Fun fact: Back in 1802, there was a book titled "A Pickle for the Knowing Ones" written by american businessman Timothy Dexter, which he used to complain about politicians, the clergy, and his wife. However, the book was special in that it used zero punctuation and he pretty much spelled every word he could unconventionally. There were so many complaints that in the second edition, published in 1805, he added an extra page at the end with 11 lines of nothing but punctuation marks, which readers were instructed to insert wherever they felt they were necessary.
What a legendary person

i know this one cuz of sam o'nella
Dexter was also dropped out of school when he wad very young too (I think around 8 years old).

Fun fact: The roman emperor Caligula was widely considered to be mad, once forcing an entire legion to do nothing but collect seashells after a defeat, and is said to have made his favorite horse, Incitatus, a consul. It's also said he once had an entire section of the audience at an arena tossed in with the wild beasts during intermission because he was bored
I'm actively serving and can confirm doing inane activites after training is still a commonly practiced tradition.
And knowing a bit about history, I can also tell you that making Incitatus a senator was supposed to be an insult to the senate. "You're so bad at your jobs my fucking horse could do it"
If I recall, he had abandoned an attack on Britannia right at the shores of now France, impromptu declaring war on Neptune himself and having his men stab at the water.
Rick Riordan still doesn't fail me
Most modern historians actually doubt these stories due to the biases and inconsistencies of the writers. Also, he PLANNED to make his horse a consul, but never fully did.

Fun fact: the word "oxymoron" comes from 2 Greek words:
Oxy (Oxus) - meaning sharp
Moron (Mōros) - meaning slow, stupid, or dull
So "oxymoron" means "sharp-dull" making it an oxymoron itself.

Fun fact: The first guy to use anesthesia in surgery, Robert Liston, also once cut a persons leg off so fast that a spectator died of shock, the patient and an aide to Robert also both died of sepsis from the unclean saw. This lead to the only known surgery with a 300 percent death rate.
I see someone’s being keeping up with their puppet history
this is one of my favorite things I know
Just “forgot” to leave out that this was because, at the time, surgery had to be done extremely quickly to minimize blood loss and risk of infection.
The aide died because he accidentally amputated his fingers together with the leg. I imagine the aide was holding the patient to place and Liston got... uh too enthusiastic.
... I have to look this up now because I can’t trust anything after this vid. You could all be in on this. IS EVERYTHING A LIE?!
Fun fact: In 1997 a cat named Stubbs became the honorary mayor Talkeetna, an Alaskan town. The town didn't even have a real human mayor. He served as honorary mayor until 2017.

Fun Fact: It was common practice for Egyptian kings to schedule battles with their enemies, and if the other king couldn't make it that day, they would reschedule. 😁
Fun fact: Kermit is implied to have caused 9/11. In a Muppets special in 2002, Kermit is shown the world if he didn’t exist, and the Twin Towers are still up. This implies that Kermit somehow caused it.

Fun fact: many people know that the word orange existed first as the fruit, and then the color was named after it. However, the word orange has existed in Europe since before orange fruits were brought to Europe from India. By etymological coincidence, a region in France came to be known as "the Principality of Orange" over 100 years before the first oranges were brought to Europe. The Prince of Orange married into the Dutch royal family, so the Dutch had an association with orange before it was even a color.
Fun Fact: Penicillin was only discovered because Alexander Fleming was too lazy to clean up after himself.
"In 1928 Dr Alexander Fleming returned from a holiday to find mould growing on a Petri dish of Staphylococcus bacteria. He noticed the mould seemed to be preventing the bacteria around it from growing. He soon identified that the mould produced a self-defence chemical that could kill bacteria. He named the substance penicillin."
moral of the story: laziness has a chance to give you Nobel Prize
That’s kind of a commonly known fact
@@FieryPheonix-pq8sh I didn't know he discovered penicillin out of laziness. I assumed he was studying the mold when he made the discovery.
I hate to be "that" guy, but it isn't 'mould' it's actually 'mold'.
@@JacobBeckstrand I'm pretty sure "mould" is the British English spelling. But in American English, yes, it is "mold."
Fun fact: otters have a little pouch of skin under the arms, where they keep their favorite rock. It helps them open seashells, among other things, and we've got records of them getting upset when losing the Special Rock.
I've actually heard about this recently. i don't remember if it was in school or just surfing on the internet lol
i accidentally first read this as "others" as in "others have a little pouch of skin under the arms" as in "other humans have a little pouch of skin under the arms where they keep their favorite rock and use it to open seashells and we've apparently been observing these other humans because we have records of them getting upset when they lose their skin pouch rock"

