Interesting fact that I remembered because of a recent experience lol.

Cops don't have to read you your Miranda rights when they're arresting you. Had some dude call the office and complain about how his arrest was illegal because he wasn't read that when he was arrested, and he got super bitchy when I told him that he was mistaken. The truth is that the Miranda warning is only required some time before a suspect in custody is interrogated. So it can be as they're being arrested, but it's not like in the movies where it's always said during the arrest.

I do not think those are pool tables in that Michael Jackson picture.

There is a table game called Carom Billiards that do not use pockets.

I have seen that game before which is why I instantly knew they weren't pool tables.

Yup, Alaska is America's easternmost, westernmost, and northernmost state lol. Hawaii claims the south though :3

Also, Honolulu is the "largest" city in the world. This is because Hawaii's state constitution states that any Hawaiian island not named as belonging to a county belongs to Honolulu. This means that Honolulu is roughly 1,500 miles long

France's last official use of the guillotine was the same year Star Wars came out.

In the year Dracula is set in, it would have been possible for the titular character to wear Levi's jeans, drink Coca-Cola, and own a product made by Nintendo.

Not only did Charlie Chaplin and Adolf Hitler share a mustache style, they also shared a birth year. So did Queen Elizabeth and Marilyn Monroe.

The chicken is the closest living relative to the T-Rex.
Recent studies have now accepted that prehistoric dinosaurs have more in common with present-day birds than they do with reptiles. Research has found that their genetic makeup is shared more with chickens and ostriches rather than lizards.

Although it's true dinosaurs evolved into birds, the chicken is not the closest relative. Chickens are basically man made which means they're extremely modern evolutionarily. Pretty much every other bird would be more closely related to dinosaurs. People just say that because the juxtaposition of a chicken and T-Rex is silly.

There are some worker ants that don't actually work at all. A study collected 250 ants from 5 colonies and recorded them for a few minutes at regular intervals for 3 weeks. Roughly 25% of the ants just stood around no matter when they were being filmed. They were thought to "specialize" in inactivity, just as other ants care for the young or forage for food.

Some theories about why the ants weren't working were that it could be an age thing; they might've been too young or old. Another is that they might be doing things that don't require much movement like regurgitating food for other ants, or sending chemical signals around the nest. Or they could just be lazy bastards who are selfish. I kinda hope it's the last one because that's the funniest :3
