Odd Facts (quote, history, 1990, Inci)

I was doing my random fact reading as usual, learning more useless fact that are cool to know and I ran across Charles Osborne. He holds the world record for long hiccup attack. For 68 years (1922'-1990') he hiccuped at a extreme rate. Apparently for most of the time it was 40 HPM then slowed to 20 HPM. Surprisingly he still worked and was married twice.

So I guess just post a random but interesting fact that caught your attention.

My favourite fact, mainly because nobody can guess the answer and also the look on their faces:

The world's youngest mother to give birth was how old? We're talking Human female, lol.

The answer:

Five years old.....that's 5

The biological aspect is less worrying than the fact that she was impregnated in the first place.

One of my fav 'fact'y things is the mobius strip.

It's like a 2 dimensional object that exists in 3 dimensional space. It only has one side, a front.

(It's actually part of the SuperString Theory called "colliding open strings.")

Most folks know about the strip, itself, BUT, try this:

"A mathematician once confided

That a mobius strip is just one sided

And you should get quite a laugh

if you'll but cut it right in half;

it's one two-sided piece when divided!"

You cut it 'lengthwise,' i guess you could say.

Oh! And any of you that decide to experiment around with that? See you sometime next week!
