How hard were these boys going at it then?? I mean, surely turning over in your sleep would make more noise than quitely w**king yourself off?
A mixture of Qi, general knowledge, being lucky enough to hear things at the right time and having a good long term memory ^_^
Did you know that galaxies are measured as having significantly more mass than what they are predicted to have by the amount of stars they contain, so scientists coined the term "dark matter", to explain the fact that there's matter that we can't directly see, but which nontheless makes up a significant portion of the universe's mass.
Did you know that you just lost the game?
Also only an average of 55% of Americans know the Sun is a Star.
I'm so proud of my fellow Americans. :|

Did you know that everyone on Earth is approximately six step away from anyone else on Earth?
It is called the Six Degrees Of Separation.
Well, it may just be an Urban Myth, but certain statistics say it is true.
Though, the article also shows this...:
''Mathematicians use an analogous notion of collaboration distance:[22] two persons are linked if they are coauthors of an article. The collaboration distance with mathematician Paul Erdős is called the Erdős number. Erdős-Bacon numbers are a further extension of the same thinking. Watts and Strogatz showed that: Average Path Length = (ln N / ln K) where N = total nodes and K = acquaintances per node. Thus if N = 300,000,000 (90% US pop.) and K = 30 then Degrees of Separation = 19.5 / 3.4 = 5.7 and if N = 6,000,000,000 (90% World pop.) and K = 30 then Degrees of Separation = 22.5 / 3.4 = 6.6. (Assume 10% of population is too young to participate.)''
Yay.
Anyway, I like to believe it's true, or at least partially. Feels awesome.

Did you know that celery have negative calories - it burns more calories eating a piece of celery than it actually gives you?
Did you know that polar bears actually have black skin and transparent fur, light reflects off of the transparent fur which makes it look white (same for ice and snow), and because the fur is so thick you cannot see any of the black skin except around the mouth?
Did you know that bats always turn left after leaving a cave?
Did you know that camels have three eyelids to help protect their eyes from sandstorms?
Did you know that the term "rule of thumb" was originally an old English term meaning that a man could only beat his wife with nothing bigger than the width of his thumb?
Did you know that your eyeballs stay the same size from the moment you're born, but your nose and ears continue to grow until the day you die?
Did you know that if you act like you're shaking salt onto your tongue, you will actually taste salt?
And finally, did you know that all of the above questions are facts except the last one, which makes you look like you're performing fellatio?
These are all just facts that come to mind right now, I know a load of weird things like also, on average a cow produces 200,000 glasses of milk in its lifetime and that Henry Ford didn't invent the car, a German man called Karl Benz (as in Mercedes-Benz) invented the car over 50 years before Ford invented the production-line.
Oh and also, an interesting fact. Echolalia is the involuntary repetition of what another person says, whereas echopraxia is the involuntary repetition of another person's movements.
I'll stop before my head begins to hurt.

Did that to one of my friends on the bus once, every single person there was staring at him. Classic.
Another one is
-"Have you heard that joke that they don't tell to gay people?" (no offence Tyloric
)-"No."
-"Exactly."

Hahaha, that's a good one. Along the lines of playing with semantics, there's:
You: "Prickssaywhat" (pricks say what said really fast).
Them: "What?"
You: *Smug look of satisfaction*
