Lie To Me (fake fun facts)

If my is asexual, can he still have sex with himself

Lighthouses are not designed to warn ships away from dangerous coastal rock formations, they’re actually Sea Monster repellents, designed to prevent those foolish night beach walkers from being eaten by sea monsters

Salt Water Taffy’s primary ingredient is pureed Octopus (that’s why it’s so stretchy and chewy)

Pigeon eggs are not small oval eggs, they’re actually large round discs, commonly colored blaze orange, and they fly away when disturbed

the eggs sold in supermarkets as “chicken” eggs are not really chicken eggs, they’re actually Ferret eggs, oh, Ferrets don’t lay eggs you say, well, that’s just what “they” want you to believe, who are you going to believe now, the “Egg Council” and theUSDA, or a fellow Doper?..

the common “Hummingbird” is not actually a bird at all, it is a rare variety of Mosquito

the New England Lobster (Homarus Americanus) is not a native of New England, they were actually imported from the plains of Africa, genetically modified to an aquatic state, and seeded off the New England coast, they’re not actually crusteceans either, they’re actually a form of mobile fungus

“Louie Louie” and “Bethoven’s 5th symphony” are actually the SAME song, except one of them is played backwards, both songs contain subliminal messaging that make the listener thirsty for a nice, refreshing glass of cod-liver oil

It’s well known that Franklin Roosevelt was the last U.S. President who never went to college, but it’s less well known that Harry Truman was the last President who was unable to read.

Hitler, in fact, didn’t trim his moustache…his facial hair grew like that naturally, in a medical condition known as Chaplin’s Trichomal Agenesis. The future dictator actually went clean-shaven before the First World War, but gave it up because of a traumatic experience with razor wire at the battle of Ypres. (Although some scholars believe that it this was merely a cover story, and that he merely wanted to cover a hairlip that was becoming more pronounced with age. Photographic evidence of this is inconclusive.)

Measured by word count, more Fullmetal Alchemist fanfiction was written in the last six months than Abrahamic holy scripture (including apocrypha) produced in the last 2,500 years.

Most high rise buildings in the USA have the 13th floor reserved for the local CIA cell. Entry to this level is forbidden to civilians, and only possible with a special entry key. This is why most American elevators don’t have a button 13.

Mankind has only visited the Marianas trench twice. In 1960. For 20 minutes. And in 1920. For 60 minutes.

The Phone Cops are everywhere, man!

Actually, research in economic history suggests it wasn’t so much the wheelbarrow that caused the problem. By driving up the marginal revenue product of labor, labor should have become more valuable rather than less; however, the calculus was still a few centuries away. In accordance to the Copenhagen Interpretation of quantum physics, everybody “observed” a fall in value, so that’s what happened. After the discovery of the calculus, the new tool led to the observation of the growth effects of capital investment and thereafter, capital investment was followed by the “observation” of growth in productivity, and has since then been followed by increased wages and standards of living.

That this is true is indirectly demonstrated by the fact that economic growth & industrialization happens when societies become more educated. This is the reason public intellectuals like John Paulos, Carl Sagan, and Steven Gould stressed so strongly the importance of science. The theory of economic growth to which all three, and many others subscribe, is called “The Copenhagen Tipping Point.” The basic idea is that if enough people “observe” a certain event, said event will obtain regardless of whether it is actually true. We’ve observes societies go from being, say, ignorant slobs to somewhat educated, and that evolution triggered the Copenhagen Tipping, causing investment and education to be “observed” to lead to growth in wealth and standard of living. Similarly, this change has caused antibiotics to be “observed” to be effective, and so the efficacy of medical science grew with education, &c.

The fear is that as America becomes more & more populated with ignorant slobs, medicine will be “observed” to not work, and therefore cease to be. Some scientists fear that the hysteria over polio vaccines, having been “observed” by many ignorant slobs to cause the disease, has actually made the the polio vaccine dangerous. Some economists estimate that by merely advertising economic ignorance, Lou Dobbs’s “exporting America” shtick has cost Americans $756.2 billion through Copenhagen Tipping.

What is ironic is that the phenomenom itself, Copenhagen Tipping, did not exist until the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum physics was solidified as the dominant explanation for observed facts. This causes the “Retrograde-Copenhagen Tipping” paradox, which is that the invention of the calculus led to economic growth as a result of investment because those effects were “observed,” but they were “observed” before the Copenhagen interpretation was ever “observed.”

There is a small pan-academic network of scientists, mathematicians, economists, psychologists, and dog breeders (trust me, you don’t want to know) who study this problem. They call the problem the “Meta-Copenhagen Meta-Tipping Meta-Point,” partly because they’re not sure where the “meta” should go, partly because they want the “meta” to be “observed,” and partly because they think it’s trendy. This group is solely funded by Rotary Charities International, and this funding is solely the result of a massive flash-crowd experiment where they had several thousand people “observe” the funding—just enough to bring it into effect.

The group has produced a massive body of literature on the problem, but they cannot get enough “observers” to “observe” the writings, and therefore the body of literature doesn’t really exists; however, it does exist, vaguely, in potental and concerted efforts to “observe” it can bring some of the works close enough to reality to be photocopied. Researchers hope that within two years, they can generate enough “observations” to scan the documents and publish them on the Internet for wide circulation.

Because of the problem of solving the Retrograde-Copenhagen Tipping paradox, this group of academics has an extraordinarily high rate of bourbon consumption.

Green olives grow with that orange thing in the middle.
