True (?) Facts (?)

You know, when you read something and say to yourself...really? 

I'm talking about things that are somewhat hard to believe, though certainly plausible, giving you doubts about the validity. Of course, I hate to say the words "fake news", just because I don't want to make any references to "Man Who Thinks He Is A President", but if you read the following facts randomly selected from the book "1001 Facts That Will Scare The S#*t Out Of You", you may have cause for questions. Or, you'll laugh out loud, like I did, maybe because author Cary McNeal typically adds in a bit of his biting sarcastic wit after each entry! haha
