TIL how Carrie Fisher died
beerire
#12 this is not fact. Kind of wild theory, like nemesis the second sun in our system or Tyche the second Jupiter.
Strummer16
#8 They waited until he'd finished shitting and then shot him.
amagiciannamedgob
So Tesla is Doc Brown. Awesome.
rssplowman
Potato Jesus. Damn near forgot about that botch. Unlike shitty Charmander.
shaggywasastoner
Remember, if your ever in a shoot out, drop your pants and start shitting. The honor code will save your life.

Yeah Yao Ming'a campaign taught people that shark fin soup was made of sharks. Turns out it's called "flying fin soup" in Chinese.

#12 So there's someone out there but they're smart enough to hide their entire planet from us.
eggmuffin
Ah yes, more "facts".

I don't have sympathy for the SS, but #40 is incredibly sad.
Sirkman
Yeah, that one is a bit weird; no one should ever do anything like that to another human being, but on the other hand, fuck the SS.

The russians did some seriously shitty stuff back then. Raping my great-aunt, for one. :/

About how many mistakes a single Soviet made per day:
MrPositive10
Man I just thought how crazy it was that it's been a year since Carrie fisher drowned in moonlight while being strangled by her bra...
somanybees
What a great way to go. And she was buried in a Prozac shaped coffin which I love even more.
Koga90
Or it was her being a junkie for 40 years
ApotheosisCM
She's rich so she wasn't a junkie; she had an addiction.
synysterlove
Thats how I want to go.

I also want to die from drowning in moonlight, strangled by Carrie Fisher's bra.

Jellyrabbit
Harbe didn't hurt the kid why would he hurt gorillas reputation? He was killed because he could have hurt them and it wasn't worth d chance

We did not kill Bokito, he is still at the same zoo.

Reputation of the humans, you mean?

Harambe has destroyed what jambo has fought for.

#11 The Guyanese government reportedly then said 'what logging?' while holding a comically large sack with a dollar sign on it.
FindingOrbit
Wow, Carrie Fisher perfectly predicting how she died, how crazy is that!
airbreather
Facts #22-29... all the subjects (even the pig and the gorilla!) are named except the African kid in #25 who built windmills. Awkward.

It's the same guy who got Pluto demoted who published the report on the possible planet.

They say that human and monkeys body language differ and our expression of sympathy might be interpreted as an insult.
Attacker732
Honestly, do we have similar body language to ANYTHING else on this planet?
AzgarOgly
They say that common crane and hooded crane are genetically perfectly compatible and could mate and reproduce. But the mating dance //

of two species is different so they would never do. So much about body language and racial differences.
Attacker732
Huh. Not quite what I was looking for, but definitely interesting in its own right.

It's because, generally speaking, animals consider the baring of teeth to be a threat akin to being snarled at.

#12 i call bullshit. There's no way we can't see a 9th planet in our solarsystem.
peterzappfe
It most certainly is.
SnarkyOstrich
They say there are planets so dark they’re invisible
NotVeryHelpful
Its just a theory «planet X». NASA doesn’t support it.
noname117spore
Planet 9 NASA does at least have a little support for. It's proposed by the same guy who demoted Pluto and is based on orbital observations
Syphryn
An extremely dark object impossibly far away inside the Kuiper belt which is huge clusterfuck of other dark far away objects. Why not?
lonelylincolnshiresausage
It's right underneath us, silly. #flatearth #governmentcoverup.
DavidBrooker
Pluto is just 1.2 pixels across on Hubble and this thing is supposed to be much further out.
DerpeDiem
It is. Heard about that couple of years ago
Nuttsy
You kinda need a fair bit of effort to spot a fairly small dark object in front of a massive, mostly dark background.
thoushaltnotpass
The formulation on that factoid is wrong, but it's based on a fact. Could be several massive Kuiper belt objects too.
noname117spore
It would be so far away that we could potentially not see it. An object the size of Neptune would've been detected by the WISE... (1)
noname117spore
telescope only up to 700 AU. Planet 9's proposed highly eccentric orbit could take it as high as 1200 AU and as low as 200 AU. (2)
noname117spore
Kuiper belt objects and some other weird observations are what we have to go on, but other solutions have been proposed as well. (4)
noname117spore
If it's in the higher part of the orbit, where it would spend the most time, we wouldn't've seen it. Weird gravitational effects on (3)

I live in Alabama and really don't believe it. Huntsville is one of the top 10 best educated cities in the US, at least.

LBJ was pretty badass. He was a fake racist to real racists to gain their trust,so he could trick them into passing civil rights legislation
eggmuffin
LBJ was a political animal. Civil rights was a barrel of gunpowder sitting in his lap.

No, he was a real racist and all-around nasty son of a bitch.

the fact that he was "terrorized" is such a wishful thinking, and most certainly wrong.

/passport. She basically just rocks up to immigration, sans paperwork. She's the one who authorises passports, therefore doesn't need one.
