10 unnecessarily retarded facts you're still glad you know now

Blissful sigh. It's Sunday again, folks. Once again no higher mathematics, just a little did-you-know. Time for crazy facts. Here they come.
1. We share fifty percent of our DNA with bananas. And sixty percent with goldfish. Just so you know.
2. Speaking of bananas… They are curved because the bunch they grow on gets heavier, causing it to hang down, but the bananas actually want to grow upwards (against gravity).
3. A baby octopus is the size of a flea when it is born.
4. It is forbidden for tennis players at Wimbledon to swear during a match. And to keep that in check, the referee memorizes the most important swear words in all possible languages. I like that.
5. Snakes are extremely sensitive to vibrations and can sense when an earthquake is coming. Sometimes up to five days before the earthquake actually occurs. Say whut.
6. The average man gets bored after 26 minutes of shopping. It must be different for women, right? Exactly. On average two hours.
7. When the inventor of the frisbee died, he was cremated and then made into, uh, a new frisbee. It was the last wish of Frederick Morrison. The good man died in 2010 at the age of 90.
8. Almost three percent of all the ice in Antarctic glaciers is penguin urine. Yikes.
9. It sounds like an incredibly bad joke but no, it’s really true: a sheep, a duck, and a rooster were the very first hot air balloon passengers ever, in 1783. The flight lasted eight minutes and the balloon landed safely back on the ground.
10. Just so we know and can then feel really bad: ABBA was offered a billion euros in 2000 for a reunion tour of 100 performances. That would amount to 250 million per person. They were done with it and said no.
