There's a good chance that in your group of friends, there's at least one person who always seems to have a random fact you've never heard before that fits the situation no matter what you're talking about.
And considering that a significant part of my job over the years has involved discovering and sharing bizarre facts, it shouldn't come as a surprise to hear that I am that friend. I'm not the only one among my circle, but I've certainly reached the point where people have stopped asking me how I know this stuff.
But a while back, it seemed that this was exactly the kind of information that one Twitter user was in the mood for and she probably received enough to last a lifetime.
