Fun facts

-Bacterial Contamination is actually Japan's creative way of making an analogy to bullying. It's not about a plague, sorry DF.
 
it's illegal to pump your own gas in new jersey




no, really.
 
Italy from Hetalia and Ulquiorra Cifer (Bleach) are voiced by the same person in the original Japanese anime adaptions of both, and also voices Romano after Axis Powers (World Series and The Beautiful World, and also the movie).

The person in question is known as Daisuke Namikawa, and I'm assuming by his article, he's pretty well known in Japan.

Benjamin Franklin did not discover lightning. His experiment was intended to prove the electrical nature of lightning. Electricity was already well known by that point.
 
In certain parts of south korea they use ground up aborted fetuses in pills
 
hmm, no less weird IMO than using ground up seahorses or rhinoceros horns for medicine (both are going extinct because of it)

And here's another Tiny Toon Adventures-related fact I discovered while on Deviantart:

Though the show actually started in 1990, as a result of some sort of programming error, the entire series aired in the UK exactly one year prior, technically, the show ran from September 14, 1989-May 28, 1995 (I can't verify if this is true, though, if it is, then Tiny Toons officially joins such media as Ghostbusters II, Super Mario Land and Field of Dreams as part of the post-Berlin Wall 1980's culture phenomenon, plus, the original airdates with dates exactly a year prior to the actual premiere are used by my television provider, in Michigan!).

thats why the government stopped making them

its also illegal to melt down pennies for scrap and therefore get the full value, you have to hand them in to the government (I think its them trying to get some of their money back)
 
Fun fact: North Korea's literacy rate is 99%.
 
lol, not what I meant
I meant, aren't people in North Korea pretty well abused into poverty by the government?
with barely any health care or education systems
or is what I've been told about North Korea wrong?

You do know that North Korea is one of the most repressive countries in the world and that that statistic can't be verified because they don't allow non state affiliated journalists in North Korea

sorry if i offended someone with that post, i'll try to keep my mouth shut about things i don't know about in the future
