Some Things I Found Out Today

If you toss a coin in the air, it is actually more likely to land on tails (i.e. tails side up). This is because the heads side is heavier (albeit slightly, due to the raised material usually used to make the Presidents’ head), so it ends up on the bottom slightly more often (perhaps this is why professional athletes as well as others tend to choose tails on occassions when a coin flip is necessary - perhaps something to keep in mind this coming Sunday).

In Iceland, Domino’s Pizza once had reindeer sausage pie on the menu (and yes, reportedly reindeer does taste like chicken, only chewier).

Osmium is the heaviest metal on Earth (that we know of).

A typical wink is one-fortieth of a second.

The mackerel must swim constantly to live (upon learning this I decided that the mackerel might very well be the most tragic animal that I know of, and that if reincarnation exists people who come back as mackerels probably had sloth as their sin in a previous life).

Here is a picture of two dead mackerels (I’m not sure if they stopped swimming or if someone just caught them).

I also found out that membership at my gym has increased by 22% since the beginning of the year (I suppose this is good for the people who own my gym - however I’m hoping that the new years resolution exercise folk go back to being lazy soon, cause trying to find a parking spot in the lot is getting ridiculous - although they are expanding the lot, and I was told that the expansion should be completed within the next month and a half - which is probably around when people will stop showing up every day to the gym)
