Actually the whole bumblebee breaking the laws of physics thing is a myth. (My friend and I got into an argument about it and I did some research)

Here is a paper about it, but it boils down to the bumblebee beating its wings faster in a wider arc, and creating an equal amount of lift throughout the stroke, instead of having the greatest amount of lift in the middle of the stroke with a shorter arc, like birds and most other insects. (90 degrees, 230 beats per second) They also create lift on the upstroke as well as the downstroke.

In the past, bedouins sometimes resorted to drinking not only their own, but also their camel's urine when there was little water. I doubt they complained about the milk.

#167 - You have to play ping-pong for 12 hours to lose one pound.
I think Forrest Gump lost waaaay more than one pound when he first learned.

#173 - Chinese is the most spoken language in the world.
I'm now ashamed- I really need to learn my native tongue.

#313 - 'O' is the oldest letter of the alphabet, dating back to 3000 B.C.
I guess I'm partial to 'O' since it's the first letter of my name.

I just learned that Snapple is Kosher. Going to a Jewish school, you pick up interesting facts.
