Interesting facts that sound like utter bollocks

more heat than light wrote:If you divide 1/998001 the answer includes every number between 1 and 999, except 998.

Is that not just because the last 8 gets rounded up to nine?

You don't have a skeleton inside you, you're a brain inside of a skeleton. You're piloting a bone mech that's covered in meat armour.

No, the number is recurring after that, so it goes back to 000, 001 etc. It just randomly skips 998. I have no idea why.

The average (i.e normally proportioned) persons feet are roughly the same length as the space between their elbow and wrist.

Similarly, most peoples arm span is roughly the same as their height.

Because of pregnant women the average number of skeletons in the human body is greater than 1.

Same with average number of arms or legs being less than two due to amputees.

If you multiplied together the number of fingers on everyone's left hand in the whole world the answer will be zero.

Stalin's daughter lived in Bristol in the 1990s.

Is that because some people have 0 fingers?

Yup, it only takes one person with no fingers on their left hand for the answer to be zero.

The Moon takes exactly as long to spin on its axis as it does to orbit the Earth, so the same side of it is always facing us.

(The causality here is actually reversed. Our gravity pulls the same side of the moon towards us, spinning around like we’re tethered together, meaning the axis spin must match the orbit. The side facing away from us looks like it’s been riddled with bullet holes compared to the side we see, like it’s a shield protecting us from asteroids)

That's why Hitler fled there at the end of WW2 along with his most trusted people.
Moon Nazi's are the worst Nazi's.

Read a history book mate, Poundland wasn't founded until 1990.

Schools need to start teaching people about the horrors of the mighty and all powerful grammar Nazi's.

The plan was that every 10 years they'd add another apostrophe. The bastards.
