About 30-some years ago I borrowed a book of facts from the library, and the two I remember are:

  • There are 336 dimples on a regulation golf ball.
  • Pound for pound, grasshoppers are 3x as nutritious as steak.

I have no idea if they’re true, but they’re burned into my brain.

If I was able to remember them on cue I would probably be a lot more interesting of a person.

The topic has to seed first and then all of the information I know about it rushes in.

Reverendender,

Platypuses hunt underwater using bioelectric sensors in their bills. Also, you cannot beat the final boss in X-Men for Sega Gamegear unless you are using Iceman.
