While it is humorous that the Finns had Rabbis when allied with the Germans, I'm not sure why you needed to mention them having Bishops.
Most countries at the time, the Soviet Union excluded, had some sort of designated religious attachment, or Chaplain.
Even them rascally Germans.

Excess?

Also, .27% of all Jenga games are played on 9/11.

There was to be a playable alternate reality in the original Halo: Combat Evolved.
in the Alternate Reality everything would've progressed as normal until you dropped off Cortana in the control room. During the next level she'd drop hints towards something sinister but the level would progress as usual.
Upon your return to the control room you'd find Cortana has gone mad with power and had taken over the entire Halo installation. Using her new found omnipotence she would threaten to conquer/destroy the galaxy, and of course you'd have to stop her.

and that was Blitz Walrus' Halo Fact of the day.

In 18th century Europe there was a person known as the "Count of St. Germain". It was said that he found the philosophers stone and was thus immortal.
Multiple witness accounts tell of meeting him multiple times during the course of their lives, often multiple decades apart and him never looking older than about 50, sometimes even younger than the last time.

Hohenheim from FMA was modeled after him, so was the Millenium Earl from D.Gray Man.

PokeFact: The swirls on Poliwhirl and Poliwag represent their intestines.

Anyway, Hitmonchan is named after Jackie Chan, and Hitmonlee is named after Bruce Lee.

Also, if Hyperbeam, Giga Impact, and other similar moves hit the target, the user requires to rest the next turn. But if it misses, the user can still attack normally next turn. Missing results in not needing to recharge. Pretty weird.

i heard from this book that the pope has somebody to watch him poop the first time to make sure that he isn't a woman

also um like the pope around the 15th century made artists paint the devil as some horned beast thing to scare people into becoming Christians

If you rub your fingers across a timpani in a certain way, you can make it sound like whalesong.
My band has a piece that does this, it's pretty cool.

Check it out around 5:10.

Those quick few notes before the bass comes in in "Roxanne" by The Police is actually Sting accidentally sitting on a keyboard during the vocal recordings, hence his laughs. It just coincidentally happened to be at the perfect timing to make a nice intro for the bass line

Yeah, that asshole who thinks his name is actually important enough to spell it right

If you believe in the bible, The chicken technically comes before the egg solving that riddle(Genesis 1 19-22).

But but, neither come first. Radiation did. a random mutation in a genome in an animal REALLY CLOSE to being a chicken's sex cells happened. I guess the Egg came first
