous nation of the Caucasus) was once, but briefly, under the control of Germany.
