Eating with a fork was considered scandalous in Europe during the Middle Ages?
That cows don't have upper front teeth?
That the length from your wrist to your elbow is the same as the length of your foot?
Every person has a unique tongue print.
If all your DNA is stretched out, it would reach to the moon 6,000 times.
The baker's dozen
The "unlucky 13" is the reason why the thirteen loaves that bakers once supplied were never called by the number, but described as "a baker's dozen." The thirteenth loaf was regarded as a special bribe for the devil not to spoil the sale or the bread.

An Ostriches eye is bigger then its brain
A cockroach can live for 9 days with its head cut off
Right handed people live an average of 9 years longer then left handed people.

Following that, I imagine that would be an evolutionary trait of men in the hunting/gathering era being able to see danger/food sources and therefore have better eyesight than women.
Don't know the underlying explanation, but that evolutionary explanation sounds very plausible...

It can range from about 59-71, depending on the cat's size and breed, as well as the number of kittens in the litter.
I had to learn this because my cat was pregnant when I got her and it seemed like it was taking too long for her to birth (Took about 67 days from adoption... and she was alone the day I got her)

Anthony Quinn did not have the shortest Oscar performance, it was Beatrice Straight and her 5 mintues in Network (1976), followed by Dame Judi Dench with 8 minutes in Shakespeare in Love, followed by Anthony Quinn at nearly 9 minutes. He was however the shortest performance for a man.

Did you know that the average gestation for house cats is 63 days?

Do you know what that cat had to go through in order to get pregnant? -

At first, the female will reject the male, but eventually the female will allow the male to mate. The female will utter a loud yowl as the male pulls out of her. This is because a male cat's penis has a band of about 120–150 backwards-pointing spines, which are about one millimeter long;[146] upon withdrawal of the penis, the spines rake the walls of the female's vagina, which is a trigger for ovulation. This act also occurs to clear the vagina of other sperm in the context of a 2nd (or more) mating, thus giving the latter males a larger chance of conception. After mating, the female will wash her vulva thoroughly. If a male attempts to mate with her at this point, the female will attack him. After about 20 to 30 minutes, once the female is finished grooming, the cycle will repeat.[145]
Because ovulation is not always triggered by a single mating, females may not be impregnated by the first male with which they mate.[147] Furthermore, cats are superfecund; that is, a female may mate with more than one male when she is in heat, with the result that different kittens in a litter may have different fathers.[145]

They might win in religious fanatics, and maybe Swiss guards that don't guard Switzerland. They do have some bad ass works of art like Michelangelo's Last Judgement, the Sistine Chapel and Ecstasy of St. TheresaI think Vatican City has the least amount of everything, except for maybe religious artifacts.
