What's your favourite fact?

[GlitterSquid]

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!

A pound if feathers weighs more than a pound of gold.

How’s that?

@Brahumbug

A pound if feathers weighs more than a pound of gold.

No

They both weigh a pound

@Soubrquet

They are different. A pound of gold would be weighed in Troy pounds which is 0.82 of a pound avoirdupois, which is whst common or garden items such as feathers, potatoes or people are weighed in. Kilo of gold or feathers on the othet hand would be exactly the same weight.

Sorry about the typos!

Great thread. SO many things I didn't know.

I have one.

There are no hedgehogs in Canada, the USA, or any of the South American countries. They also have none in Australia ...(They do have them in New Zealand though, even though they have none in Australia!) 🦔🦔🦔

Best thread ever.

Swan wings are actually incredibly delicate

Yes, and they can produce two different kinds of milk at the same time for their young in and out of the pouch.
