15 Bizarre Facts That Are A Delight To Behold
There are some things that I enjoy this list of odd facts for. One is that it makes me laugh, and laughing is good for you. Another is that it's always fun to look back on a list you made years ago and think about how many people have had to go back through it in order to figure out what the tarnation you were talking about. It's also funny that it's taken this long for me to finally publish it. I'm pretty sure the last time I wrote something about this, it was a series of e-mails to my friends, but I can't even remember if I sent it or not. Probably not, since it would have been so long ago. But it's fun to think about anyways. Finally, I just want to say that I really hope I'm not being too presumptuous by calling this a list of “odd facts.” If I am, then I hope you'll accept my sincere apologies. But I think it's fair to say that most people would consider some of the following items to be pretty odd.
