15 Now-You-Facts That Really Spliced Our Genes
I enjoy this list of interesting facts, not because they're necessarily “fun facts” (which I often find to be the case, in that they're often stupid or trivial), but because they are all things that I have discovered by accident. They're a mix of things I found in books, and things I found out in other ways. The majority of them are also things that I find surprising or surprising that people would not know. The only thing I'm not sure about is whether it should be a list of interesting facts that are interesting to me, or whether it should be a list of interesting facts that are interesting to the general reader. If you enjoy this list of interesting facts, then I hope it is the latter, and I'd appreciate feedback from people who enjoy the former. I'm not sure which way to go on this. If you like the idea of a list of interesting facts, then maybe it is the latter, but I hope that people will enjoy reading it regardless of what they are interested in.