One of my favorite fun facts: The oldest “your mom” joke was discovered on a 3,500-year-old Babylonian tablet.
So you're telling me that the one in Shakespeare's "Titus Andronicus" wasn't the first one?
THE SACRED TEXTS
This is true, contrary to popular belief it was not the Titus Andronicus that was the first, it was actually Babylonian tablets, presumably made by students. Although most of the joke has been lost over thousands of years, there is one thing that is certain from this joke, they are talking about your mother
[part that was lost over thousands of years] of your mother is by the one who has intercourse with her. What/who is it?

and did some one ask who's Joe?
So what was the joke?
Daniel is actually rly smart and funny, it’s harder to tell from his sketches but honestly seems like a rly fun guy to hang out with
5:41 fun fact, the reason why he drew instead of painting was because his paintings were worth a lot more than the total check. So whenever he had a big family meal, he told everyone he would be paying but not a single penny would come out of his bank.
my absolute favorite fun fact: that arrangement of four spikes at the end of a stegosaurus's tail is called, scientifically, a thagomizer. It simply did not have a name until Gary Larson, creator of the Far Side comics, drew a panel in which a caveman lecturer is explaining dinosaur anatomy and says "Now this end is called the thagomizer... after the late Thag Simmons" and the scientific community just kinda ran with it (@katie.cali)
I love this fun fact so much I can already tell it'll make me happy for years to come
I just saw the word thagomizer for the first time yesterday (i think in an article or video about women’s body parts being named after men who ‘discovered’ them)… what’s the word for the phenomenon where you have never heard of something and then when you hear about it the first time, suddenly you see it everywhere?

Fun fact: Charles Darwin kinda hated barnacles, like, really despise them, this was all because they have biological traits that are quite similar to other species of animals, so they were really hard to classify. So Darwin, as a gentleman he was, took a 8 year long side quest to research them. So he tried to studied em and classify em and they just did no give a damn bout this bearded man's investigations. So he once claimed the quote I hold more dear to my heart: "I hate a Barnacle as no man ever did before, not even a Sailor in a slow-sailing ship."
-Charles Darwin, the father of evolution, my man.
As Ash Ketcham once said, “Yo real quick, this dude spent 8 years studying barnacle dick”
Fun fact: Lichens are a symbiotic union between a fungi and an algae, which basically fusion and make a new body to survive. It's shapes and color depends on the conditions they got united on.
The fungi gives the algae water, the algae gives food to the fungi, and they usually make this symbiosis when conditions are hard for them to survive alone.

FunFact: Once you had your first hiccup, you never truly stop hiccuping again, the intervals between the hiccups simply get longer
*sob*
Same with claps
Same with sneezes? And/or coughs and farts?
once you are born, life is simply the long interval of time from when you came from nothing to wait until you return to nothingness

Okay, I don't know if anyone mentioned it before (I don't want to go through all the comments), about the Charlie Chaplin one. The issue was that when he entered the contest, he was walking as he usually does. Meaning: at the normal human pace. The other contestants however, where imitating the accelerated speed from the movies. He lost the contest for being most like him... by acting exactly as he does. 😂 Personally, I always find it amusing 🙂
I did not know that part of it! wasnt there also someone else (also a comedien) who entered a them look alike contest and lost? other than Chaplin.
@@cheetahman515 I honestly don't know. I knew about Chaplin, because I read about it somewhere long time ago. However, upon a quick google search I came across a story about Dolly Parton losing in a drag-queen Dolly Parton look-alike contest, which is even funnier.😂
@@cheetahman515 I think you're thinking of Dolly Parton, who lost because she was "too tall."
Fun fact: Ninjas didn’t actually wear black, in the night they usually wore grey or navy as it blended in better with the sky or walls (black would have a more distinct silhouette), or they wore regular civilian clothing during the day to blend in with a crowd.
The reason why ninjas are said to wear black comes from the theatre, when the “stage crew” would wear black (they weren’t members of the cast but they might have held/moved props or scenery) and so people were used to just sort of mentally cropping them out. One playwright used this to their advantage and had one of the stage crew murder a character, and because they were made to be ignored, it seemed as thought they appeared out of thin air - like a ninja.
I always like facts about misconceptions :)

