On August 13, 1903, police entered the Liverpool home of William and Emily Shortis. Worried friends had contacted the authorities because the couple had not been seen for several days. There they found William near death, pinned under the dead body of his 224-pound wife. 😳

The longest recorded chess game ever was 269 moves. It was played in 1989 in Belgrade.

The longest dump ever verified was produced by an American, who produced a 'staggering turd' over a period of 2 hr 12 mins which was officially measured at 12 ft 2 in. The offender is banned from 134 washrooms in his state.

The common belief that carrots are good for your eyes isn't entirely true. (Well, it is, but it wasn't really known when they saying was started).Well During WW2, I believe that's the right war, the US government wanted to keep their secrets to their flight technology secret, so the Germans wouldn't be able to match them, so they started circulating the rumor that their pilots were gaining an edge by eating carrots.

Spinach is better.
