What is the coolest random fact you know?

On the door to our dormrooms, the RA put up our "Name/a random fact".
Well some asshole torn mine down, and it said something like "When a tiger shark is pregnant, the baby tiger sharks will fight to the death in the womb to see who is born" so that was pretty badass.
Anyways, i'm just gonna make a new one (it helps remember who lives where) and I need ideas of epik facts.

sharks arent mammals, while tiger sharks are said to give live birth, they simply incubate the eggs internally, a 'fight' between the sharks is nothing more than normal thrashing around... your trivial fact is mostly myth since they also frequently deposit the eggs to hatch alone
shark eggs look like this
the horn shark produces some a little fancier

The French word for potato is pommes des terre, which literally means 'apple of the earth'.
A rogue Roman tribune had a bounty put on his head - the weight of his head in gold if it was brought to the Senate. His killers hollowed out his skull and filled it with molten lead. The Senate paid the full weight of his skull in cash.
Lyndon Johnson once brought George Wallace to the White House to talk about Civil Rights. In the White House transcripts, LBJ is recorded saying:
"So, why won't you let the niggers vote, George? Why are you fucking me? Why are you fucking your president?"
Sorry, I'm a massive history nerd.

damn... isnt the corkscrew egg case for the horn shark enough of an interesting fact?
When hippos are upset, their sweat turns red, often called 'blood sweat' hippos will also eat meat from any animals they kill, they're vicious they'll often abandon all but one of their young if multiples are born

that may not be accurate since some whales have a penis the size of a walrus

From google...
Doctors can now grow skin for burn victims using the foreskins of circumcised infants. One foreskin can produce 23,000 square meters, which would be enough to tarp every Major League infield with human flesh.

the coolest random fact that i know? ok here goes: in the town that i live in, there are more mentally ill people (this encompasses retards, crazys, drug addicts, schizos etc) then in the rest of Vermont, combined. that's fact, and if you walk down the main drag on a friday night, you'll thoroughly believe it.

maybe the walrus has the largest in proportion to its size? not sure, just a guess.
