Title says it all, just post whatever it is.

I'll post later but it can be anything, such as the lyrics to Mottoke Sailor Fuku (although that's not odd IMO, especially when you memorise songs fast ;D).

 
if a human being runs faster than 23 miles an hour he'd rip his muscles from his bones.

 
Metro Atlanta is a thriving high tech business community with more fiber optic cable than any other city in the United States.

 
here's an odd fact, i do not like pork, it tastes disgusting to me.

 
There's a specific pressure point on your thigh where if pressed it can make you empty your bladder.

 
if you're covered in wax up to say your shoulders you'll die form asphyxiation, apparently there's (a) point(s) on your lower back that if covered you cannot breathe.

 
Koach2 can put a f***ing lead ball in your face 500 yards away with his Short Land Pattern Brown Bess Flintlock Musket.

 
The oddest... That's going to be hard to figure out...

The oddest fact/thing I can think of at this time is: Light from a lightbulb is just a waveform, while light from our sun is a combination of waveform and particle.

 
There is no absolute consensus in the international community about where Earth's atmosphere ends and Space begins. The US Government deems people astronauts who venture higher in altitude than 50 miles (80km), NASA for mission logistics designates it at 76 miles (122km) and the French Space Administration maintains it at exactly 100km from sea level (62 miles).

 
That you can only see as far into the universe as the universe has existed?

Actually that may not be right... I can't remember. Oh I guess that would be if... No wait. Well anyways It has something to do with light.

The longer you keep a camera pointed at the night sky, the more of the universe you'll see?

When you look into the sky at night you see thousands if not millions of years in the past.

 
Yeah that's kinda what I was trying to say. You can only see to a certain point in the universe and that point would be when the universe was formed. As time passes that point will get farther away from us as more light reaches Earth.

 
Hubble's Ultra Deep Field is one of the best references there is of the oldest parts of the universe.

(Small excerpt from the image)

The faint specking in the dark beyond the near galaxies are our farthest glances into the universal horizon, somewhere around 10-15 billion lightyears away, and consequently, 10-15 billion years old.
