Did you know that wild llamas are known as guanacos?

Did you know that guanine, one of the nucleobases of DNA and RNA is abundant in guano?

Did you know that a smooth flow of a fluid is known as a laminar flow?


I'll think of facts that I don't tell people all the time later or something.

Bonobos [Chimps, Pygmy] and Dolphins are, like humans, can have sex for pleasure rather than procreation.

Also, the female in the Bonobos calls the shot when it comes to sex, even though the male are stronger. Yeah, I'm pretty much in THAT perverted mood that I decide to read facts.

Some wasps lay their eggs in catpillars.
The larvae develop teeth to get out the caterpillars skin when they are too big for the host.
they go and cocoon themselves, the caterpillars still alive though.
then suddenly the Caterpillar is like 'i will protect these wasps' and is messed up
then it makes a protective layer over them too. The Caterpillar turns very aggressive and tries to protect the wasps until it dies of starvation.

No. He won it in popular vote, but NOT the electoral vote. The electoral vote is needed to win the presidency.

Well did she make you cry? Make you break down?

And is it over now? Do you know how

Sharks will only attack you if you're wet. 
 
For somebody who drowns themselves constantly in useless pieces of knowledge, I'm really not very good at thinking up random facts. Hence why I steal them from comedians. 
 
Newton was a keen alchemist. King Herod [that of Biblical fame]'s wife's name was Doris. Camels evolved in America. At one point a cure for syphilis was to give the patient malaria- the high fever would kill the bacteria. Donkey milk cannot be made into cheese. Probably.

That election was blatantly rigged.

The Norwegians invented the Christmas tree
Lincoln is the only US president on Mt Rushmore who was assassinated.
Microsoft programmed the first Apple OS.
Samuel Goldwyn's real name was Samuel Goldfish
Even though the village of Caldmore that makes up part of Walsall is spelled as it is, the locals pronounce it 'Karma'
