obscure and amazing facts...connections
ok...this may work as a game as there is a wealth of amazing and obscure facts to be found on the internet...
idea of the game is to follow one amazing fact with another... but they must be connected in some way....
for example... poster 1 quotes...'The international telephone area code for Antarctica is 672.'
poster 2 posts...'More than 50% of the people in the world have never made or received a telephone call.
shall we give it a go???
i'll start with;
'A pregnant goldfish is called a twit.'

Due to the high sodium and sugar content, MacDonald's must put the pickle in their Big Mac by law, or else it has to be classed as 'Confectionery' not 'Food' by the FDA.

It only takes one mating event to allow a queen bee to lay eggs for the rest of her life. A queen bee may lay up to 2000 eggs a day and up to 1,000,000 in her lifetime.
