THERE ARE ROCKS ON EARTH THAT CAME FROM MARS… AND WE DIDN’T BRING THEM HERE.

There are rocks found on planet Earth that came directly from Mars. Scientists know this because they contain pockets of gas identical to the chemicals found on Mars. It’s believed these rocks landed here due to an asteroid hitting mars and/or from a volcanic explosion on our neighboring planet.

Fun Fact: I love fruit popping boba.

After years of observing these caddisfly larvae, French naturalist and artist, Hubert Duprat, wondered if the caddis flies would use any materials to build their cocoon. He introduced flakes of gold, pearls and opals to the caddis flies and they did in fact use them for their cocoons. They use their own silk as the glue to hold their pupal constructions together.

Fun Fact: The longest piece of literature ever written is a Loud House fanfiction called "Loud House Revamped".

The fanfiction is currently above 16,777,215 words (we don't know the word count because fanfic.net uses 24-bit integers to count the amount of words and this fic surpassed the computational limit), and is 2000+ chapters. It is written by Jamesdean5842 and is still being written to this day.

The story is about an OC named JD Knudson who moves into the Louds town and goes on adventures with them after creating a superhero team with them. According to the recap (Obviously not even close to finished recap) on Tvtropes.org, the fic consists mainly of loud house episode plots rewritten to include the OC and a multitude of crossovers with other franchises from any piece of media you could possibly think of. (https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Recap/TheLoudHouseRevamped)

Some examples of the crossovers are Ed, Edd n Eddy, Naruto, Dante's Inferno, Inside Out, Matilda, Pulp Fiction, CatDog, Metroid, The Simpsons. This is a very small selection of the crossovers done in the fic.

Despite the fic's main characters being minors, the story contains lots of swearing, sex, romance, drugs, and violence. The sheer amount of strange details about this fic is crazy, reading the TVtropes page will give you some intense mental whiplash.

This is just the tip of the iceberg for this story, it is absolutely insane.

One of my favourite bits of media history trivia is that back in the Elizabethan period, people used to publish unauthorised copies of plays by sending someone who was good with shorthand to discretely write down all of the play's dialogue while they watched it, then reconstructing the play by combining those notes with audience interviews to recover the stage directions; in some cases, these unauthorised copies are the only record of a given play that survives to the present day. It's one of my favourites for two reasons:

It demonstrates that piracy has always lay at the heart of media preservation; and

Imagine being the 1603 equivalent of the guy with the cell phone camera in the movie theatre, furtively scribbling down notes in a little book and hoping Shakespeare himself doesn't catch you.

we do need to revisit the wording of "you can't have your cake and eat it too" because i don't think it clearly enough conveys that it's more that you can't simultaneously retain a cake and also get to consume it (which would render you cakeless). for years i was like But why not....it's my cake....?

A Roman doll with moveable joints and accessories was found in the sarcophagus of Crepereia Tryphaena, an unmarried 20-year-old woman. The sarcophagus is dated to the late 100s (2nd c. AD) making the ivory “Crepereia Doll” nearly two thousand years old.

I'll give you a choice, you can talk about any of the CP OC's we already know about, or you can talk about any of the ones we still don't know much of.

Ok, so I'm just going to say some random fun facts about Dash and Five, mostly because the other cp oc's I have are all over the place-

A few days ago I got a completely new lore idea for the other cp oc's and I'm still trying to fully figure everything out so nothing is set in stone yet- Anyway here's the fun facts:

Dash

-Dash's name is inspired by my old cp username Thunder Dash.

-Her design is inspired by my old cp avatar.

-At some point I had the idea to make her into the narrator for the other cp story I have, but I scraped that idea. In addition to that her name was gonna be "N".

-She was meant to be self aware, but she's not anymore.

Five

-Five's name was originally Finn, but compared to Dash's it seemed out of place so I went with Five instead.

-Five was literally created for the sake of making Dash more interesting. She was too boring on her own.

-His design is actually based on a old cp oc of mine, but I literally remember nothing about him except that he was purple, he had 3D glasses, he was a cameraman and that he was meant to be shipped with another oc.

-At some point I had the idea for him to have anger issues which led to him breaking his glasses often but I scraped that idea rather quickly.

Additions:

-Both of their designs are basic/simple on purpose, but for different reasons. That's not even me making up excuses I was actually going for them looking basic, but recognizable enough.

-Foolish Deception is basically a Invader Zim/Phineas and Ferb/Kit vs Kat kind of situation.

-When I tried to come up with a title I literally looked up "fancy word for stupid". And then Foolish Deception popped in my head.

I just read that in Cuba in the 80’s they put up a statue of a cow that produced more milk than any other cow and i think that’s pretty neat.

Bonus Trivia Fact: the guy in the rat suit was arrested the night before they shot this scene for a DUI or something. He told the officer that he had to be on set the next day for a role. The officer asked what he was playing and he responded ‘a rat. The officer didn’t believe him and brought him back to the station. They had to bail him hout.

This got even funnier when I realized that to shoot it, essentially someone had to hurl a massive rat puppet at Cary Elwes.

Hey fun fact, if you suffer from a high fever (~102) after getting your covid vaccine, invest in a cool water bath and a nap.

Is it me or do people not remember when lobo killed Santa?

Basically the Easter bunny hires lobo to kill Santa Claus. Yes this is what’s about but I decided to let Tech Times explain this. No joke but I just ruined Christmas with an underrated comic book.

But I found an adaption of this that was made in 2002 by Free movie cinema.

I don't know who needs to hear this right now, but you're amazing. Just in general. No specific reason, just by being you. And that's a fact. 👍

Fun facts about wolves that I find super interesting!!

1. Wolf pups are born deaf and blind, and weigh 1 pound.

Super cute, they're so small! By 2 weeks their eyes open and by the time they're 6 months old they're nearly as big as the adults!

2. Wolves can hear things up to 10 miles away

Now this is only under certain circumstances. They can hear the best on the open tundra, and in the forest they can hear things up to six miles away. Woah!!

3. Wolves don't pose a threat to human safety

Even in wolf country, you are more likely to be killed by a bee sting than a wolf. :3

Bonus fun fact for wolf lovers:

The Czechoslovakian Vlcak, also known as a Czechoskovakian wolf dog, is the closest relative to a wolf as it was bred by crossbreeding German Shepherds and Carpathian Grey wolves. So, if you love wolves, this is the closest you can really get to owning one, but they're super hard to take care of! Here's what it looks like:

Fun Fact: Zira loves animals a lot. She has not one, but two pets. A hedgehog named Nova, and a snake named Ivy.
