I have literally NOTHING to write about, so I'm going to write an assorted list of facts I know that you probably don't care about.

  1. Mermaids aren't real, but Animal Planet made this special mockumentary about them and they released a sequel last Sunday. Everyone's freaking out about it for some reason. Anyway, Paul McCartney is real, and I think that by itself is pretty amazing. 
  2. In Japan in 1986, there was this one Kleenex commercial that was said to be evil because the actors in it died or had misfortune during or after its filming. That was said to be due to this baby who was dressed sort of like an ogre. Also, even though it was in English, people complained that the background music sounded like German swearing.
  3. Keith Moon died... in the exact same room that Mama Cass Elliot died, at the same age, 4 years later. 
  4. Mermaids still aren't real.
  5. We're dissecting a squid in Science today... and get this. We're going to make it into calamari after we dissect it. We're going to cut it open, fry it, and eat it in 42 minutes with our own hands. I love the human race.
  6. Chocolate releases special endorphins in your brain that make you happy. So people who don't like chocolate probably have brain chemical deficiencies or something.
  7. Avocados do the same thing.
  8. Napoleon Bonaparte was not actually 5'2, or 5'4, or whatever. When he died, his skeleton measured roughly 1.69 meters or 5'7, about average for a Frenchman of the time. His title "Le Petit Corporal" was a term of affection.
  9. Everybody dies. Except Ian McKellen. And Keith Richards.
  10. I'll never understand the human pathological attachment to the number 10.
