This should be interesting... Not only will you be looking for or know a strange fact already but other will be learning. I think this will be fun. I'll start (No, duh!)

The Monalisa has no eyebrows. It was the fashion in the Renaissance Florence to shave them off.

Paul McCartney (one of the best songwriters of all time) can't read music. He also plays a right handed guitar upside down instead of a lefty guitar.

There are large difficult-to-see shapes on the surface of Mars called "Gumboids" The person who named them was a fan of Gumby and Pokey...

A pig's penis is corkscrew shaped like its tale. The pig vagina is also corkscrew shaped to ensure impregnation during innnercourse. My brother told me that (he graduated with a degree in agri science from MSU).

A Jiffy is a real measurement of time...
In electronics, a jiffy is the time between alternating current power cycles (1/60 or 1/50 of a second)

In astrophysics and quantum physics a jiffy is, as defined by Edward R. Harrison,[4] the time it takes for light to travel one fermi (the size of a nucleon). One fermi is 10−15 m, so a jiffy is about 3 × 10−29 seconds.

It took me about 10 trillion jiffies to post this message. :halfgrinw
