More accurately, their heads got cut off and stuffed with snakes.

It's not so much that electrons can be in the same place at once because they're so fast, but because of some more advanced quantum physics.  Their wave-like nature, if I remember correctly, but it's been some time.

Re: Fun Facts!!!!

I knew alot of these, the funniest is the Donald Duck one.

Susan was the first female antagonist in Regular Show.
Nevada means "snow covered" in Spanish, even though there are deserts in Nevada.
The whole entire reason the Regular Show episode "Brain Eraser" was made to see if it got past Cartoon Network.

Sorry, i'm a RS nerd.

"their heads got cut off and stuffed with snakes"-How lovely, I think I like "they got sacrificed to the gods" better- just because of the nonviolent part!
