6. Love can exert the same stress on your body as deep fear. (Pupil dilation, sweaty palms, and increased heart rate.)
7. James Huberty called a mental health clinic, asking for an appointment. His politeness conveyed no urgency to the operator and his call was logged as a "Non-crisis" inquiry, to be handled within 2 days. The next day he committed of the worst killing sprees in America.
8. Sharks can detect one part of blood in 100 million parts of water.
9. The US has more empty houses than homeless people.

14. Cheerleading accounts for 65% of women's sports injuries.

16. Every time a disaster strikes on Spongebob Squarepants, the same voice yells "My leg!"
17. 40% of people who are rejected in a romantic relationship slip into clinical depression.
18. Music not only changes our mood, but it also changes the way we think and or perception of the world.
19. Love actually has nothing to do with your heart--It's all chemical reactions that take place inside of your brain.
20. Russia didn't recognize beer as alcohol until 2011. It was just a 'soft drink' until then.
21. Italy didn't have tomatoes until 1548, which is why traditional Italian food doesn't use tomatoes.
22. Drinking too much water can cause water intoxication.
23. When playing an American character, Christian Bale will give all his interviews in an American accent, so he doesn't confuse the audience.
24. The mayor of Key west, FL declared war against the US, surrendered after one minute, then applied for one billion dollars in foreign aid.
