Thread: Thnikka's "ACTUAL fact of the day" thread.

In this thread Thnikka will enlighten us with facts that are actually true.

Because my facts are not factual enough for him.

Sneakers. Inappropriate. There is no need for this

I know it's a fact that Tinker can't eat nachos without getting cheese on his shirt.

I eat a bag of sunflower seeds a day.

I was doing some research, and that is a common trait of assburgers syndrome.

Wikipedia is not a reliable source of information due to the fact that it is editable by everyone. However it can be used as a starting point for research. Just don't use it as a reference.

Iced Chai Latte is the freaking bomb...that isn't an opinion, that's a fact, jack!

This is not true. Wikipedia does fact checking on new information posted for accuracy. If accuracy cannot be verified they post a disclaimer on the top of the page. All of their resources are cited. Common misconception.

60 degrees in Denver today. Snow tomorrow.

That is why I said to use the referenced articles by wikipedia, not wikipedia itself. In the post by Sneakers that started this whole thing, he said (and I'm paraphrasing) '90% of the cells in the body are bacteria'. Going to the wikipedia article that he got this "fact" from, and looking at the source of this fact, it states that 90% of the cells in the body are microbes. Bacteria are microbes, but not all microbes are bacteria.

And you can see the [citaiton needed] tags if there is a bold claim out there. Yes I'm being a bit anal retentive with this, but its all in giving Sneakers a hard time.
