"Hola Bitches,
'Big Dummy' is routinely one of our collective favorite things we do on this show. I mean, what's not to like? It's just trivia. After doing it for years and years and having asked thousands upon thousands of questions, turns out that I've learned some stuff along the way. I haven't actually learned anything USEFUL, but in researching the questions, I've definitely stumbled upon some interesting facts.
For example: Scientists believe it rains diamonds on Saturn and Jupiter. Doesn't matter, but it does beg the question; WHY are diamonds so expensive?
A cloud can weigh over a million pounds. Makes sense, but I find it crazy that something that weighs that much can float effortlessly overhead. And living in Seattle, you gotta wonder how many millions of pounds are floating overhead at any given time.
If you tickle a rat, it will let out tiny giggles (although they’re too high-pitched for humans to hear). Rats are ticklish. Rats laugh.
A shrimp’s heart is in its head. There are times that I FEEL like my heart is in my head and I call those moments 'hangovers'.
Wombats produce cube-shaped droppings that resemble a freshly baked loaf of bread. Doesn't do a lot to make me wanna eat bread, but seriously, how cool is cube-shaped poop? If I could do that I would never flush. I'd want people to marvel at my square turds. Sounds childish, but wouldn't you wanna share that?
The average moderately active person will take enough steps in their lifetime to walk around the entire Earth five times. And yet, we'll circle a parking lot 10 times so we don't have to walk an additional 20 feet to a store entrance.
There are more than one million ants for every human on Earth. And all of these ants live in my home.
The sun is more than 100 times wider than the Earth. Not unlike the girl who asked me to senior prom.
Human teeth aren’t as sharp as shark teeth, but they are as strong. This does nothing to make feel confident should I encounter a shark.
Anatidaephobia is “the fear that somewhere, somehow, a duck is watching you.” This, frankly, is stupid. Peking duck or... PEEKING duck?
I could go on and on with this. There is no shortage of wholly unimportant facts that are, sadly, way more interesting than the stuff we 'NEED' to know. What do YOU know?
Until next time, STAY BEAUTIFUL!"
