My friend Laurel and I eat breakfast together every Monday, Wednesday and Friday... We always come up with weird questions, or statements, or facts... So I thought it'd be fun to find an internet site with fun facts, and I chose 20 of them:

5.)40% of McDonald's profits come from the sales of Happy Meals.
6.)The Main Library at Indiana University sinks over an inch every year because when it was built, engineers failed to take into account the weight of all the books that would occupy the building.

I love the fact that Donkeys kill more people than airplanes do. It makes sense if you think about it. I mean, their has to be more people in the world that use donkeys compared to airplanes!
I really like number 6. It seems like common sense only after you read it.
I wonder what they'll do to fix it...
Birds don't have saliva and they can not burp. So please refrain from feeding bird soda or any kind of carbonation. Their little tummies will explode!
Ugh. gross.. whose job was it to figure out a rat can't barf, and exactly how do you go about testing that?
Oh, and who saw a crab one day and said "I'm gonna crack that sucker open and see what it tastes like."
I could go on for days.
