About the Frankenstein thing:

"Knowledge is knowing that Frankenstein is not the monster. Wisdom is knowing that Frankenstein is the monster." -- a thing I saw on tumblr that I found mind-blowing and true.

Fun fact:
Your stomach has to produce a new layer of mucus every two weeks or it will digest itself.

[JackHails]

Knowledge is knowing Frankenstein is the doctor. Wisdom is knowing Frankenstein is the monster.

I suddenly feel really bad for Claudette Colvin. She had a shot at being a household name, but no. Her age wasn't suitable for the civil rights leaders. They were ageists, that what they were. (it's a real thing btw...)

[bryceflanigan]

I love how the comment section always turns into a space for people to lowkey brag about how "smart" they are.

Am I the only one who will forget this two hours later?

Oh geez, I remember when I was younger my friend telling me "Did you know that blood is blue? It only turns red when it touches the air!" That along with Daddy-Long Legs spiders to be the most dangerous spiders in the world except they can't get their mouths open and that my height was abnormal for my age when she was one of the shortest people in our class...I don't know where she got these things XD

[Zachdoesntsleep]

Stupid that kids are forced to do the pledge with the phrase "under god" in it, even if they aren't religious

The arrow points to which side the fuel door is on, not the gas tank.

[linaaanah]

when I read the blood part, I was like "uhhhh.. no shit honey!" and I thought it's "blue" inside our body because of our veins?

"Facts You *Should* Know But Probably Don't."
So that's saying I "should" know the second fact, the "Under God" thing, but I'm Canadian, not American. This should be titled something more like this; "Facts *Americans* Should Know But Probably Don't."
