John Moore

I'm particularly concerned about the one about Nintendo. How can that be right?

Mary Ann Armstrong

Mark Ann Dubaz

Ok, so where’s the proof. Not buying some of these.

Leslie Mehne

John Moore, Nintendo was founded in 1889 (they made playing cards then). The Ottoman Empire lasted until 1922.

Paula Salem

I heard an Ostrich eyes are bigger than its brain. But not an oyster. 🤔

Interesting "facts". Some of them are a bit far fetched. eg. Nintendo

Marianna Zangara

one or two of these were really difficult to believe.

David Ching
