Boring People Rejoice: Free Interesting Facts Here

It’s happened to everyone. You can remember your name, your dorm, your hometown, but you just cannot for the life of you recall that “interesting” fact you were asked to tell.

Well fear not, students, those days have passed! I know that you all have interesting things to say for yourselves, but this group sharing setting just makes things awkward. Do you go out there and brag about that worldwide Intel science competition you won? Do you tell them that your family called you Cousin It until you were 12 for undisclosed reasons? Do you show them that weird small sixth toe on your left foot?

No. Please do none of those things. I especially do not want to see your toe. Instead of searching your inner soul for ideas, you can turn to this list of fun and interesting facts that will amaze and surprise any group of Harvard students.
