Weird Trivia

[The Fallen One]

Just a thread of weird trivia. Post if you know any. I'll start:

A good number of facts from this video.

(We Americans haven't been on the internet as much as I though.)

1 of 8 couples that married last year first met online.
(Love does come in all forms, perhaps.)

The number of text messages sent and receive exceed the total population of the planet.
(This may or may not come as surprising to you.)

And other cool stuff.
