Unusual things you have looked up online to win an internet argument?

I find myself googling all kinds of things in a discussion/argument on the internet.
Such as vaccination rates by country, is it pronounced gif or jif, and how language is acquired if you are bilingual.
What about you?

“What did the Crowne Plaza Hotel at Niagara Falls used to be called”

“What does Paddy McGuiness’ wife look like”

How tall is Rory Stewart?

Couldn't find out, either

Do dogs go through the menopause?
Can you sit the citizenship test in a foreign language?
Is Goofy a dog?

(This was in RL but had to come to the www to prove it)

I knew the answer but I had to look up the fact that just the UK alone which had a 60 million population; and the whole world was 6 billion people.

My interlocutor denied 6 billion was even a thing!

Never done it or thought of it. Can't say I've ever been that bothered.
Usually the conversation moves on quickly and someone comes up with the relevant facts.

Is there any such thing as a myna bird and yes, I was right, there is. The person I was talking to was adamant I'd made it up.

Should you bring the water to 100°C before pouring it into the teapot. No, you should pour it when it gets to 95-98°C not that we'd know exactly when the kettle gets to that temp.

How to spell diarrhoea. I was right about that one, too.

How many Man U shirts with different sponsors did David Beckham wear. That's was this mornings little teaser with DS

My worst is googling on medical sites as to whether men with dwarfism had proportional penises or whether they were 'normal' sized. My friend told me to get off the medical sites and look on a porn site.

This gave the laptop a virus.

It was my mums laptop that she had to take into the shop to be restored.

Imagine the surprise on her face and those of the teenager-ish boys as the porn site popped up on this very respectable 70+ lady's laptop!
