The Fun Fact Thread (FFT)

[RET4RD]

I hope that someday this thread will become the spout of the funnel of knowledge into the collective pool of the fountain of wisdom.

Only rule is, it only works when everyone is on topic. Again, fountain of wisdom. I'll start.

The heat from a spray-transfer MIG arc is hotter than the surface of the sun. We'll never know for sure, cuz no one's ever gotten close enough to the sun to REALLY measure, but I'll take their word for it.

Proxima Centauri b is the closest planet to us outside our solar system. It is 4 light years away, which is approximately 24 trillion miles. For anyone planning a trip there, there are no gas stations along the route, so you need to bring your own fuel for the return trip

Confuses says "Man who stands on toilet, Is a man high on pot" ....Also when you find any object your looking for. It will always be in the last place you look..... unless you're just special.

Fun fact 2 of them. First off I know some people like to clean their metals before welding them. Never use brake clean it can kill with in 24hrs. Second one is if you have a huge pigeon bird in shop and ur burning for 4 hrs straight. Next day it will probably be there in same spot it was still alive but it’s eyes will be gone, that’s actually happen to me. One more when you get a welding burn like a sun burn it actually burns you from inside out. Kinda like radiation burn.

Frozen Corn Dogs have a mean temper until you microwave them.

Fun fact - never microwave a corn dog. They turn into something that jiggles like a sex toy on a stick

So if I microwave a sex toy on a stick it will start jiggling? Imagine the savings on batteries alone!

You only had one rule! Shame on you guys!

My fun fact was on topic, because it is a fact.

More fun facts - the Marui Big Bear was the first ever RC Monster Truck, the Futaba 2F was the first radio that implemented a steering wheel, and Kyosho was the first RC nitro vehicle to have reverse.

@RET4RD , I thought this was going to be a really cool thread, and it started off as such, but unfortunately some people had to crap on it

 

[WickedFog]

Yeah, it's amazing how off-topic a thread can get.

Fun fact - Dentistry is the oldest profession in the world. Just saw that in a documentary

You only had one rule! Shame on you guys!

Fact: when someone is to follow only one rule. That rule is all that can be broken. So therefore it's a matter of having no other option. The rule is the reason of its own demise by being the rule itself....... .....but seriously I'm sorry. I saw something shiny and couldn't help myself. It's a problem I am trying.......oh batteries are done!....sh#t!. Doh!

Rattlesnake shakes it's tail on avg. 50 times per second...a mouse heartbeats on avg 600 to 700 times per minute. In Africa hippos hold highest human death toll per year. "and no strawberry milk does not come from hippos".....
( though one fact connecting the other could shed light on the subject? )

Bull-snakes mimic rattlesnakes when threatened but are completely harmless.
