13 Odd Yet Fascinating Now-You-Know Facts

The world can be a fascinating place. It seems like during our day-to-day lives we can learn something new if we know where to look. We can learn some new factoid or truth about our history, about science, and just plain life in general if we stop and take a breath. Or if you just go to the right Cracked article.
But it’s not enough to learn something new every day. It’s best to learn something new and odd. That way you’ll get invited to parties, business conferences, and orgies to help break the ice and end the terrible, horrible, soul-swallowing silence within any awkward group interaction.
Like, did you know why tigers are better at camouflage than you think, in spite of their orange color? Or how criminally underpaid the Power Rangers were? Or that, yes, water can somehow be extra wet?
