25 Wacko News Stories From Our Sick, Sad World
It's not that unusual for people to enjoy this list of odd facts, but it's worth noting that it was inspired by a Tumblr blog. It is also worth noting that the majority of this list is made up of facts that are not particularly strange, which might make it less exciting for the more dedicated fan of strange facts. But that is why there is a section called “Extremely Strange and/or Improbable” at the end. It's because if you're going to be a fan of facts, then you're going to need to be prepared to accept a lot of the ones in between “very strange” and “extremely strange and/or improbable.” You're also going to need to be prepared to be disappointed, as there are very few facts on this list that are genuinely unknowable, and many of the ones that are “strange” are really only strange because they have been mangled into something strange by the people who enjoy this list of odd facts.
