That's great, I'll add it to my list of useful facts.

Here's another one: 1600, 2000, 2400 are leap years. 1700, 1800, 1900, 2100, 2200, 2300 are not leap years.
and another: September 1752 in the US, Canada and England had only 19 days. Other parts of the world switched in other years.

And one that I remember from MAD Magazine in 1961. It is the last "upside down year" for a long, long, time.

Marilyn Monroe: Born 1926 Died 1962

William Holden: Born 1918 Died 1981

I tried to make a palindrome out of those, but "strange" is the best I could come up with.

That would make someone into numerology do backflips!

I have now tried multiple times to sneeze with my eyes open. The results fall into three categories.

- I forget to try to keep them open, and I sneeze normally.

- I try to force my eyes open, and the sneeze goes away.

- I try to force my eyes open, but I close them anyway.

I might have to throw in the towel on this one.

FLAMMABLE and INFLAMMABLE are synonyms and mean exactly the same thing

82.4% of all "facts" are simply made up. :)
