Post a random trivia fact or two, that you think most people don't know, and could help the if they were ever on Jeopardy or Millionaire.

*Snickers is the best selling Chocolate bar of all time and has an annual global sale of 2 billion USD

*Rolly Pollies, or "pill bugs" are not insects but are actually terrestrial crustaceans. They breath through gills which is why they're often found in damp areas like the undersides of rocks

Did you know that nobody has died of old age in the USA for the past half century? That category of cause of death was eliminated in 1951. Now everyone must die "from" something!

Did you also know that when a person dies, hearing is generally the last sense to go? The first sense lost is usually sight. Then follows taste, smell, and touch.

Finally, did you know that a human head remains conscious for about 15 to 20 seconds after it has been decapitated?

I did

I had heard up to a minute even for the decapitated head. Which is why they get bagged first, so no one sees the horror as the person realizes what has happened.

*Sometimes forum users (ifem currently) separate what could be put into one post, into 2 or more to inflate their post counts? (purposely or subconsciously)

*Spiders and scorpions, like the rolly pollie are also not insects. Spiders and scorpions both belong to the class arachnida, insects belong to insecta.

*The original language of the catholic Church was Greek. Latin did not become universal until the 400s
