Put your weirdest fact right here! Feel free to post twice and make sure they're crazy wacky!

Victorian people used to hang a dead mole around the neck of a baby because they thought it'll ease its teething pain.
Hmmmm. Sea serpents were probably just sailors seeing a whale d**k.
A long time ago, if one castle was keeping another one prisinor, they would catapult dead diseased bodies at each other, hoping to give the enemies sickness.
Dentists invented cotton candy and the electric chair.
The oldest mummy ever discovered was in the U.S., it was a natural mummy in what they called the Spirit Cave. The Native Americans and the scientists who had the mummy had a decades long battle over the remains. The scientists couldn't study him due to the court proceedings. Eventually 1 tooth was tested because the scientists kept stating he predated the Tribe. After the DNA test that proved he was an ancestor they had to turn him and the child found with him to the Tribe. The scientists went to the funeral. There's laws in place that state Native remains belong to the Native Americans and due to their religious beliefs they have to be turned over for burial rites.
Best fact was that that mummy DNA is extremely unique and showed that no DNA markers from the people's who crossed the ice bridge. This basically backs up the Native American stories that their people have always been here. That people were in the America's long before the ice bridge crossing.

Oldest man made mummy is in South America, the Chinchorro mummies. Every continent has mummies, and a ton of them were made on purpose, though there are a lot of nature made.
Not that there is any debate on this, and no one is calling them this, but I personally call the Pompeii bodies Volcano Mummies. The plastering process used to preserve them when they were first discovered destroyed anything possibly mummified under the ash. I'm not trying to be disrespectful in the least, but to me they're technically nature made volcano mummies because the ash preserved them so well.
Yeah I know a lot about mummies.
The "S" in C. S. Lewis stands for Staples, which I think is an incredibly cool name.
THat you shouldnt put a body in a bag if youre tossing it in the water, if a coffin is sealed too tight the body will explode, a dead body will swell up 3 times if in a bath tub, cement will burn you if your in it, and a 1 ilb gold bar could kill someone and pay for their funeral.
