Phobophobia is the fear of phobias, or the fear of fear. A person with Phobophobia is mortified of developing a phobia.
The longest MONOPOLY game in history lasted 70 straight days.
Of course, you might recall that the longest underwater game of Monopoly lasted for 45 days (link). More fun facts: The longest Monopoly game in a bathtub lasted 99 hours. The longest game in a tree-house lasted 286 hours. The longest game played underground was 100 hours, and the longest one played UPSIDE-DOWN was 36 hours. Also: Fidel Castro ordered all the copies of Monopoly in Cuba to be destroyed.
The female praying mantis RIPS OFF THE MALE'S HEAD during sex!
Dr. Suess coined the word "nerd."
The term originated in the 1950 book "If I Ran the Zoo". From the book:
"And then, just to show them, I'll sail to Ka-Troo. And Bring Back an IT-KUTCH, a PREEP and a PROO, a NERKLE, a NERD, and a SEERSUCKER, too!"
No word in the English language rhymes with purple, orange, month or silver
Men have nipples because, as an embryo, everyone is a female until the Y chromosome kicks in.
Thomas CRAPPER popularized the toilet
Jellyfish evaporate in the sun. They're 98% water.
A mosquito is more likely to bite a blonde than a brunette. (thought lykie would like this!)
Harry Potter author JK Rowling, admitted that Dumbledore is gay. He was in love with a wizard named Grindelwald whom he later defeated in a duel.
Never miss a high-five again! Look at the other person's elbow first.
A man was accidentally stabbed through the skull with an iron rod. He lived 11 more years after the accident.
When Phineas Gage was a railroad worker in 1848 a bizarre accident nearly took his life. When handling explosive materials with a tool called a "tamping iron" (a 3-foot iron pole) sparks started flying. Phineas turned away for a second, just as an explosion launched the pole straight through his head.
The pointy end of the pole entered his head through the left cheekbone under his eye, went through his brain, and went out through the middle of his forehead. After the pole went through his head, Phineas walked home to tell his landlord and then went to see a doctor.
Though he survived, people said that his behavior was very different after the accident. Rumor has it that Phineas appeared at famous showman P.T. Barnum's Museum, to show off his injury, carrying with him the 3 foot pole that went through his head. Check out a real picture of Phineas Gage with the 3 foot pole that went through his head!
Phineas suffered severe convulsions for the rest of his life and died 11 years after his accident. Historians refer to his unusual circumstances as "the American Crowbar Case", despite the accident not actually involving a crowbar.
Having blue eyes is actually a mutation. Before the mutation occurred, all humans had brown eyes.
You're more likely to die on your way to buy a lottery ticket than you are to actually win the lottery.

Coral....wait till high school. You will eventually have lesbian friends. And they will hit on you, and you will feel awkward. xP
Girls don't enjoy kissing as much as guys, generally speaking.
