If you have any interesting trivia you'd like to share, post it here. Please only post stuff that is true, and stuff that may be useful to know, nothing boring.

How did I miss this topic!? For my last 2 years of High School I did a thing called Trivial Trivia every morning for my homeroom. I'll try and post some of the best ones as I remember them.
More U.S. Presidents were born in log cabins than wore beards.

Snakes are still alive for 30 minutes after their head is chopped of.
More people have died by falling into ditches in the sand than people that have been attacked by sharks, so sand is more dangerous than sharks

More people have died by falling into ditches in the sand than people that have been attacked by sharks, so sand is more dangerous than sharks Lethal ditches of sand that people could potentially fall into are more dangerous than sharks.

I dont see how you could fall into a ditch of sand and not escape. Couldn't you just keep digging so the sand piles up, allowing you to escape?
Erm. If you had a billion dollars and converted that into a stack of 100 dollar bills, you could stack the 100's on top of each other, and it would be be taller than the Empire State Building.

You fall into the ditch and then the sand falls around you and the sand is to much weight and die from lack of oxygen.

I was looking at my friend's old board, and I posted this a while back: Interesting Texas Trivia El Paso is closer to Needles, California than it is to Dallas. Laredo is the world's largest inland port. Dr Pepper was invented in Waco in 1885. There is no period after the Dr in Dr Pepper. Port Lavaca has the world's longest fishing pier. The all American meal, the hamburger, was created in Athens, Texas. The Capitol Dome in Austin is the only dome in the U.S. which is taller than the Capitol Building in Washington D.C. (by 7 feet). The worst natural disaster in U.S. history was in 1900 caused by a hurricane in which over 8000 lives were lost on Galveston Island. Texas possesses three of the top ten most populous cities in the United States. These are Houston, Dallas, and San Antonio. Texas is the only state to enter the U.S. by TREATY, instead of by annexation. (This allows the Texas flag to fly at the same height as the US flag.) The state mammal is the armadillo. Armadillo (nine-banded) litters always consist of 4 babies of a single sex.

If the magnet field field thingy coming from the earth's crust thingy was moved to the surface, Like if the center of magnitism on our Earth was moved oon one side of the earth. Everyone on that opposite side of the earth would explode and everyone one the side where the center of magnet thingy is would implode.
