At a glance, the Celsius scale makes more sense than the Fahrenheit scale for temperature measuring. But its creator, Anders Celsius, was an oddball scientist.

No one dared point this out to him, so fellow scientists waited until Celsius died to change the scale.

Since a full moon on the winter solstice occurred in conjunction with a lunar perigee (point in the moon's orbit that is closest to Earth), the moon appeared about 14% larger than it does at apogee (the point in it's elliptical orbit that is farthest from the Earth). Since the Earth is also several million miles closer to the sun at that time of the year than in the summer, sunlight striking the moon was about 7% stronger making it brighter. Also, this was the closest perigee of the Moon of the year since the moon's orbit is constantly deforming.

Thats because of the roads....if you streached the roads out one road is longer.

OK, finally got through the list. Things I noticed. At least 57 of these "facts" were listed twice. One I noticed was listed 3 times. One made no sense. 2 of the "facts" contradicted each other. And at least two were utter bull***t (other than the ones noted as being proved by mythbusters"

It still made fun reading.