Fun fact to go with this fun fact: Kuroko is the term for the stagehands of traditional Japanese theater, and they are typically dressed in all black. They could also wear all white or blue to blend in with snowy or watery backdrops.

Here's one: When a horse was being prepped for surgery in 2012, they tried to oxygenate it by putting it in a pressure chamber filled with oxygen.
They had forgotten to remove its horseshoes, however, so when it panicked and kicked the metal walls, it created a spark and EXPLODED THE CHAMBER.

One of my favorites: Renoir (painter) had a really bad arthritis by the end of his life. To stay warm, he’d keep cats on his lap. As a result, one of the indicators of an authentic Renoir is cat hair trapped in the paint. @BarbaraBlush
1:22 Fun fact: While Winnie the Pooh from the story is now public domain (which is why the Blood and Honey movie next year is in the clear), the red shirt he is usually depicted in is a Disney invention and *not* public domain. Furthermore, that red shirt is a trademark, not a copyright, so it will never be public domain so long as Disney keeps renewing the trademark.

Fun fact: If you're a sheep farmer and want to protect your sheep from wolves and such, you can just stick a llama in the field. The sheep assume the llama is just a big sheep, the llama assumes the sheep are all small llamas and that it is now the alpha llama. The llama will now patrol the field and if a predator comes in the sheep will naturally hide behind the llama, and the llama is big enough and brave enough to scare off the predator. Much cheaper than constantly checking your fencing and less effort than watching the sheep all day.
(@reubsbarry)
is that actually true or are you messing with us
@@wackyanimations3326 It seems real. They're called guard llamas and they act kind of like a shepherd dogs.
@@wackyanimations3326 It's true. Llamas aren't exactly peacefull creatures, and they WILL bite if given the chance. Super moody, with a penchant for vengance. Of course, it won't chase away a hungry bear or a pack of wolves looking for an easy snack. I'd still recommend a proper guard dog over a fluffy, oversized sheep-tank, but to each their own.

Fun Fact: All reptiles are cold-blooded, but the reason they sit in the sun is not only to warm their bodies but also because the vast majority of their predators have infrared vision, so it also doubles as a form of camouflage.

Fun fact the story about carrots being good for your eyesight was started in WW2 by the allies to try and hide the fact that they had invented radar from the Germans. It was very successful at least temporarily and the axis powers shipped hundreds of tons of carrots out to the front lines for their soldiers.
"the axis powers shipped hundreds of tons of carrots" has not been confirmed, we only have proof that consumption went up in England.
According to John Stolarczyk, curator of the World Carrot Museum, “there are apocryphal takes that the Germans started feeding their own pilots carrots, as they thought there was some truth in it.”
@Goéland where can i buy the tickets to this museum this is the best thing I ever heard of. How the hell did I not know there was a world carrot museum!

Fun fact: water guns were invented on accident. Man named Lonnie Johnsons was an inventor/engineer and in 1982 while performing an experiment with water and piping he accidentally squirted water on himself. Instead of being mad he was intrigued by what he had made and it later became known as the first ever water gun.
That is false
The Heilongjiang hand cannon or hand-gun is a bronze hand cannon manufactured no later than 1288 and is the world's oldest confirmed surviving firearm. It weighs 3.55 kg (7.83 pounds) and is 34 centimeters (13.4 inches) long.

