20 Unobtrusive Trivia Tidbits That Can Fit In Our Pocket
As far as I can tell, there are two reasons why people enjoy this list of interesting facts. The first reason is that they have heard the stories behind most of the facts on the list, but they enjoy learning those stories. Like many things, people enjoy learning things. And many things are fun to learn. That's why I like fun facts so much. People are fun to learn about, and facts are fun to learn, and you should try learning both at the same time. The second reason is that they can read about other people's mistakes without making those same mistakes themselves. If you've ever been embarrassed by something you've written in your journal, you might know what I mean. You can laugh at people's mistakes without making the same mistake yourself. This list of strange and wonderful facts is enjoyable to read because it combines the two reasons.
