Abner Doubleday did NOT invent baseball. That was made up by the author of a "Sports History" book commissioned by Spalding.

RSXworld where I found this, but you want incredible facts so here they are........


Booth ran from the theater and was caught in a warehouse.
Oswald ran from a warehouse and was caught in a theater.

Booth and Oswald were assassinated before their trials.

Booth escaped from the theater, and when the authorities caught up with him he was in a barn. The authorities burned the barn to the ground, supposedly with him in it, but no body was ever found, and he may have escaped. Who knows?

(While we're on the topic, did anyone know that he shares my birthday, May 10th?)

Apparently, 1 in 5 people in the world are Chinese. And there are 5 people in my family, so it must be one of them. It's either my mum or my dad. Or my older brother Colin. Or my younger brother Ho-Cha-Chu.

But I think it's Colin.

Did u know that the sole function of the appendix is so that the digestive system can still function when crouched on all fours. Useless for humans but great for monkeys and animals alike.
