LOL The random fact of the day thread

There are 10 kind of people: those who understand quaternary, those who don't, those who mistake it for ternary, and those who mistake it for binary.

You can keep on going up one base and adding an option for the lower base.

Most sharks would both sink and suffocate if they fell asleep, because they have limited buoyancy and need to swim constantly in order both to maintain waterflow through their gills for oxygen and to dynamically control their depth.

Sharks are also reckoned to be one of the oldest species surviving today, with the earliest examples some 420 million years old.
