14 Questions We Didn't Know We Wanted To Know The Answers To

We previously asked ourselves 13 Questions We Never Knew We Needed the Answers To, and now we’re back with even more unnecessary questions that have become a vital part of our brain’s data storage. Like… How long did the oldest cow live? Can animals talk via farts? How many balloons would it take to lift an adult person into the air? These might not be the questions that keep us up at night, but they are questions that once we’ve asked ourselves, we simply have to know the answers to. Luckily, we have a world of information at our fingertips so we can look up the answer and don’t need to argue with friends about it for years. Maybe these answers will help satiate your curious mind, or, more likely, it’ll be a weird fact to spew out during an awkward silence. It’s your knowledge now, so do with it what you will.
