caught my eye. In it, they asked,"What’s a fact that sounds fake, but is actually true?" People listed so many fun facts, I just had to share. Here are some of the most interesting:once awarded to a doctor who deliberately infected syphilis patients with malaria .
Syphilis was untreatable at the time, but it was known that a high fever early enough in infection could kill it. Malaria would bring one. While also incurable, the patient could treat the Malaria with quinine and live a comfortable life. This treatment would become a curiosity in a decade or so, after the discovery of penicillin, a much less invasive cure for syphilis."she went to work while in labor and took a problem printout to the hospitalblue whale is the largest creature to have ever existed."If someone saved $8,000 every day for 245,000 years, he still wouldn't be as rich as Elon Musk right now.", and therefore recycled without any loss of quality. Which means, depending on the historic copper trade within your country, there is a minute possibility that your home electrics or plumbing contain the exact same copper that And finally:"If you have held a properly shuffled deck of cards, it is likely that nobody has ever or will ever hold a deck of cards in that order."Every time you shuffle a deck of cards, the chances are that exact order has never existed before in the history of the universe. The number of possible shuffles is 52 factorial — that’s an 8 followed by 67 zeros. To picture it, imagine setting a cosmic stopwatch to 52 factorial seconds and pressing start. Then begin walking around the Earth, but take one step every billion years. When you finally complete the lap, remove a single drop from the Pacific Ocean. Do it again and again until the ocean is empty. Then place one sheet of paper on the ground, refill the ocean, and start over. Repeat this process until the stack of paper reaches the sun, 93 million miles high. And when you’re almost done, tear it all down and repeat the entire cycle a thousand more times. And when you finally check that stopwatch, the number is so enormous it hasn’t even dropped by a single digit. To make it run out, you’d have to repeat this process not once, not a thousand times, but billions upon billions of times.Tell me what you think in the comments! Or, feel free to share some fun facts of your own. I love to hear them! If you want to write in but prefer to stay anonymous, you can use this anonymous form.
