Iguanas, koalas and Komodo dragons all have two penises.

Napoleon had his servants wear his boots to break them in before he wore them.

Charlie Chaplin once won third prize in a Charlie Chaplin look-alike contest.

The word kangaroo means "I don't know" in the language of Australian Aboriginies. When Captain Cook approached natives of the Endeavor River tribe to ask what the strange animal he spotted was, he got "kangaroo" for an answer.

Excellent.

Did you know koalas are pretty much stoned all the time because of the leaves they eat?

And that kangaroo trivia is awesome.

Also, I totally knew about the Charlie Chaplin thing AND I have a humongous wall-sized poster of him as the tramp that used to be my mom's when she was in college, and we should totally put it up next year.
