Ice is denser than liquid water. This is also why ice floats on water. Purdy sure it would have to be less dense to float? xD

You can momentarily relieve a headache by massaging the fleshy part inbetween your thumb and pointer finger. Just never do this to infants or pregnant women. (SRSLY!)

I'm known IRL for the amount for miscellaneous knowledge I know. Unfortunately I can't remember it now, when I try to think of something. It usually just comes to me.
I heard it was 6 spiders.

Velociraptors were covered in feathers.
The largest therapod is thought to have been Spinosaurus aegypticus.
Ants are the only animals other than Humans known to practice slavery.
The largest bird capable of flight known to have ever lived was Argentaves magnificens, a relative of the Andean Condor.
Megarachne servinei, once thought to have been the largest spider to have ever lived, was in fact a rather average-sized sea scorpion.

Cruithne was said to be Earth's second moon, but it is just a quasi-satellite.
The rainforest is not actually the best place to find new animal species. The garden is the best place. (In Britian, Jennifer Owen discovered 533 species of ichneumon wasp in her back garden in the suburbs of Leicester. Of these 533 species, 15 were new to Britain and 4 were new to science.)
Jesus wasn't actually born on December 25th. It is never stated in the bible.
Christmas Day is the day that the most people call 911. When people get a new phone, it isn't activated and the only number they can call is 911, so to test the phone, they call 911.

The largest single life form on earth is the Sequoia redwood forest in southern California. (All the roots of the trees are connected underground making the forest technically a single entity.)

2) The Beatles "1" album, reached number one in 34 different countries. And sold 20 million copies.

Ping-pong players cannot legally wear a white shirt. It makes the ball harder to see. In Cleveland, Ohio it is illegal to catch mice without a hunting license. Slippers are not to be worn after 10:00 PM. (In New York) Citizens may not greet each other by “putting one’s thumb to the nose and wiggling the fingers”. (Same)
