    Because I am bored, post a fun fact down below; it can be about anything. If it is a fact relating to science, make sure that it has been proven by the scientific method. I will start.

    Fun fact #1: In Greece's fight for independence, a Turkish garrison was besieged by Greek fighters on the Acropolis. When the Turks were running short on bullets, they began to dismantle the marble columns to use the lead within as bullets. The Greeks sent them ammunition with the message: “Here are bullets, don’t touch the columns."

    Fun fact #2: All US astronauts are required to learn Russian as part of their extensive training. They also have to be able to run the ISS (International Space Station) using training manuals in Russian if necessary.
