There are more species of insects than anything else on Earth, most of them are beetles.

Re: Let's say random facts!
Professor, mauwie, I don't think that's quite right either. Because Mt. Everest is one of the seven summits (one of the seven highest mountains on the earth). You really have to be an highly experience climber to go up there. It's something about 8000 meters high, so will have a huge impact on a human body causing dissyness, altitude sickness and whatever what xD I think a lot of people died on that mountain in the past too xD
Maybe it's, 2000 ever completed climbing the Mt everest to the top and back :') maybe 4000 have tried?

kimelliie, yesss indeed, my father actually goes to Nepal every year which is where Mount Everest is located. Apparently they are thinking about closing it because so many people have recently died on it. It's an extremely treacherous climb.

Re: Let's say random facts!
And back to some more facts...
Table salt - sodium chloride - is made up of two different elements that would probably kill you (or at least do a lot of damage to your body) if you ate them or inhaled them as standalone elements. Sodium is a type of metal that reacts fairly violently with water and chlorine gas is fairly poisonous!
So, next time you have salt on your chips...

One Piece's lovely character Monkey D. Luffy Japanese dubbed by Mayumi Tanaka and she was born January 15, 1955 (she is now age 59)
If you ask English dubbing; dubbed by Erica Schroeder and she was born April 27, 1975 (she is now age 39)
and... One Piece's Turkish dubbing by Ahmet Taşar -but his voice is I think it's very bad!- and if you ask his age he is 19 May 1976 (he is now 38)
But Luffy is 17 years old!
Spoiler time!

Your resting tongue position differs on what your first language is. English speakers tend to keep their tongue towards the top of their mouths.

One of the sound effects in the intro of "1 Stp Klosr" from Reanimation was actually used in Pokemon: The First Movie.

XD I just read this and was like... "My tongue rests EVERYWHERE, because it's so DANG BIG." My tongue literally takes up my entire mouth.bubbles541998 wrote:Your resting tongue position differs on what your first language is.

Sooo onto a tongue fact! 1 in four people have an overabundance of papillae on their tongue, which causes them to be more sensitive to foods. Conversely, 1 in four people have an underabundance of papillae on their tongues, which causes them to be extremely insensitive to foods. These people are classified as super-tasters and non-tasters, respectively.

Junior Tycon, love your tongue-fact! I watched a documentary about super-tasters, it was quite interesting.

In real life, nothing is pure black because every object has a reflective value.
However, scientists recently created a 'super-black' material called Vantablack. It's blacker than any known substance on Earth. It absorbs all but 0.035% of visual light.

Re: Let's say random facts!
Atavism is the tendency to revert to ancestral type. Some species contain dormant genes of their ancestors. For example, we humans still contain the genes in our DNA that give us a tail. Therefore, if those dormant genes were awakened, we would be born with tails.
