20 Facts Pulled From The Depths Of The Earth
I enjoy this list of interesting facts quite a bit more than the usual list of facts, because this one is more fun. And it's true, in my personal opinion, that fun facts are superior to mere facts. Fun facts make people feel smarter and wiser than they actually are, which is always nice. I mean, I'm not stupid or anything, but I do like feeling smart, so I'm not going to argue with a fun fact. I will however, attempt to entertain you with an anecdote about why I have so many fun facts to begin with, since I suspect you've come here looking for some. I grew up in a fairly large family, but my mother was an only child. I, however, have two brothers, as well as a sister who is about ten years younger than me. My parents enjoy this list of interesting facts, and my mom likes to share these particular ones with me and my siblings when she visits us in Florida. I think she likes them because they make her seem so clever and witty.
