Random Knowledge June 3, 2025

I thought I'd share some of my many, many random facts that I know with the world. I looked it up, and people search the weirdest things online.


  • If you keep your month open and blow through one nostril at a time when you blow your nose, your ears don't get clogged up as fast.

  • Your tax refund is likely being processed. There are approximately 117.6 million other refunds being processed. That takes time. 

  • There are eight fluid ounces in a cup. I believe that also answers the question of when you'd ever need to know that sort of thing. 

  • No, the horse in Spirit Riding Free and Spirit Untamed is not the same horse from the original. You can tell the fairly obvious difference because the original Spirit doesn't have a blaze down his nose. 

  • Yes, a blaze is what you call the thick, white stripe down a horse's muzzle. 

  • There are 3.78541178 liters in a gallon.

  • The human stomach can dissolve razor blades. DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME

  • The tongue is the strongest muscle in the human body.

  • A banana is more closely related to a berry than a strawberry.

  • If you make something fun, people, especially kids, are more likely to cooperate.

Book Hangover Thoughts: The Forgotten Family

-
An open letter to: Meryl Matthews because she really made me think.  In your story, The  For gotten Family, a wealthy couple with fertility problems during the late 1800s did what many people in that situation typically do. They decided to adopt. In this case, a two-year-old girl from the slums. ( Fun Fact , that was what poorer neighborhoods were referred to at the time). Now, I know that the Bonners actually had a decent reason to give up their youngest. Not just because she was an unplanned pregnancy, which she likely was, since with Mr. Bonner having lost his job and being in dire need of an increase in their finances, another baby was the last thing needed. Neither of her birth parents had any real skill in having a family, which is why the kids basically raised themselves, and very well I may add. Queenie was only thirty months old, and very eloquent for her age, given the circumstances, and able to physically and verbally assert herself, and they made it clear th...

Petition

-
 I figured if I solved whatever problem was causing my anxiety, I'd get rid of it and I'd be helping people. It's a win-win. right? Here's a link to the petition I'm trying to circulate.  If you sign it, I'll shout you out! https://chng.it/2zZ2HWhptQ     It's not fair to only take one because it's easier. Traumatized kids separated from their siblings can end up going down the wrong path later in life or worse. I did a ton of research on this. The highlighted parts of the requirements are mine. Proposal for The Betterment of Siblings in Foster Care  This document comes not as a complaint or criticism, but as a request for upholding a simple and basic human right which for too long has been denied to children simply because it isn’t being upheld by a system designed to protect them. Over 80% of children in foster care, who after already losing their parents and homes, are separated from their siblings.  The separation of siblings in foster care has a ma...

Questions: JK Rowling

-
     Before jumping to conclusions, you should always get the full story. For example, w hile I have no problem with Transgender people, I would like to clarify something important.  JK Rowling may have posted a few tweets that sound biased against the Transgender Community, but I did some actual research on her past and it may interest you to know that Rowling’s comment primarily stands from an abusive first marriage, so of course she’d be a little touchy about people assigned male at birth taking female jobs. She worked her way up from the ground and was actually told to use her initials because boys weren’t going to read a book written by a woman.  Also, sex and gender are actually two completely different things. Sex refers to the biological difference between men and women which you’re born with. (The way babies are made is different. You’ll have to ask your parents about that, kids). Gender is actually more of an individual’s concept of themselves and th...