Fun fact: In 1949, the Agricultural Act was passed which said that the government would pay farmers for their produce. Well, dairy farmers had a sort of a problem, they're produce couldn't be stored for long, or else it would go bad. So they turned it into cheese. There was so much of this cheese they didn't know what to do with it, and they started storing them in vaults. There are many cheese vaults across America. And it makes sense when you hear about: Cheesy fries, stuffed crust pizza, big mac with cheese. The government is trying to get rid of it all with programs like, "Got Milk?". In 1981 I believe, they handed out free government cheese.
The tug o war bit had me dead 😂😂😂😂 amazing editor
Fun fact: the color orange was named after the fruit. when the orange was first discovered, it’s color was considered as a type of red, so at one point in time, it was perfectly valid to ask, “What color is an orange?”
the color orange was originally called geoluhread, meaning "yellow-red" :)
It's the same way we still treat cyan and azure with blue and chartreuse and mint with green. Cyan is the same distance from blue as yellow is from red.
still not valid unless a person's blind or 4 years old tho
Also fun fact: The orange was not discovered, it was bred with pomelo and mandarin. No oranges in the old times. That applies to lots of citrus fruits.

Fun Fact: Formula one cars have cooling systems for the wheels during races in above forty degree temperatures. This is because if the rubber gets too hot, the rubber becomes sticky and tacky. Then the tires grip onto the track too much almost like a glue making it harder to move. Formula one drivers often describe it feeling like a flat tire, yet when they go to check its perfectly pumped up. This was discovered in early 2007 and since then they have designed the wheels so air can pass through them to cool it down. They have also made cooling blankets; giant blanket like things filled with ice that they wrap around the tires for four hours before racing.
I think the most fun part about this fact is that they also have the complete opposite for the exact opposite reasons, at any track where the weather is cooler, they have tyre warming blankets, because cold tyres have 0 grip. Race tyres are super temperamental and have a very small optimum temp window!
Fun fact: Ramin Karimloo played many roles in Phantom of the Opera. He played Raoul in one version, Phantom during the 25th Anniversary version, and he even played Christine’s dad in the 2004 film.

Wait he played Christine's dad?? How did I miss this?

Fun fact: Adolphe Sax, the inventor and maker of the saxophone, had so many close calls with death some believe divine intervention was at play so that the saxophone could be invented.
As a child, he fell from 3 stories up, hit his head on a stone, and was believed to be dead, but miraculously survived.
At 3, he drank a bowl full of acid (acidic water, not pure acid, but essentially same effect) thinking it was milk.
As a young child he swallowed a pin, and somehow didn't die from internal bleeding.
He almost died from a gunpowder explosion, but survived with serious burns.
He fell into a hot cast iron pan, burning his sides.
In more than one instance, he somehow survived accidental poisoning and asphyxiation from furniture that was recently varnished in a closed room, while sleeping.
While young he was struck in the head by a stone and nearly drowned in a nearby river after being either unconscious or delirious
Because of these incidents, his mother swore that he wouldn't live because of his bad luck, and he was known by neighbors as "little Sax, the ghost"

I saw someone else write a guillotine fact, which inspired me to write this one. When the guillotine was still being used as a method of execution, they would have to replace the baskets that the heads would fall in after each use. This was because the severed heads would chew through the baskets, making them unusable. The heads would also continue to blink after being disconnected from the body.
That's because the severed heads could survive for up to 60 seconds after decapitation. It's really fucked up to realize they were alive, could feel pain, but couldn't scream or breathe or anything else.
@@skittybug1558 i was gonna say that
@@skittybug1558 It's still uncertain if severed heads are still alive enough to be conscious or feel pain. The general consensus is that it's the last of the brain's neurons firing off and causing muscles to naturally tense and relax, much like how putting salt on freshly slaughtered meat will still cause it to twitch. And well, we're not really in the age to be trying it out again to see what the reality is.

