302. Swifts (birds) can stay airborne for 3 years. They eat, sleep, mate in the air. About the only time they land is to lay an egg.

243 is wrong as well. While there are regulations on golf balls, and they are different in America and the UK (we follow the USGA they follow the R&A otherwise known as the Royal and Ancient), there isn't a certain number of dimples. There is a certain size (1.68") and weight (1.62 oz). I'm not sure off the top of my head what the R&A stipulates.

Titleist alone makes at least 5 different balls with 5 different dimple counts. All are legal.

Perhaps coincidentally, that's what makes them facts.

#225 The life cycle of the dragonfly from egg to death of adult, varies from six months to as much as six or seven years. Female dragonflies lay eggs in or near water, often in or on floating or emergent plants. Most of the life cycle is spent in the larval (naiad, aka nymph) form, beneath the water surface, using internal gills to breathe, and catching other invertebrates or even vertebrates such as tadpoles and fish. In the adult (flying) stage, larger species of dragonfly can live as long as four months.
