25 Facts That Sound Made Up But Are Totally True

There are some things in life that are just obvious. Like painfully obvious. The sky is blue. Okay...duh? Then there are things that aren't necessarily obvious, but still sort of make sense. Like the fact that Canada is the second largest country in the world, but 90% of Canadians live within 100 miles of the US border. It sounds a little crazy, but if you stop and think about what most of Canada actually looks like (ice? moose? polar bears?), you can see why it would be true.

Then there are things that are just plain crazy. Like mind-bogglingly crazy. For example, cucumbers being berries or Cleopatra living closer to the moon landing than to the building of the pyramids. How about the fact that Saudi Arabia imports both camels and sand from Australia? Allow us to repeat that...Saudi Arabia imports both camels and sand from Australia. We aren't even lying. But that's the kind of world we live in. As usual though, while some of these facts are straight up mind-benders, others are just there for the fun of it. Well, you''ll just have to see for yourself. These are 25 facts that sound made up but are totally true!
