I hate housework! You make the beds, you do the dishes – and six months later you have to start all over again.

Top 100 Fun Facts | 61-80 | So Amazing!
62.
When Vin Diesel was 7, he broke into a theatre with his friends, intending to vandalize it. They were stopped by a woman who, instead of calling the cops, gave them each a role and 20 USD on condition they come for rehearsals after school. That was the unusual start to Vin’s successful acting career.
63.

64.

Her dress size is better kept hushed, but it is approximated that the dress she is wearing would use around 4,000 square yards (3,344 m2) of fabric.
65.

66.

67.
Meet Neil Harbisson – cyborg artist. He had a special antenna implanted in his head which allows him to hear colour and see sound, connect to the internet, Bluetooth and nearby electronic devices.
68.
When you’re French-kissing, it’s not just you finding a soul-mate – your mouth bacteria are expanding their social circle quite dramatically, too. A 10-second French kiss spreads around 80 million bacteria between the two kissers.
69.
If you stretched out all the DNA helixes in the cells of your body – there are about 10 trillion cells on average so you might need a while – you’d get a string 744 million miles long, meaning it would reach to the Moon and back nearly 1500 times – or 4 times to the Sun and back again.
70.

72.

73.
Mark Spitz a.k.a. Mark the Shark, Olympic champion swimmer, was famed for his large mustache in an era when every swimmer was shaving everything to become more hydrodynamic. He once jokingly said to the Russian team coach that his mustache helps him swim faster by deflecting water from his mouth and making him more bullet-shaped. The following year, a mustache was worn by every member of the (male) Russian team.
74.
In 1997, Steve Jobs managed to persuade the board of directors of Apple to fire previous CEO Gil Amelio and appoint Jobs the new CEO as a consequence of Apple’s very bad results. These bad results were partially caused by an anonymous sale of 1.5 million shares. It was later revealed that the anonymous seller was Jobs himself.
75.

78.

80.

Good morning everyboomie.
Here I sit all broken hearted, engaged my brain, but it still ain't started.
How is everyone doing this morning?
I am feeling very old. I should not have gone to the sod farm. My back is really letting me know how unhappy it is about that trip.
I did find one little broken point. Woo Hoo!
Now I'm back to crawling around and nursing my poor little achy back. The big sissy.
I think I'll give it some chocolate chip cookies and milk tonight. Maybe that'll make it feel better.
Have a happy day everyone.
