250 Random Facts Everyone Should Know: A collection of random facts useful for the odd pub quiz night get-together or as conversation starters. US AU

Have you ever had that moment when you are in the middle of a conversation and suddenly the room becomes quiet and nobody knows how to move the discussion forward? Of course you do. Haven’t we all? It’s for this reason that I decided to write this book.

What better way to break that silence than to throw out some of these facts:

  • Gorillas spend up to 14 hours a day sleeping.
  • One quarter of the bones in your body are in your feet.
  • In the 1830s, ketchup was sold as medicine. And so was Coca-Cola.
  • The longest English word without a vowel is “Rhythm”.

    Thanks OP!

    Fact number 251:
    Most OzBargainers collect free Amazon books & Udemy courses and most likely won't even start them

    • boomramada on 17/05/2020 - 22:41

      I give up on Udemy few years back.

      Fact 252 If you like free amazon books & udemy courses you should just subscribe to dealbot directly on his profile page.

    • cholas on 18/05/2020 - 08:14

      Oh well… True… but still got it :)

      Thanks OP!

      98% of Udemy stuff are trash though with arguably qualified instructors. lol.

      • jelko on 18/05/2020 - 15:30

        That is correct. Use Pluralsight if you want accredited instructors and not somebody who speaks in broken English.

  • dangerdanger on 17/05/2020 - 22:32

    Thanks OP

    Rats and horses cannot vomit…

    • cheaponos on 17/05/2020 - 23:06

      Good to know. I don’t like vomit, so I’ll go live on a farm with rats and horses.

      That's why I chose them for my coat of arms. No reflux, no surrender.

    My cats breath smells like cat food.

    Is the fact that the Chief Medical Officer had the Call on imposing a Pandemic Medical Emergency (not the PM) one of the facts!?

    People who do that a loosers whom should go back too reddit.

      Oopsie, silly me, I spelt it wrong.

      That should be "the bum hole of the internet".

        As D C is the centre of the USA's political Clusterfcuk .. we can understand!

  • peterpeterpumpkin on 18/05/2020 - 00:30

    Thanks. But I don't get the utility of reinforcing facts everyone should already know in moving a stalled conversation forward.

    "Ummm…ah yes! 132. A classic. So, you should all already know this, but did you know that a heater can make a cold room feel warrrmer?! Hmmmm?!"

    The longest English word without a vowel is “Rhythm”….

    So… "Rhythms" isn't longer?

  • Elyxar on 18/05/2020 - 01:38

    Just fart really loud, everybody laughs and the conversation is renewed.

  • suburbanmale on 18/05/2020 - 05:23

    In the 1830s, ketchup was sold as medicine. And so was Coca-Cola

    Coca Cola was invented in the 1880s, so it wasn't sold as a medicine in the 1830s

    • ensanguined on 18/05/2020 - 07:14

      Hnghhhhh…

    • zeroxp on 18/05/2020 - 11:06

      Maccas must have started as pharmacy store.

    Fact #251: the author should check their facts. Must work for Rupert!

  • zeroxp on 18/05/2020 - 11:16

    Would like to see the moment after throwing one of these lines into that conversation 😆

  • et tu brute on 18/05/2020 - 15:23

    … I have to go out and haven't the time at the moment to create an individual post, but for anyone interested,
    there are a heap of AmazonClassics Editions such as Wind in the Willows, Alice in Wonderland, Peter Pan etc

    also available for free on the Amazon US Kindle website. They may be on the AU web-site, I haven't checked.

    Cheers

    EDIT:

    Just checked, there was an earlier post last month:

    https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/532546

    Titles are still available :)
