Random fact of the day!

Thematically Appropriate given the site: A study of over 15 000 men found the average penis size is 13.12cm (5.16 inches) when erect. And the standard deviation is about 1.66cm (0.65 inches). So that guy talking about his 8 inch dick is in the top 0.3% of people.

Crazy.
 
The (now dwarf) planet Pluto was named by an 11 year old girl named Venetia Burney. Since Pluto was so hard to find, but was predicted to exist, little Venetia suggested it be named after the Roman god of the Underworld due to his ability to turn invisible, much like the planet seemed to be. Her grandfather was a scholar who passed the idea on to the Lowell Observatory (which later found the planet). It stuck and now our littlest planet has a cool name!

The best part? Jane herself found it hilarious, and was shocked that her staff went so far as to threaten legal action against Gary.
