There are more cells of bacteria in your body than there are human cells.

There are allegedly more atoms in a spoon of water than there are spoons of water in the entire oceans.

The "neighboring" stars in a given constellation are actually nowhere near each other. For example, the closest star in the Orion constellation is 240 light years away, and the farthest is more than 1,300 light years away.
Meaning, if anything *we* should be in the same constellation with that closest star.

The three notes in the NBC jingle are G, E, and C. Not related to General Electric Company (GEC) that owned NBC for over 20 years.

Well, unless my math is off.

Which is quite possible. I was an English major.

It is apparently just a massive coincidence that IBM computers are just one letter more alphabetically than HAL in 2001.

This blows my mind then I think about it for a minute and remember how many disks, I received in the mail in the 90's.

At one point in the 1990s, 50% of all CDs produced worldwide were for AOL.

I think it would count as reincarnation, as the universe is only 13 billion years old.

Then again, the universe might just be one big episode of TNG's "Cause and Effect"!
Now that would be something to blow your mind for sure.

EDIT: Oh crap, you said seconds!

I still like my idea though.

Hmm. There's a lot of sites saying that it's an urban myth. E.g. https://www.jaalits.com/why-psalm-118-8-is-not-the-middle-verse-of-the-bible.html

I actually just read a bit about the chapter numberings on Wikipedia, interesting. That whole center-verse idea is very specific to Protestant versions though, it's not universal to all Bibles. The Catholic one has 7 more books, so its center is somewhere completely different.

Cool Chris · « **Reply #103 on:** June 15, 2015, 08:57:47 PM »

So you are saying there are... multiple versions... of the book that was written by god?

Now that blows my mind.

Just realized that was probably unnecessary... so:

Andre the Giant once drank 127 beers and passed out in the hotel lobby. Since none of the hotel staffers could carry the Andre, they draped a piano cover over him and let him sleep in the lobby. It also took Andre almost two bottles of vodka in order to get a buzz. This information would eventually come handy when Andre went in for back surgery. WWE Chairman Vince McMahon recalls the anesthesiologist did not know how much morphine to administer Andre. So he calculated the amount based on the bottles of vodka it took to give Andre a buzz.
