40 Random Facts We Found Hiding in the Cushions of the Fact Couch

We told you, you can't keep coming around here looking for more random fun facts. What happened to the last large batch we gave you? You learned them already? Sorry, we have to put our foot down on this one — if you’re really desperate for facts, you can head over to the dusty old fact couch and shake out what’s been lost in the cushions for yourself. 

We remember accidentally dropping all kinds of good stuff in there, tidbits like authors who hated their most famous work, a human-made structure that changes height depending on the season, the most unexpected thing that can actually stop a bullet and how the world felt about superheroes when they first appeared on comic book stands for the first time in the 1940s. 

If you blow through these too quickly, you'll have to go clean out the Fact Car — there might be a few things in there, too.
