Did You Know?

*and her whole family left for Cameron Highlands this morning, while she remains Home Alone..*(okay not exactly, lol)
Anyway, I came across this site, and found some random article or rather post. Seemingly useless(as it states: Did you know?-some truly useless facts) and crappy, it somehow got me thinking and you might well be releasing some endorphins upon reading these err so-called facts? Quotes: "Laughter is the best medicine." so..Enjoy! =D
