For some reason, in Pokemon Red and Blue, Professor Oak's Nidorino in the opening sequence has the cry of a Nidorina.

Going by descriptions, there are 29 quintillion (2.9*10-19) unique firework stars (plus 1 if you count the blank one in creative mode) and 19 quadragintillion (1.9*10-136) unique firework rockets (plus 3 if you count ones made with blank stars), but going by their visual effects, there are only 2.1 trillion (2.1*10-12) distinct firework stars and 39 sesvigintillion (3.9*10-82) distinct firework rockets.

Soul Sand slows your movements considerably in Minecraft, and if you put blocks of ice underneath said Soul Sand, then try to walk upon it, you'll go even slower.

Most of you probably knew this, but a tomato is considered a fruit. Several years have gone by and I'm still trying to wrap my head around this one.

(Also Wade its considered a fruit because it has seeds! By this definition, pumpkin is also a fruit)

Corn seed is actually a vegetable, a grain, and a fruit.

Speaking of McDonalds, there's one in Sedona, Arizona that is the only McDonald's not to have the trademark yellow arches. Instead, the arches are teal.

during the recording of 'you know what they do to guys like us in prison' by my chemical romance, the lead singer (gerard way) stripped down to his underwear to get the feel of prison, which the song is obviously about.

Humans also share an alarming amount of their D.N.A. with both slugs and fruit flies, weirdly enough.

Disney made several propaganda shorts during WW2. One was about Donald Duck having a nightmare about working in a Nazi factory. Another was a dark, Fantasia-style short about an American eagle attacking and defeating the Japanese octopus.
Speaking of Donald Duck, his sailor suit is not just a get-up. He actually goes off to war. That's why his nephews stay with Uncle Scrooge. The US Navy literally has Donald Duck on their records.
