19 Facts That Will Creep You Right Out

Day in and day out, we learn something new. There's practically an unlimited amount of knowledge that we can obtain; only, of course, if we're able to live forever. 

Even then, how many people would actually take the time to learn absolutely everything there is to learn? Probably not many. 

That's why we condense things and like to absorb our information in concise, yet accurate ways. I mean, realistically, not everybody wants to sit down and try to read a massive science paper with all of the jargon included. 

If you're one of those few, then kudos to you, but for the rest of us, we'll stick to the entertaining facts. Like the ones in this article! Here are 10 facts that will likely send shivers down your spine.
