- There is only one species of domestic horse, but around 400 different breeds
- North American mustangs are the descendants of horses brought by Europeans more than 400 years ago. Native North American horses became extinct 8000 yrs prior

I'll tell you a "random" fact. Random is becoming my least favorite word. It's usually followed by some teenager telling me how out there their weekend was. Raaandommmm!!!

Fact there are on average 333 squares on a roll of toilet paper

Fact if a person lives to the age of 76 they would have used 3,952 rolls of toilet paper
and it would have taken 384 trees to make the 3,952 rolls of paper.

If you screamed at the top of your lungs for 8 years, 7 months, and 6 weeks you would have produced enough sound energy to heat a cup of coffee.

Hopefully not too hot to drink.
That means you would have wasted some yelling.
And that pisses me off almost as much
as superheated coffee.

During the temperance movement of the 1890s, marijuana was commonly recommended as a substitute for alcohol.
The reason for this was that use of marijuana did not lead to domestic violence while alcohol abuse did.
