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.

Nitrogen narcosis is an altered state of consciousness experienced by scuba divers whilst in the water. It is a consequence of the behavior exhibited by the inert gas nitrogen when breathed underwater at a greater than atmospheric pressure. It results in impaired mental functioning, which when you're underwater can be fatal, the same way that driving a car drunk can be fatal. Decreased mental coherence leads to mistakes being made and unnecessary risks being taken. The diving term for this behavior is 'getting narced', and while some people may not notice the symptoms when they do occur, all divers below a certain depth will be affected to some extent.
Go below 30 meters of depth and you can experience this....if you do, just swing a meter or more up again, and your fine.....whish you could do this with alcohol and thats a fact

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.

Coke machines are more deadly then wolves. (an average of 4 people in the USA die every year because a soda machine falls on them when they kick and shove it trying to get thier drink out while deaths to wolves are so rare that you can pretty much say 0 per year)

A snail's reproductive organs are in its head (a few people I know are like that as well).
On a similar subject, I love some some of the statistics people use to prove a point (especially politicians).
Statistics can prove anything.
For example.
25% of all road traffic accidents are caused by people under the influence of alchohol.
Therefore it is a fact that the remaining 75% are casued by people who are sober.
So statistically you have less chance of having an acident if you drive when pi55ed..
Discalimer/Warning... Do not try this!!!

Is'nt it a 100% chance that you will die?
