Bizarre info thread

Koko, the world's 'Most Intelligent Gorilla' smiled for the first time in 2001 when she met Robin Williams. When Williams died in 2014 and Koko overheard the news she signed the word "cry".

Lightning strikes 100 times per second worldwide.

Wisdom teeth are the result of evolution causing our jaws to shrink to accommodate larger brains. Our teeth stay the same size but the wisdom teeth not longer fit our jaws.

Not sure if it was Koko or another gorilla but there were two gorillas that were put together with the intention of mating (don't think they did) and one of them died and the other became severely depressed when told of the news and would sign their feelings of sadness. Pretty sure it was Koko.

The year that MW3 and Battlefield 3 came out they both spent $100m on advertising, so I guess those figures don't include advertising? Would be scary to think if advertising was added because CoD spends a lot on that
