Top 10 Weirdest Facts

The Top Ten
More than 950 beetles can live in a sloth's fur at one time
The Eiffel Tower gets repainted every seven years

Bet it helps with the rust. If no one repaints it, then it will lose its color and end up like an abandoned observation tower.

There are about three pounds (1.4 kg) of bacteria living in your stomach

Well then. That explains why bacteria came out of me after I stabbed myself with a pencil by accident.

So you're telling me that I've technically been 3 lbs lighter than the scale always told me?

So you're telling me I was technically 1.4 kg lighter than I actually am?

Mullets are illegal in Iran

Well, of course it's illegal in Iran because Iran is an Islamic Republic. If the king, instead of Imam Khomeini, were in Iran, it wouldn't be illegal.

Actually, I must tell you that many people in Iran use mullets illegally, and nobody finds out. At every party you go to in Iran, you see everybody using mullets.

Why would mullets be so bad to be illegal in Iran?

Mullets are ugly, but I didn't know that they were that hated in Iran.

Odontophobia is the fear of teeth

This is incredibly ironic since an odontist is the British word for "dentist." Having odontophobia and the job of an odontist (dentist) would be the worst luck and the biggest case of irony ever.

Okay... So I'm guessing that person doesn't have teeth.

A Korean man married a pillow

Why does it have to say Korean? It's just weird for anybody to marry a pillow, but that's what I call desperate! They must have had some very soft pillow babies with heads. It's just like making dolls.

Considering how some of the pillows in Asian and American society have pictures of anime girls on them (a.k.a. Shreky Devito), I can't really argue, not that I have one.

That isn't the only weird marriage. A girl married a dolphin.

Yeah, pretty weird how much society can change.

A girl ate nothing but chicken nuggets for 15 years

I really loved this decent list, especially the stair one, the zebra one, and this awesome one. Lucky girl! I'd like to be in her shoes, although the shoe size may be XL or something. Bye, Kiretsun!

I get tired of the same food if I have it four days straight.

Is this a challenge? Does she think she can eat more than me?

A spatula that was lost on an astronaut's space walk is still floating in space

Aliens be like: We've searched the universe looking for an object to stir our pancake batter, and now that we found one, we can rule the world!

Was he doing an experiment to see if he could cook in space? Otherwise, he'd have absolutely no reason to have it out there.

Someone should put some eggs and a frying pan up there.

Early methods of CPR involved blowing smoke into the victim's anus.

Blowing smoke is now the anus's job, considering how much Taco Bell some people eat.

How would this achieve anything?

The Romans used crushed mouse brains as toothpaste

That is by far the most horrid thing I've ever heard in my life (and I've heard pretty strange things)!

Gross! The Romans were out of their minds at this point.

Ugh, that's disturbing. I am disgusted by this.

The Newcomers

? Thousands of pigs die every day due to explosions caused by their own feces

That's kind of sad but sort of amusing at the same time.

? There are over 200 corpses on Mount Everest and they are used as way points for climbers

Imagine how they break the news: Sorry for your loss, but look on the bright side - you might see your husband, who dropped dead on Mount Everest, being used as a waypoint. The wife would be pissed.

The Contenders
When there's thunder during a snowstorm, it's called Thundersnow

This actually happened in my town about a year ago, so it does happen.

When Zapdos and Articuno meet each other.

That sounds like a Warrior cat name.

Male seahorses give birth

Technically, the female lays the eggs inside the male's special pouch.

Your skin sheds and regrows once a month
A Caterpillar has more muscles than a human

So a caterpillar is stronger than I am? Why am I not surprised...?

You can beat brain freeze by pressing your tongue to the roof of your mouth

Thanks for the info, man. I kinda wish I had known this sooner.

How about eating hot food to get a brain burn?

I have not had a brain freeze in years, but I'll try it the next time I do.

Koalas can give you chlamydia
Nintendo was originally a trading card company

The Yakuza used them. That was before they made Pokémon cards, an E-Reader on the GBA that used cards, and Animal Crossing Amiibo Cards.

I knew it. Not only that, but they were founded in 1889.

A baking company created a chocolate chip cookie that weighed as much as seven pickup trucks
There's a mammal in Australia that has sex until it disintegrates.
A Buzz Lightyear action figure spent 15 months on the international space station

Well, there were special features in Toy Story 2 with this.

I guess Star Command really was a thing...

The iPod's name was inspired by this line from the classic movie 2001: A Space Odyssey: "Open the pod bay doors"
A beaver could swim 16 laps in an Olympic-size pool without taking a breath
A 29-year-old is about to become Britain's youngest grandfather because his 14-year-old daughter became pregnant

Wow. That is really young to have a baby and be a grandfather.

This is why the world is ending.

It has been scientifically proven that the less you know, the more you think you know

Goldfish paradox: what's the point of dying a fool when knowing everything is the better option?

I think I know this. Does this mean I knew less than I did before?

As if we didn't know, but it's scientifically proven!

The University of Munich, Germany installed giant slides instead of stairs

Well, the article didn't say anything about going up. There are probably stairs and elevators in addition to these slides, because the university has professors too!

These slides were probably made only for student recreation purposes. I don't know exactly how they go up, though.

Haha, crazy and smart! They just want to slide down to get there faster!

Sounds like a five-year-old's dream. But how do you go up?
