  • Wow where do you find these facts act they are so weird. The law about no clocks in a casino in las vagos is so that the people don't look and time and say oh its time to go instead they keep playing not knowing the time. New York city is known as the city that never sleeps.

  • It is werid that the king doesnt have a stash because almost every other king us see does... And it does look like he is stabbing himself in the head....
  • ha i love that the princes dont travel on the same plane in case of a crash! lol thats too funny..but also sort've smart although the chances of a plane crash are quite low.
  • That's weird for the Prince thing. I guess it makes sense, but it's so sad. To not be able to travle with your brother just so either way one of you would still be alive.
  • and too think this only took like 5 mins!! there were some intersting stuff in here! i love how no one ever knows where you come up with this stuff
  • its impressive and makes sense for some of them. did you know that i cant believe its not butter?
  • well thats crazy. And i would also like to know why there aren't any clocks in casinos in Las Vegas.
  • i believe the first one haha but the card thing is crazy!! ill have to check!!
  • Wow a lot of these are really interesting. Especially the one about the princes not riding in the same plane. Its pretty smart though I guess.
  • i am now going to find all 18 animal crackers
