Hey guys,
Everyone's fascinated by facts, and I thought we deserve such a thread. The rule is simple: The thread is limited to only one fact per day (which begins at 6.00 am in the morning, unlike 12.00 am as in reality). However, discussions about the fact are welcome.


So, I'll start it off with a funny one:

Charlie Chaplin once won 3rd Prize in a 'Charlie Chaplin look-alike contest'.

[Rock Lee]

^Lucky Number Slevin movie has a reference to this fact. Never thought it was true, but thanks to this thread, it really is true.

I thought he was second.

I thought he was second.

I'm not entirely sure, but I checked with 3 sources which claimed that he won 3rd

Why is there a daily limit of 1?? There are so many interesting facts.

Everyone would post facts, and it might become a little cluttered like the "Your quote of the day" thread. That's what I feared for.

do you know the fact that ''Vitaly Petrov is a paying driver in formula 1 ''

Of the day? Really? Also, point is to talk about facts other might not know. We don't want facts like "sun rises from east" in this thread. Kthxbye

[devil_angel]

Fact of the day:

The Happy Birthday song that we all know very well and the whole world sings for birthdays is actually patented.

You can do the rest of the research. May the Hills rest in peace

[Udham]

OK. Now we have to state at this fact for the rest of the day?

[devil_angel]

Okay, I guess it would be better if the rule can be changed to one fact per person, per day. What do you guys think?

[Rock Lee]

Yeah, my fact: 12+1=11+2, but if you write "twelve plus one," and rearrange the letters, "twelve plus one=eleven plus two!"

FACT: This thread will be tumbleweed central in a week.

That's not a fact; that's an anagram, beech

No, that's a plausible case, but not a fact yet. Not enough evidence.

You didnt have to look that far to the right. The beginning would suffice.

Well, if movie discussion, mobile phone thread and others can work, I don't see a reason why thread about facts won't work on a gaming forum? I mean yes, chances are pretty high, but it is still not a fact. Most probable and the actual result might be different.

And he still f**ked half the world.

Simply brilliant
I wonder what sort of rig they used to render all that, must've been one heck of a job. Kudos to everyone including the American Museum of Natural History.
