“Fight Against Stupidity And Bureaucracy”

We’ll get to one of the biggest liars America has produced later.
But ahead of that have a look at another selection of fasab facts.
And…
Enjoy.

There is a lake in Australia called Lake Hillier
that is a bright shade of pink.
Unlike with other similar lakes,
scientists are still not completely sure why.

Bill Nye the Science Guy
originally wanted to be an astronaut,
but NASA kept rejecting him.

In 476 AD the Western Roman Empire fell
and the Eastern Empire survived

Charlie Chaplin once lost a
Charlie Chaplin look-alike contest

Although there have been emails floating about
for years containing many false facts about
Abraham Lincoln and John F. Kennedy,
there were a few that are true and interesting.
Lincoln was elected to congress in 1846,
Kennedy in 1946.
Lincoln became president in 1860,
Kennedy in 1960 (though sworn in 1961).
And both were eventually shot in the head on a Friday.

Inca mail was delivered along their network of roads
by way of messengers who would hand mail off
to each other using a sort of relay system.
A bit like the Pony Express without the ponies!

Named by a Japanese scientist after
a 3rd-century Japanese shaman queen, Himiko,

mass of 40 billion Suns.

In the early 20th century, scientists thought
our nerves transmitted information electrically.
After a dream, Dr. Otto Loewi awoke during the night
and scribbled some thoughts on a paper.
Upon waking in the morning,
he realized he had written about information
being transmitted chemically,
later proven to be true and
winning him the Nobel Prize in 1936.

Justinian was the last emperor
to use the title ‘Caesar’.

A liar tends not to use contractions.
For example, “I didn’t do it”
statistically tends to be a more truthful
statement that “I did not do it”.
Remember Bill Clinton,
he didn’t say, “I didn’t do it”,
he said,
“I did not have sexual relations with that woman.”
He lied.
