The "Did you know?" thread.

Alright, this thread is just for showing off any unnecessary information, yet perhaps interesting and bizarre, information you might have.

For example;

Rhinoceros beetles are also the strongest animals on the planet, proportionally. They can lift up to 850 times their own weight. To put this into perspective, if a human of average height and weight had the strength of the rhinoceros beetle, it would be able to lift a 65 ton object, for example, an Abrams Tank.

Take that, ants!

Arguably the most famous single word in the history of cinema, "Rosebud" (uttered by Orson Welles in Citizen Kane) apparently began life as a dirty joke.

According to Welles biographer David Thomson, "Rosebud" was actually William Randolph Hearst's pet name... for Marion Davies's clitoris

:lol:

Too far?
