  1. Haha those are some really interesting facts I also know a few random facts

    The youngest parents ever were 8 and 9 they lived in China in 1910.

    80% of America has the favorite color blue.

    That in a tiger shark a mother usually produces two sharks but before they are born they fight in the womb until one of them dies.

    But the spider one is really interesting and this summer I worked out doors and probably 3/4 of our girl staff was like deathly afraid of spiders. Very intteresting

  3. I learned a lot of these facts from the lids of Snapples. They are always entertaining to read, but I don't like it when they repeat. I have them all hanging up around my mirror in my room.

  4. These are some very interesting facts. I did not know some of these like the fact that hummingbirds can't walk. I guess I never really thought of that before.

  5. WOW those are some crazy facts..I didn't know only humans sleep on their backs I wouldn't have imagined that. People are babies if they are more scared of death than they are spiders. Spiders are harmless, well most of them, and people don't realize it! These are interesting though and you learn something new everyday!
