I downloaded a free app called Cool Facts for my phone last night, and it actually has indeed been providing me with some down right “cool facts.”

Of course, I haven’t gone through and checked to see how legitimate each fact is, but I guess I’m just going to trust it.

Here are 20 good ones:

1. Even a small amount of alcohol placed on a scorpion will make it go crazy and sting itself to death.
2. Frozen lobsters can come back to life when thawed.
3. Cleopatra wasn’t Egyptian; she was Greek.
4. Babies start dreaming even before they’re born

12. In 1980, a Las Vegas hospital suspended workers for betting on when patients would die.
13. Babies are born without knee caps.
14. The Mona Lisa has no eyebrows. It was the fashion in Renaissance Florence to shave them off.
15. All polar bears are left handed (WHAT??)
16. Everytime you lick a stamp, you’re consuming 1/10 of a calorie.
17. The Yo-Yo originated as a weapon in the Philippine Islands during the sixteenth century.
18. The ‘L.L’ in L.L. Bean stands for ‘Leon Leonwood’.
19. The only 15 letter word that can be spelled without repeating a letter is “uncopyrightable”.
