A little something about Russian prison tattoos.

This means "life in prison with no chance of parole".

No one cares about Earth Day.

Earth day, which was on Tuesday, is supposed to be a day where we enjoy nature and trees and the preservation of the earth. My school cut down a bunch of trees on that day.
Except this guy:

Also, since my internet was not working yesterday, I couldn't post a fact. It was Shakespeare's birth (and death) day. Boring....

Charlie Brown's dad was a barber.

Since I haven't gone to school in the last two days, my daily learning has greatly decreased. The only thing I've learned is bad news, and nothing that would interest anyone who actually reads this. I'm just depressing. Therefore, I have selected the lovely, talented, and intelligent ELIZABETH BOESE to give today's fact of the day:

Charlie Brown's dad was a barber.




Thanks Elizabeth.

Marijuana is the third most common drug.

In honor of 420, the national marijuana holiday, I have provided a drug related fact. The first most common "drug" is alcohol and then surprisingly, cocaine. Half baked was Dave Chappelle's first movie. April 20th is Hitler's birthday. Marijuana is also referred to as weed, cannabis, ganja, grass, mary jane, dope, and others. High Times is a marijuana themed magazine. This should be considered drug week because April 19th is the first recorded attempt of LSD. Later today I will upload a 420 mix for you to get high to. Hail the leaf.

Winston Churchill was an artist.

This is a piece of his art.

Winston Churchill was not only one of the most famous British Prime Ministers, he was also an artist and a historian. True Renaissance man.

Props to Eric Benson, the people standing next to me, Alex Ball, the party that I'm at, orange juice and my new sunglasses.

A huge species of tortoise that was thought to be extinct has been rediscovered in Vietnam.

These little shits can way up to 300 lbs.
Note: This picture is not the same as the Vietnam turtles, but its a great picture. The Vietnamese species looks like this:

GROSS.
Thanks William Chandler Haines Tyler for giving me this fact.

This year is the 100th anniversary of Converse

If you're into that sorta thing, I'm sure there are some limited edition kewl shits you can pick up. Personally, not my favorite. This fact is brought to you by Allen Bondurant.

Since I forgot to put up a fact yesterday...

I started and ended with Sigur Ros because they are the quintessential sleep band. There's a lot of different songs on here you may or may not heard of. Tell me what you think and if it puts you to sleep.

There are seven new "deadly sins".

According to the Catholic Church, "The new deadly sins include polluting, genetic engineering, being obscenely rich, drug dealing, abortion, pedophilia and causing social injustice."* It used to be greed, gluttony, lust, sloth, wrath, envy and pride. Now that the church is attempting to take a more modern stance, they have added new things. Better start going to confession...

Don't believe everything you hear.

The other day, my fact was going to be "Mr. Rogers actually has a bunch of tattoos and was a former marine." Then later that day, I found it to be NOT TRUE. Don't believe everything you hear and don't pass it off as fact. Sorry to anyone who I told that little falsity to...just think of it as a gullibility test.

Rick Ross' real name is Will Roberts

Ballers. Hustlers. Will Roberts's.

this is not a fact.

But it is a mix that I think you will enjoy, if you like hip-hop. There are some classics and some new stuff, but all things I think you should check out. So, instead of me learning something new today...you will gain some hip-hop knowledge.

Fact of the day brought to you by: NICKY "THE AGENT" MITCHELL. thanks nick.

Amish people do not pay Social Security taxes.

This is because they refuse payment when they reach the adequate age. Fuck 'em.

The Game was valedictorian of his high school graduating class.

It is better to break a rule and apologize later than to ask permission and be denied.

Wise words from my irritable government teacher, Mr. Bosha.

Here I am with Mr. Bosha, posing with a book called "Stupid Black Men". Grumpiest dude ever.

Ramen Noodles are made in Chesterfield County.

My mom went to the factory of Ramen Noodles today and apparently they're made in Chesterfield. Weird, I know. Here are some facts about Ramen Noodles: They have three factories, two in Cali and one in Chesterfield. The main ingredients are wheat flower and oil. They contain alot of sodium. They are very cheap and not really good for you but will fill you up if you have a lack of funds. Pop culture reference: There is a weird pop-punk record label out there called Fueled By Ramen. For more information on Ramen Noodles, please check out http://www.mattfischer.com/ramen/.

that I'm really uncreative.

I can't think of a single good April Fool's prank that wouldn't be too mean.
