The Monte Hall problem still boggles my mind, but it's true.

Jeri Ryan, of Star Trek Voyager, very well may have changed the course of American history. She was previously married to Jack Ryan (the not Harrison Ford one), but divorced him sometime in the 90s. In 2004, Jack was running for Senator in Illinois. Despite those records being sealed in divorce court, they were unsealed during the campaign and revealed allegations that Jack was involved in some pretty kinky stuff. He was forced to drop out and the Republicans had to scramble for a last minute replacement that they knew had no chance in Alan Keyes. The Dem opponent, Barack Obama, ended up winning and ascending to national attention.

 

Sorry few more:

University of Louisiana still exists, and it's not Louisiana-Lafayette. It is older than LSU and, after the economic issues resulting from the Civil War, became an exceptionally rare major public university that went private. The school took the name of the donor who helped make that change, adding it to the front of the name, and became Tulane University of Louisiana.

 

Australia is 11x the size of Texas and 4 million more people live in Texas than Australia.

 

I've heard this. Dude was born in 1790. That might be the craziest fact ever.

 

The Pentagon has an absurd number of toilets. In fact....it has almost exactly double what you would expect for a building that size. That's because it was built in the 1940's in Virginia. They had to build separate toilet facilities for African Americans to comply with local codes.

The amount of time between the existence of Tyrannosaurus and Stegosaurus is greater than the amount of time between the extinction of Tyrannosaurus and today. By the time Tyrannosaurus appeared, Stegosaurus had already been extinct for 80 million years

Born again Christian here... as of about a month ago... it hit me like a brick wall. I am all in, and I fully expect to be persecuted for my faith.

The Bible is 100% accurate in its prophecies, yet many people deny it... for the most part because they have no desire to read a long book, but instead chose to listen to others or base their arguments on youtube videos.

Rather than argue about politics, what is going to happen because of COVID, and of course, the upcoming election, one could simply read the verses below, and realize that the answer is already out there. As long as you can discern those actually receiving God’s word from the false prophets, then you will be prepared for what is about to happen in our country for the rest of the year. Spolier alert: It doesnt get better from here. I do not have a prophetic gift, but I listen to those who do, and then I pray about it. Trust in the Lord Jesus Christ and brace yourself.
Amos 3:7
Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.

Acts 2:17
And it shall come to pass in the last days, says God, That I will pour out of My Spirit on all flesh; Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, Your young men shall see visions, Your old men shall dream dreams.
