I’m guessing people probably have cracked it but they don’t reveal who because those people become top secret agents within the organization.

No words rhyme with purple, silver, orange, or month.

“Cunts” does if you have a lisp.

If you are over 31.5 years old, you have lived for over 1 billion seconds.

@acres  
You call this living? It’s more like dying in slow motion.

Morgan Freeman was born old in 1937. He has remained old ever since.

The law of urination states that all mammals will empty a full bladder at approximately the same time: about 21 seconds. The size of the bladder does not matter.

The Milky Way weighs about 1.5 trillion solar masses.  
 
We obviously can’t pop our galaxy onto a scale to learn how much it weighs, but by using data from NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope and the European Space Agency’s Gaia spacecraft, scientists have calculated that the Milky Way weighs around 1.5 trillion solar masses (1 solar mass equals the weight of our sun). Part of that bulk comes from the 200 billion stars in the area as well as a 4-million-solar-mass black hole and surrounding dark matter.

If all the planets in the solar system were placed next to each other, they could fit in the space between the earth and the moon.

Clouds at the centre of the Milky Way smell of rum, taste of raspberries and are packed with booze  
 
In 2009, astronomers exploring a giant cloud of gas and dust at the centre of the Milky Way made a surprise discovery – the cloud was packed full of a chemical known as ethyl formate, which has a couple of intriguing properties: it is responsible for giving raspberries their flavour, and has the smell of rum.
 
Another nearby region is also notable as it’s full of ethyl alcohol, or ethanol, the type we use to make alcoholic beverages.
 
It contains enough alcohol to supply every person on the planet with 300,000 pints of beer per day for the next billion years!
 
If bottled at the source, the proof for this beer would be very low, with an alcohol content of less than one per cent, but as the cloud also contains plenty of other nasty chemicals, among them carbon monoxide and hydrogen cyanide, it would still leave you with quite a headache the next morning.

@GasMaskGuy98  
I never eat raspberries. I’ll make sure to steer clear of that region of space.

Gold has no taste.

Back in the day pink was a masculine color and blue was a feminine color.

Everyday someone unknowingly takes the biggest shit in the world.

And the saddest fact of all is that Guinness does not have a record for this.

Almost 4.57 billion people were active internet users as of July 2020, encompassing 59% of the global population.

The only letter not on the periodic table is J

@acres  
J used to be considered a variant of I.

You’re more likely to get a computer virus from visiting religious sites than porn sites. According to research from security firm Symantec, religious websites carry three times more malware threats than pornography sites. Symantec found that the average number of security threats on religious sites was around 115, compared to adult content sites which carried around 25. In fact, only 2.4% of adult sites were infected with malware. The researchers hypothesized that’s because porn sites need to generate a profit, so there’s a financial incentive to keeping them virus-free to encourage repeat business.

That reminds me of a South Park episode about that…

@Aryanne  
It’s where I got the idea from.
 
“Dirty, kinky ponies can often find great sex” is a great way to remember the taxonomy levels in order.
 
Domain, kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, species.
 
Not including the sub levels

@acres  
Sub levels. Hmmm…
 

Labs experiment on mice because animal welfare laws don’t cover mice, so you can do anything you want to them and it’s not illegal. They also breed like crazy.
