21 Fun Facts That Seem Fake but Aren’t

zachnading Published 04/27/2022 in ftw

Fun facts that we thought were fake.

Had Snopes not confirmed these, we never would've thought that they were real. But we've collected some of the most fascinating facts and pictures that the internet has to offer.

For example, did you know that Teddy Roosevelt attended Abe Lincoln's funeral? How about that fly larvae could infest your eye balls? Or that dead bodies can actually still get goosebumps?

Okay so those are all kind of macabre, but we've got some other random fun sh*t sprinkled in there as well. If nothing else, hopefully this gallery helps you absolutely destroy your opponents at the next bar trivia night that you attend. You're very welcome.
