Fun Facts
Written by Silverwing.
Yes, it's the fun facts; most of them are right from my brain, others are ones that I just bumped into. Please, do NOT steal any of these for your Fun Facts, Cool Facts, Did you know that?, whatever page. I mean, it's okay if you also knew some of these and put them on your site, as long as it isn't glaringly obvious that you copy/pasted the facts from my website onto yours.
