        I prefer non-random facts.

        Only non-witches get due process.

          Facts is facts.

          I like the giraffe one.

            The giraffe one is excellent.

            Education is extremely important.

              ChatGPT taught me about octopus hearts just the other day.

              I liked the neutron star one.

                  The "honey doesn't expire" thing reminds me of the old observation... why are there expiration dates on salt, you know... the stuff that is millions of years old?

                      @LuFins-Dad said in 21 random but fascinating scientific facts:

                      So… Did anybody actually try the honey in the pyramids?

                      They did, and expired shortly afterwards due to The Curse of King Tut. Or possibly food poisoning.

                      I was only joking
