5 Interestingly Irrelevant Fun Facts

Sometimes legal research brings unanticipated, unwanted and completely unnecessary knowledge. Here are today's examples:
  1. Polar bears are always left-handed. I'm left-handed, so I feel a personal connection with this information.
  2. Baby humans are born without kneecaps, those develop later. Heads up to those of you who like to kick newborns in the knee.
  3. It takes approximately 850 peanuts to make an 8oz jar of peanut butter. But how many strawberries to make a jar of jam...
  4. Hey calorie counters: Your obsessive ass is consuming 1/10 of a calorie every time you lick a stamp. If you lick five, you'd better head to the bathroom and induce vomiting. Fattie.
  5. Average human loses 40-100 strands of hair per day. Unless you have trichotillomania, in which case you lose much more than that. And you are 40-100 times more likely to be an absolute and complete nutbar.

  • There's an awesome book that I've been reading every time I've been forced into Urban Outfitters. It's called something like "Blah blah blah: 400 useless facts" and it has this kind of information. I love it.
