This thread is where you can post all those random facts you hear about everyday. There is to be none of that Random Facts About Vin Diesel stuff, It has its own website. The Rules are:

1.Every Reply must have a Random Fact e.g. "Oh my god that is so Weird! Did you know that the Soviet Union's reason for invading Afghanistan was to acquire a port in the Indian occean for the USSR Navy. Surprising as Afghanistan is a landlocked nation."


2.If the validity of a fact is being challenged, then either side must produce sufficient evidence and the source of the evidence to prove their case.

"There have been four cases of this happening thus far. In 1824, John Quincy Adams was awarded the presidency by the House of Representatives, despite not having won the popular vote or the electoral college vote (neither he nor opponent Andrew Jackson had an electoral college majority). In 1876, Rutherford B. Hayes became President despite losing the popular vote to Samuel J. Tilden, because Hayes had a one vote advantage in the electoral college. In 1888, in a much more clear-cut example of a candidate losing the popular vote but winning the electoral college vote, Benjamin Harrison was elected President over Grover Cleveland. Finally, in 2000, George W. Bush became president after losing the popular vote to Al Gore, but winning the electoral vote."
