291) If you take any number, double it, add 10, divide by 2, and subtract your original number, the answer will always be 5.

37) The microwave was invented after a researcher walked by a radar tube and a chocolate bar melted in his pocket.

Anyone who believes everything on this list is uncritical.

Anyone who says they know everything on this list, or that none of it is interesting, is also full of shit.
