Post 153 ~ Tell me something I don't know.

You might not know that the first ever condom was made from animal intestines, over 400 years ago.

With 40 digits of pi, you can calculate the circumference of the observable universe accurate to less than the width of a single hydrogen atom.

Mathematicians have calculated pi accurate to over 13 trillion digits.

People believe the world is flat and that there is a magical dome over the world, All the worlds super powers came to an agreement to keep people from seeing the dome in the south pole (yet we still have all the world problems). Oh and man has never been to space because space isn't real.

First off that's disgusting.

Second, HOW do you know this?! O.o

Third, .... I got nothing.

Mathmatics is the center of all life. If you graph it patterns emerge therefore there are patterns everywhere in life.

That fact is... weird, but interesting.
And, did you know that there was a guy who was stuck 4 different times by lightning; the Unlucky Major Summerford?
The first time was when he was fighting in WW1 at Flander's Field in 1918, when he was knocked off of his horse and paralyzed from the waist down.
The second time was six years later when he moved to Vancouver and lightning strike directly beside him while he was fishing, and his entire right side was paralyzed.
2 years later he was fully recovered until he was struck again four years later; he was permenantly paralyzed.
The last time was four years after he died when lightning struck his tombstone and destroyed it.

The water in oceans is slowly turning acidic.

How sad/disturbing is it that I knew this? The perks of being a history nerd

But did you know that during a speech on the Senate floor, Julius Caesar was given a private message by a page, and after his opponent Cato demanded it be read aloud, it turned out that it was a love letter from Cato's half-sister?

Or that the emperor Caligula once declared war on Neptune, Roman god of the sea, and ordered his troops to stab the water and gather sea shells as war booty? He also named his horse consul.

People later refined the condom by removing the intestines from the animal before use.

The reason pimps (or presumably old-ass rappers) are known for being all covered in bling is that their money is confiscated from drug dealers or pimps upon arrest, due to obviously being made illegally. But jewellery isn't, and can be pawned to make bail.
