-Some people think that Lorde is actually a middle aged, male, geologist.

Outside of South Park, does anyone actually believe that?

Felt like doing another one after all that hullabaloo.
Corium is the molten remnants of nuclear waste after melt down, containing nuclear fuel, control rods, fission materials, slag and glass. It is the most radioactive substance in the world. There is still likely Corium pooled at the bottom of Fukushima's reactor, but the most famous example is the Corium in Chernobyl nicknamed the elephants foot. 31 years later it is still molten in places and burning into the ground, with lethal levels of radiation.

Finnish, Estonian, and Hungarian are Uralic languages, stemming from those that developed around the Ural mountains in Russia, rather than Indo-European roots of most European languages.

Many fish are capable of changing sex. If Finding Nemo would have been accurate, Marlin would have changed from male to female to care for Nemo's egg. Nemo would have been a sexless hermaphrodite until he became older.

Nemo is a male still as all juvenile clown fish of his type are. His dad is definitely female, but just because he is female doesn't mean he can't call him dad. After all, sex and gender are not necessarily the same.

There are actually straight people who are more gay than us gay people

I just found out conversate is not a word. It's converse.

Only about 16 to 17% of people are 100% straight, almost everyone is gay to some extent.

Google the Kinsey scale.

Yeah. Sexuality runs on a sliding scale rather than black and white. I'm 100 percent lesbian because I have a full sexual, mental, and spiritual attraction to woman; but, because I am human, my body does react to extent to men. But beyond that, it's like a one second feeling and goes like a flash.

I guess another unknown "fact" is the dictionary defined marriage as between man and woman in the early 1990s. During the DOMA act, it changed to say union. Now you have a few that actually say marriage between man and woman like that of a traditional one.

We're improvin'

Thomas Edison got most of the fame for the lightbulb, but it was actually his African American assistant / partner / draftsman ,Lewis Howard Latimer , who perfected the filament in the bulbs so that they lasted

Edison's original filament burnt out in just a few days

He also improved almost every component and step in light bulb production: a threaded socket; the oven, chemicals, and glassblowing equipment; a new switch. He oversaw installation of public lighting systems in New York, Philadelphia, Montreal, and London.
