Fill me full of your favourite facts. The more obscure, the better!

My favourite all time fact is that two halves of a supermarket sandwich are never from the same sandwich and are each another half of another pair. Unbelievable.

I met a grown man who didn't know peanuts grew underground recently too, which pleased me.

Enlighten me further!

I heard this yesterday! Amazing fact

Kangaroos and wallabies can get pregnant, but suspend the pregnancy at 100 cells, until their current joey is large enough to leave the pouch, or rains come and there is better food available.

Kangaroos have three vaginas.

A fact I read on MN years ago, penguins exchange sexual favours for nest building materials.

These are incredible! Every day's a school day!

Otters have favourite stones, that they keep in a special little ‘pouch’ under their arm

Moles & weasels don't exist in Ireland. They didn't evolve and/or travel far enough in the UK before the land separated and sea level rose to cut them off.

@Wendarl that is TOO CUTE!!

What about Coke Zero?

I really want to go to the shops, buy some cans and test this out, but it's raining.

Hyenas aren’t related to canids (wolves, dogs, foxes etc), they are basically giant weasels. I found this out recently and it blew my tiny mind.

I absolutely love this!

If you give birth on a London Underground station, the baby gets free travel for life.

The chocolate bit inside a KitKat is made up of other rejected KitKats which have been smashed up.

I don’t understand the sandwich thing

The number of people who are on the planet today is close to %10 of the number of people who have ever lived. Ever.

I don’t understand the sandwich thing

Two while sandwiches are placed on top of one another ( same flavour, obviously ) and cut diagonally, then put into sandwich packaging. So you get a half from each sandwich 👍

Biscuitlover268 the sandwich is not made from two slices of bread then cut in half ... like we would do at home. They are just two random half sandwiches with the same filling !

I thought otters were rapey bastards.

New Zealand doesn't have snakes, but pigeons in NZ who haven't seen snakes for 100+ years are still scared of them.

Woolly mammoths still walked the Earth whilst the pyramids were being built.

We are closer in time to the Tyrannosaurus Rex than the T-Rex is to the Stegosaurus.

Cheetah cubs are dark and scruffy looking so potential predators mistake them for honey badgers (which are apparently really vicious) and are more likely to leave them alone!

It is impossible to hum whilst holding your breath
