Ah, yes.

It was GlaDOS2, who if I remember correctly, made a big fuss about not telling anyone her old account briefly after a member that was obsessed with Portal became inactive!

Re: Trivia/Did you know?

Canberra was selected as the capital of Australia because Sydney and Melbourne could not stop arguing which city should be the capital of Australia.

Re: Trivia/Did you know?

Washington D.C. is the capital of America because we didn't expect to have two places named Washington at the time.

Re: Trivia/Did you know?

If you toss a penny 10000 times, it will not be heads 5000 times, but more like 4950. The heads picture weighs more, so it ends up on the bottom.

By raising your legs slowly and lying on your back, you cannot sink into quicksand.

Chewing gum while peeling onions will keep you from crying.

The number of possible ways of playing the first four moves per side in a game of chess is 318,979,564,000.

The Guinness Book of Records holds the record for being the book most often stolen from public libraries.

People say 'Bless you' when you sneeze because your heart stops for a millisecond.

Re: Trivia/Did you know?

Bosnia and Herzegovina has two names for a country because it was after one of the World Wars (not sure which), and they didn't want to have another war over a name, or break up their country. (Correct me if I'm wrong)

Claudette Colvin was a fifteen year old girl who refused to give up her bus seat to a white woman. 9 months before Rosa Parks and the Montgomery Bus Boycott.

Rhydon was the first Pokemon designed - which is why it appears on statues throughout the series.

yeah i heard you say bless you because it was a sign of the black death and so people wanted to wish you a quick and speedy return/arrival to heaven

yeah rosa parks was chosen because she was a respectable and well known woman around montgomery, or at least the black community of montgomery

take all of this with a grain of salt though

Re: Trivia/Did you know?

The brain can never stop learning

The brain ignores 99% of the information sent to it. Sort of like a sister trying to ignore you once you accidentally annoy her.

Nope. It ignores stuff sent to it doesn't mean it can't come back to it again. And it ignores sensory detail from the body. So we don't have colors popping out at us and smelling hot dogs every time we think.
