15 Now-You-Know Facts That Pump Up The Volume
An ancient poet once sat by the sea-shore; and, seeing a great ship sailing by, he asked himself if there are not, after all, some such things as ships, whether the sea is always the same size, whether there is not some such thing as a captain in command of ships, or if there are such things as sailors, whether they have not a certain kind of liveliness that is often absent from men in other professions, and so on.
As he pondered these questions in depth, retreating ever more from what his eyes told him, he grew ever more certain of his own system of determining truth. He eventually wrote it down in a language he had devised himself and, by sheer coincidence, it read exactly the same as an odd list of fifteen facts would read in English. As it was written in a language no-one else ever spoke, no scholar has been able to translate it, but we nevertheless present it here for your perusal:
