Ok, the name of the game is to post a fact that not many people know...simple as that.
fact: when you see a statue of someone on a horse, if both the horses front legs are off the ground the rider died in battle. One leg off the ground and rider died from wounds sustained in battle. All four legs on the ground and rider died of natural causes.
Wow, didn't know that.
fact: The longest movie ever was called 'the cure to insomnia' and consisted of a guy reciting poems for hours, with sometimes an intermezzo of pron or metal music.

If you buy a ticket for the UK national lottery wait until 3 days before the draw.
If you buy the ticket earlier than that you have more chance statistically of dying than winning.
Is'nt it a 100% chance that you will die?
G.
lol... well still goes.
fact: you have about the same chance at winning the lottery as the chance that a big shiny UFO lands in front of your house and a green alien coming out. Yet someone wins every week...

One in 10 Europeans is allegedly conceived in an Ikea bed.
Don't the stores mind?
Doesn't anyone notice, or are all the other customers / staff too polite to say?
Honestly. 
I think they got used to it by now. 1/10 is a looooot of people shagging in the store.
fact: an ant can survive several days without head.

As far as i know these are true.....
Mant years ago a game was invented in Scotland where the rules stated GENTLEMEN ONLY, LADIES FORBIDDEN thus GOLF was born.....
An equally long time ago a rule was introduced stating that a man could not beat his wife with a stick thicker than his thumb, hence the term "rule of thumb"
First is a myth, golf has been around for a longer time then english
second is true, and still counts in some countries.
fact: I need coffee.

i know someone who claims to be able to suck his own... *ahem*
strangely, no-one has yet asked him to prove it
 
Marylin manson can do that too. He had a few ribs removed so he can...

False, and has been proven so many times its like beating a dead horse by now.
Fact: Post even the most random, irrelevant, and otherwise useless statement to an internet forum and someone will post a reply to argue with you.
Not always
I disagree!

fact: Elephants are the only animals that can't jump
hmm I know they can jump when running, but I don't know if they can jump straight up standing still.
fact: The only animals not capable of swimming are a couple of monkeys. All the others can swim.

Here's some irony for you:
Alfred Nobel, endower of the Nobel Peace Prize, was the inventor of nitro glycerin ;)
yup, he started the Nobel Peace Prize because he realized what nitroglycerin could do. He also invented TNT by the way, which is the same in an absorbant rock.
fact: It's very unlikely that you get hit by lightning. It's even more unlikely that you get hit by lightning 2 times and live to tell the tale. The current world record stands at 7 times.

The word "Cop" comes from Constable On Patrol.
hmmm didn't read this before. My mind must be slipping.
That fact isn't true. The word "cop" comes from the 1900's alternative "copper". "to cop" was, in those days, the word for arresting someone. It was slang back then, and you were charged for insult if you used the word "copper"