Ok I gotta say that commercial is amazing! Very nice work lol
One of my favorites is that it's illegal to suspiciously carry a Salmon in the UK. It's part of the Salmon Act of 1986, and aimed at discouraging poaching, and it sort of just stuck around. This goes alongside some of my other favorite dumb laws like in some places, wearing clown costumes. Not sure where that came from. (s_tselnik)
how do you suspiciously carry a salmon? what methods of carrying salmon are suspicious as opposed to non-suspicious methods? how do you carry a salmon non-suspiciously?
I feel like is I've heard this somewhere, but I don't know if that's because it's true, or false
This happens with a lot of the questions in this video though lol
“IS THAT FUCKING FISH JENGA?!”
“That guy looks fishy, he’s hiding something in his coat!”
In Pennsylvania there’s a super old law stating it’s illegal to have oral sex, and one that says it’s illegal to sleep in a bathtub
Fun fact: On december 31, 2016, 1 second was added to global time. Similar to a leap year, this accounts for the fraction of time lost.
So wait we lost a second of time??

fun fact: Daniel Thrasher is amazing and inspirational
Not a single one of your videos has ever UNpoisoned my brain, young man.
Fun Fact: Spiders do not have muscles, but walk around on a hydraulic system. As many will joke, they are essentially walking around on 8 boners. Their legs curl when they die for this exact reason.
WOW
That is false. They do have a slightly different way of flexing muscle tissue but they still have it
Aren't they mostly bonery tho?
I have to commend Daniel's acting skills; he was so convincing playing the editor that it even looks like he was played by someone else.
Wait that WASN’T SOMEONE ELSE???
@@meepelo45 u missed the joke :(

the editor seeking ancient, secret knowledge bit was great :D
Fun Fact: Spiral staircases in medieval castles run clockwise. This is because all knights used to be right-handed. When the intruding army would climb the stairs, they would not be able to use their right hand, which was holding the sword, because of the difficulties of climbing the stairs. Left-handed knights would have had no trouble, except left-handed people could never become knights because they were assumed to be descendants of the devil. (darkriver26)
Fun Fact: An Australian author named John Flanagan wrote 3 linked series that I think you'd enjoy reading in this order: Rangers Apprentice, Brotherband Chronicles, Royal Ranger
Not all, majority. Ironically, this did give the few left handed swordsmen an advantage
@@Evsta I love those
True, and the individual steps themselves were nonuniform in height so that only people who actually lived their would be surefooted on them.
well I guess I'm descended from the devil
3:55 for anyone wondering why race horses have such weird names, its because when you register them for their breed they are they need a unique name so they dont get confused with another horse
Often times horses have crazy long registered names but in actuality the name the horse responds to is smth like "Jeff" or "Lily"
Or simply just one of the words in their name, like if a horse was named "A Summer Night" then theyd most likely go by "Summer" or "Night"
So yea most of us dont actually call out "PIZZA PARTY FRIDAY, COME HERE PIZZA PARTY FRIDAY!" On a regular basis
Well, you should.
My own horse had the registered name of Automotive Express. I called him Moe. His sister is named Automatic Express. Her name is Matty. Horse names are fun.
Aaah. Okay. So, if a rigged horse race has a horse named "Lucky Number Sleven", more than likely the horse's name is "Sleven Kelevra". Right? 😉😏
So we were struggling to make unique usernames even before the internet
@@whenthemoon pfffft basically yea in some cases
Potoooooooo's name happened when a stablehand was writing his name on a feed bin, and misunderstood it. The horse's owner found that amusing, and so kept the name.
The Apollo 11 astronauts had to go through like a full quarantine process, not just customs.

