Crazy about the cows. i guess that's why they're always in a good 😂😂

[WisdomHealthinOldAge]

Wow, this list is absolutely mind-blowing! 🤯 I had no idea the Eiffel Tower was once yellow or that rabbits can't vomit! 🐇 Also, the fact about Napoleon and the bunnies is both hilarious and bizarre. 😂 Thanks for sharing such fascinating trivia—I'll definitely check out your book for more! Keep up the great work

[margaretguillory]

7:32 gives Monty Python’s killer bunny some credence.

[Leojoo]

Why by a book, when you're way more fun to watch! 💯 👌😁👍

[dylanhimes]

7:27 really can’t help but think about that stereotype of the French always surrendering 😂

[mikenixon]

Everything worthwhile, I learned after graduating.
Real life is the best teacher. Lesson? OK, kids finish school, don't do drugs and get a skilled job. You'll be happier for it. Good report Mike et al.

[TickedOffPriest]

I learned about the ear bones, but it is always fascinating learning more about the design of the human body.

[megnotes]

Less gravity in the Hudson Bay area? Guess I’ll get weighed up there from now on. Thanks, Mike!

[jcfreakever]

Nice set of facts, Mike! Also, I noticed you're doing vids every single day now, sweet! 😃 What brought that on?

[dennisanderson]

0:52 Fun Fact: Calculation has been done, based upon the displayed "depth chart" of how much gold is in Scrooge McDuck's vault, which he dives into. Result? Scrooge McDuck has more gold stashed in that silo/vault than exists on Earth! (Might he also be interdimensional travelling get-rich-and-hoard-er? Hmmm...)

[theunspoke]

I went to the Ford museum in school back in the 80s & we learned that!! 😜😜

1:30 Rats too, one of the reasons they survive so well. 3:55 also rats.

Grissom AFB in Indiana had a bomber land hard and catch on fire. Aboard were 2 nukes. They didn't go off but released radio active material. According to my research the plane and bombs were buried on the base!

[dvongrad]

I didn't realize the gravity of the situation.

[dennisanderson]

6:03 Wait a second! In The Trouble With Tribbles opening, Spock chided Chekov's "little joke" b/c, Spock stated, "Smells cannot travel through the vacuum of space." BOOM! Is it 1) Spock is busted for picking on the Russian with a [very anti-Vulcan] lie or 2) Spock forgot this fact? *Robert Stack voice*: You decide!

[anitaburch]

Listening to all your shows, I hear a lot of reruns. Lol. ❤

[sunnyscott]

Horses can't vomit either. They can die from colic.

[michaellazor]

I tried to do a search on that longest word you mentioned and came up empty.

[dianevohwinkel]

How many sharks are you around daily compared to people!!!?

[quazstarnight]

I believe in you ! I would watch a three hour video of you saying the longest word, as long as you have some decent music behind it! lol
