10 UNNECESSARILY RETARDED FACTS YOU'RE STILL GLAD YOU KNOW NOW

The world is crazy and everything we don't know about it is even crazier. Starting that barbecue with friends tonight? With this completely useless info, you're going to score points.

1. Every time you blink, your eyes take a mini-nap. We do this about 15 to 20 times a minute. We don't do it just to keep our eyes moist or to keep dust out, but also to sharpen attention and it's a mini-recharge. Okay, cute.

2. Some cats are allergic to humans. Or at least: usually it's a certain perfume being worn or a certain soap. And good luck figuring that out when your cat tries to convince you otherwise.

3. Hey dude, fathead! Did you know that the human brain is made up of about 60 percent fat?

4. You probably know: New York was once (in 1653) called New Amsterdam. A year later it was renamed New York by the English. Yet we, the kale heads, couldn't help ourselves, we took the city back in 1673 and called it ‘New Orange’. Which was about a name for a year, after which we returned the city to the Brits.

5. The abbreviation OMG (Oh. My. God!) was first used in a letter in 1917.

6. Rats and horses, by the way, cannot vomit. They literally can't. Lucky them.

7. Did you know that an average of 100 people choke on a ballpoint pen each year? Uh. Swallow.

8. Say whut. You lose almost a third of all your bones as you get older. We start our lives with about 300 bones, but as you grow, some bones fuse together like cartilage, resulting in 206 bones by the time you stop growing (by the time you're a young adult).

9. Realize. More than 50 percent of the world's population has never made a phone call.

10. Women look their oldest on Wednesdays at half past three. So don't schedule a date on that day, bye bye.
