Some days fall pretty flat in the entertainment department. You wake up, go to work, eat your dinner afterward and maybe watch an episode or two of a series that’s just mildly interesting. In short - meh. But you know what could save such a day? A couple of things, really - a cat, a dog, a hearty meal, or a funny fact! And while we cannot provide you with the first three, we can definitely offer you our list brimming with ridiculously funny facts that might just make your day a tad bit brighter.
So, what categories do these fun facts encompass, you ask? Truthfully, so many of them we’ve lost count! There are unbelievable facts stemming from science, random facts about animals, and interesting facts about humans. However, we’ve made sure that they are all wildly entertaining, and hopefully, some will coax a snicker out of you. That’s why they’re here, after all!
Now, let’s figure out if the day that you are having is a particularly dull one. If so, you can definitely choose to read all of these hilarious facts at once. You know, the more, the merrier! And if your day is just slightly meh, you could ration these fun facts for a longer period of time. Either way, the facts are just a bit further down, and you should definitely check them out. Once that’s all well and done, give the most entertaining facts your vote and share this article with your friends.

Nearly every movie & tv show has to end with a disclaimer saying it's fiction. The disclaimer issue is rooted in a lawsuit against MGM for the 1932 film, Rasputin and the Empress.

Reasons for disclaimers are why irons have warnings not to use while wearing clothes and not to eat Tide pods. 🤦

Maybe it's because Ninety Kilometer Beach doesn't have a nice ring to it.

The latin name refers to its use as a psychoactive drug by some of the people who live where it grows. Its been used by locals for other good properties to treat various illnesses. The main chemical comes from the group that gave us quinine for malaria, antihypertensive drugs like Duxor, and anti-lymphoma drugs like VIban and Oncovin.

Loofahs are made from vegetables.
Two_rolling_black_eyes 3 years ago
Close. True loofahs are from a vine related to cucumbers. The first part of the confusion comes with sea sponges, which are an animal and used in bathing for centuries and have a similar texture when dry. Since sea cucumbers also exist (belong to the same group as starfish), and some look loofah shaped, its easy to mistake the origin of essentially a woody cucumber we call loofah.

A man from New Zealand lost a bet and had to change his name to "Full Metal Havok More Sexy N Intelligent Than Spock And All The Superheroes Combined With Frostnova." It took 5 years for the government to approve the change.
N Miller 3 years ago
No, it took the government five years to endorse the idiocy of a bet. Unless bets are considered a legally binding contract, in which case I need to have a word with my little brother over the eighty quintillion Smarties he still owes me from 1987...

A football fan once dedicated his obituary to disrespect an NFL team.
Vix Spiderthrust 3 years ago (edited)
That's nothing. There's a grave in England which is basically a lonely hearts ad - I paraphrase, but it reads something like "John Smith, 62, survived by his young widow Miranda, who has many of the qualities of a good wife and is still of childbearing age"

Perhaps I will dedicate my obituary to explaining why the term 'football' should relate to the game where players use their 'foot' to manipulate a 'ball', rather than the catching and throwing thing they call 'football' in the States. Please change the name to the 'National Throwy-Catchy Game' instead. Football belongs to the world. NFL is like if I ordered 'football' from Wish. NOTE: No offence to any US pandas! I love you and I mean this (mainly) tongue-in-cheek.

In Denmark we have a law that a place where ppl live is not a village unless there are more than 200 inhabitants in that area. I personally live in an area where there are 11 houses close to eachother but since we are fewer than 100 people living in the area we are not a village. (Hope this made sense). :)

Anatidaephobia is the fear that a duck may be watching you.
Vix Spiderthrust 3 years ago (edited)
No. Etymologically it is the fear of ducks, Anatidae being the genus of many duck species. Don't believe everything you read in The Far Side, for it may turn out to have been A JOKE.

A lot of these phobias seem to be made up. Look at any list and you’ll start seeing ones that are oddly specific. So specific that you may have a hard time thinking of a scenario where a person could discover this phobia.
