What is the weirdest fact that you know?

Goes right along with the people that discovered pregnant mare's urine (Premarine) makes a hormone replacer for women going through menopause.
Hmmmm... if I drink that, maybe I won't have hot-flashes...

To quote Austin Powers- "this coffee tastes like s**t"

I once initiated a discussion on the church bus I help on by asking kids to consider whatever would prompt someone to drink what comes out of a cow's udder. It sure isn't the same place as a woman's after all.

I tend to be able to relate to kids by bringing up weird stuff like that. We ended up later that night identifiying at least 2 of them who have a personality where they would try that just to see what happens and that they might have been just like the ones who did it.

I know lots of weird and useless facts, just like some others, I can't think of a lot right now.

I just found out recently that Napoleon Bonaparte was not nearly as short as people think. Most people believe that he was 5'2", but he was actually 5'6".

Maybe you're the same person. If you know what I mean..

No, I'm someone else completely

Hitler had one testicle
Hannibal used his own soldiers for nourishment while crossing the alps

From what I gather, Hitler was one-testicled and a vegetarian. Coincidence?

"Nurse, I spy gypsies run." is the same sentence backwards.

"A man, a plan, a canal, Panama." is the longest known example of a sentence that is the same backwards in the English language.

Here's a trick I know:
Get someone to say "pot's" 5 times fast.
Now ask that person what to do at a green light.
If the person answers without thniking about it, he/she should say "stop".
This works because "pots" backwards is "stop" and your brain reverses it or something like that. It's a fun trick if you do it fast enough.

Allegedly.... I don't think there is any concrete evidence to support the legend, sadly. The origin of Hitler's alleged monogonadularism was the British wartime propoganda song "Hitler has only got one ball" - the inspiration for the song was actually Hermann Goerring, who was shot in the groin during the Bierhalleputsch of 1923 and was left somewhat "less of a man" thereafter (hence the line in the song "poor old Goerring has got no balls at all"). He did manage to have a daughter in 1937, however, which led to a few rumours at the time. Anyway......

Next week on "History Today".........
