I need TRUE random facts for my short story. So it be great if you guys could give me some interesting random facts.

Example:
Laugh tracks that are used in tv shows toaday were first recorded in the early 50s meaning that when you laugh along with your tv today you are laughing with dead people.

P.S. Yes its a true.

If you throw a cat from a third storey window, you'll probably kill it, but if you throw one from a ninth storey window it'll survive. It takes a certain amount of time for the cat to realise what's happening, and turn around to hand on it's feet.

In the 18th and 19th centuries people used to be buried alive. So much so that they designed coffins with bells inside so the person with the misfortune of having been buried alive could ring the bell and be dug up.

There is a disease out there called Catalepsy that imitates death but the person is still alive just sleeping very deeply as to appear dead.

Stevie Wonder was so dedicated to his craft that he used to play all the instruments and even sing all the vocals for his songs.

Finally a place where I can share the useless information knocking around in my brain.

i wish it were true, but my beloved youngest daughter's beloved cat went out her ninth floor window and definitely did NOT live!

Another random point: "The Fall of the House of Usher" by Edgar Allen Poe (If I remember the title rightly) contained a character with that disease. Disturbing story.

I visited Edgar Allen Poe's grave. It's right by the University of Maryland in Baltimore. Very interesting place. I like his stories even if they are dark and disturbing. I wonder what that says about me?
