My white ancestors surname Briscoe was on the Ark and Dove ships.
It's crazy because I remember that I was in high school when the 3DS dropped and I was grounded at the time. I was able to get the console at launch (overpriced as it was) due to saving up Birthday/Christmas money but couldn't play it for a week lol. Still worth it though. Games were great!
The Birds was based on the Daphne du Maurier short story set in Cornwall, published in 1952. So the '63 film was based (loosely) on that, not weird bird behaviour in California
Keanuuu what a sweet man
To see this blatant Wawa ad with no sponsor disclosure is super disappointing. Lost a lot of respect for this channel. Nothing wrong with getting sponsors but trying to sneak an ad in as a “fun fact” alongside the rest of your content is beyond tacky. 👎
The irony of The Killers Mr. Brightside being a wedding song is hilarious and ironic, because the vocals are about the feelings the singer had about a tough breakup he once had, simply put.
OMG! I never thought there were other people who could sense when a spider is around. I've woken up so many times to find a spider crawling across the ceiling over my bed. Glad I'm not alone. 😂🤣😂🙂🖖💕

Wtf was 28 what is wawa and why should we care they sell pizza.😅

Deafening silence is the definition of Tinnitus.
Guinness "World Records" are products that are sold, rather than an actual adjudicator.
I'd very much appreciate if you didn't include these nonsense "factoids" in your list of facts
Does the world’s largest onion have more rings (& or layers, interpret the way you want) than a regular onion? Or more space btw the same number?
thank you for all your hard work
didn't know about this stuff, thanks for sharing. However, the business with the Orcas. It turned out people with loud boats disturbed thier nursery nearby and purposely harrassed the pods for months which totally pissed them off, resulting boats to be threatened
Excellent to feel connected, Happy New Year!
Gotta love the random ads sprinkled in. How TF is "this convenience store chain had pizza now" one of your "facts of 2023"???
Globee- catta- whatta?? Can you elaborate on the car bite?
