@todayilearned Back in the 1970s, I visited a family in Greece. They had a remote control that was attached to the television via a thick black cable. That's the only wired TV remote I've ever seen.

@lowqualityfacts ... except in the Southern Hemisphere, where it's the other way round.

@lowqualityfacts Houseflies will do the same thing if they're distraught about a moral failing. That's why a man walking into a room with a candle in it will sometimes hear the words, "Your flies are undone."

@lowqualityfacts And yet you never see a headless male swan, because he pops up a replacement head immediately after mating.It's a little-known fact that a male swan is born with all the heads he will ever have.

@lowqualityfacts That's what a baby shower is, right?

@lowqualityfacts Honestly, you should be ashamed of yourself, Dolly.

@clive You're more athletic than me, but I can testify that an #FFP2 respirator makes turning over the #compost a lot less unpleasant.

@lowqualityfacts It stands to reason. Most assaults involve toothbrushes, and red toothbrushes are easier to find.

@lowqualityfacts That's fantastic. If seven more people will just donate $0, you'll reach your goal of $1,000,000,000, and Fishy will be safe.Won't someone think of the kitties?

@lowqualityfacts True, but the sun turns on its axis every 3.65 seconds, which is why it's white-hot.

@lowqualityfacts All kangaroos try walking once at about seven weeks of age. They topple forward, their noses hit the ground, and they never try it again.

@lowqualityfacts "Casimir Zeglen" is a pseudonym. The inventor of the bulletproof vest wanted to catch bullets without the stress of getting shot, so he chose an anagram of "Calmer Seizing".His brother, Mincier Glazes, was a novelty cake maker (and a commercial disaster). His sister, Sleaze Criming, naturally went into politics.

@lowqualityfacts Yes, but he kept growing for more than a century after his death. He's now on his seventh coffin.

@lowqualityfacts That's technically true. Inside every bat is a bird, and that has a full set of internal organs. A bat is really just a bird's raincoat.

@lowqualityfacts That can't be right. "Nefarious" is only nine inches long unless you include the full stop.

@lowqualityfacts The way I heard it, Will Smith is the grandfather, Am Smith is the father, and Did Smith is the son.
