The world is filled with fascinating trivia that can peek our curiosity, and pick our brains apart. Here are some very interesting facts that you may not have heard before. Prepared to have your mind blown!

Phone

One of the most common ways people avoid awkward situations or other people is by pretending to be talking on their phone. It's a tactic that many people use to create a distraction and distance themselves from uncomfortable interactions.

Italy

In Italy, it is not considered a crime to steal food if you are hungry.

Convicted of a crime

In Portland, a few years ago, a romance novelist who once wrote an online essay entitled, “How to Murder Your Husband” was sentenced to life in prison with the possibility of parole for murdering her husband.

The electric chair

The electric chair was invented by a dentist named Alfred P. Southwick in the late 19th century.

The first person to be executed in the electric chair was William Kemmler on August 6, 1890.

Expensive engagement rings

A study of over 3000 marriages found that the more money spent on an engagement ring, the higher the likelihood of getting divorced. So, contrary to popular belief, a pricey ring doesn't necessarily guarantee a happily ever after.

The more water you drink before bed, the more you are able to remember your dreams. Drinking extra water before bed may prompt you to wake up following a dream segment and have a better recall of your dream. While there is no scientific evidence to support this, a national magazine made this claim about 6 years ago.