Five (potential) fun facts, one of which is false:
1. The term "portmanteau," meaning a single word that is a combination of two words, was coined by Lewis Carroll in Through the Looking-Glass.
2. Hitler, Stalin, Tito, Trotsky, and Freud all lived in Vienna simultaneously.
3. Bananas don't actually emit an exceptional amount of radiation.
4. Justin Bailey was intended to be a character in the NES Metroid, aiding Samus, however they were scrapped due to hardware limitations.
5. An actual corpse, mistaken for a wax figure, was used in an amusement park's haunted house as a prop of a hanged man. They found this out when the arm broke off.
Fun fact: only one person has ever won the Congressional Medal of Honor for valor in combat without ever firing a gun. Conscientious objector and combat medic Desmond Doss received the Medal of Honor in 1945 for saving the lives of 75 men on the slopes of Okinawa. His commanding officer credited him for saving a hundred men, but Doss thought it couldn't be more than fifty, so they split the difference and wrote seventy-five on the official report.
My favorite fun fact that I'm sure others have heard is how there's a town in Nebraska called Monowi, and the only resident is this sweet elderly woman named Elsie. She's like the mayor, bartender, tax collector, librarian, just everything. The only reason it still exists is because she still files the necessary paperwork each year and I think it's so adorable lol. @brandismyname
*insert Johnny Sins joke here
DAMN IT NOW I WANNA GO TO NEBRASKA
Fun fact: when the guillotine was first introduced, onlookers were disappointed by the lack of blood and general mess, calling it less showy and interesting. The last (legal, I imagine) use of the guillotine was the same year star wars was released!
Not so fun fact: it was invented to be a more humane method of killing people - as the usual axe (or sword if you were noble) often took several swings before the person's head came off/they expired. It's one of the reasons many nations like England typically opted for hanging as it's harder to get wrong while doing basically the same thing.
Fun fact: Elephants aren’t actually afraid of mice. Mice are so small, so the elephants can’t see them coming. It’s like being jumpscared.
Another fun fact: Elephants release Dopamine when they see humans, which is the same thing humans release when they see puppies. That means elephants think we are cute as puppies 😊
I am a cousin to Willie Nelson and I am happy to hear that he doesn’t make 9/10 babies cry, I wouldn’t know, I don’t think I have ever met him, the guy stays away from family events for some reason, but he is a cousin to me on my mother’s side
your editor is amazing and makes this video great!
Fun Fact: Pringles man's children bought the pringles can from a pharmacy on their way to his funeral, even having a small discussion as to what flavor (eventually deciding Original was the only appropriate way to go).
@@mixedplatecait that part was in the video already. Its why i left it out
Fun fact: In Japanese, there is no "L" sound, and thus Luigi from Super Mario Bros. Is called Ruiji, the Japanese word for similar. Even more interesting is that Waluigi is called Waruiji, with waru being the japanese word for evil, thus he is "evil similar"
Great fact. Daniel loves a Mario fact. What's your insta? :)
@@leighjoelscott First of all that's an odd and kinda creepy thing to ask a stranger, second I don't have one
@@brawlman644 I’m… Leigh. I’m in charge of giving out the gift cards… I’m in the video. And the description says to include your insta so you can get the gift card code! :)
Partially wrong. In Japanese there is no r sound either. Just that the sound is between l and r is more often translated to r.
To be further technical, the sound isn't plain like how we do l or r. It is always paired like such: ra, re, ri, ro, ru, rya, ryo, Ryu. Some Japanese are getting better about recognizing the original weird and will swap the r for l where it should be applied (some translation companies, even if English native, still get it wrong, like in Hellsing you will find Arucard instead of Alucard) but still get other but wrong, but could be on purpose like in to-love-ru, pronounced as trouble, or for the Japanese that can't quite get English sounds right toraburu. It is also why rori is more often spelt Loli, because the word came from Lolita, after the book Lolita.
Due to lack of a plain l or r sound, if the sound ends with l, it often will have ru, or if there is a hard or stand alone r it is a. That is how we got za waarudo.
@@leighjoelscott Oh, well if I had one I would’ve included it. Tbh I forgot there was even a gift card factor and just put this here for fun
"oh, my turn" (make that 4 times my neighbors will hate me HAHAAAA. seriously, closing the window now 😂)

Fun fact: in the lord of the rings extended edition during bilbo's birthday scenes, the cake prop they used caught fire during the scene, the actors didn't stop and it made the final cut. You can see people panicking in the background because of a fire.
Another fun fact, one of the landscape scenes in lord of the rings is actually just a picture of a painting.
Last lord of the rings fun fact: the hobbits are actually a tribe of people in New Zealand that the director thought fit the hobbits the best, so he hired them
Fun fact: it is physically impossible to not love this guy
Just the fact that you’re a Florida man, but not generally unhinged like *gestures to Moist Crit1kal, Arin Hanson and a thousand “Florida Man” newsreports* has re-poisoned my mind.
