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

No higher mathematics this Sunday, just a little did-you-know. Another get-together soon? With this completely useless info, you're going to score points.

1. For every person on this planet, there are 1.6 million ants. The total weight of all the ants combined is HEAVIER than the weight of all the people combined.

2. Right-handed people live on average nine years longer than left-handed people. Ouch.

3. Your nails on a long finger grow faster. No joke. The longer the finger, the faster the nail on that finger grows. This has to do with the length of the bone in the finger where the nail grows. This is also the reason why the nails on your fingers grow about three to four times faster than your toenails. Ahaaa.

4. The milk of a hippopotamus is pink. Lifegoals.

5. If you are in a room with 23 people, the chance that there are two people who were born on exactly the same day is greater than 50%.

6. The Eiffel Tower is shorter in winter than in summer. The reason is quite logical: steel expands when it gets warm.

7. In Japan, you can buy ice cream with jellyfish flavor. Yuck yuck yuck yuck.

8. The American flag was designed by a 17-year-old boy for a school project. He got a meager six.

9. Most beloved: cows really have best friends with whom they spend most of their lives. I WANT A COW NOW.

10. The man with the longest beard ever (hi 5.33 meters ew) lived in 1567 and died because he tripped over his um, beard while trying to escape a fire. Hahaha. Sorry. The irony.
