One Dozen Rail Fences

 

Even more unlikely but true facts:

Vatican City is only 0.19 square miles; the smallest independent state in the world by both area and population. There is only one (living) pope there, which makes 5.9 popes per square mile.

There are 780 active players in Major League Baseball. The total number of players under contract are 1,471. The average capacity of an MLB stadium is well over 40,000. So, if you were to put every single MLB player in the stands of Fenway Park or Wrigley Field, they’d be a drop in the bucket.

You nose is always visible to you, but your brain simply ignores it. (I happen to know when you break your nose and it swells, your brain suddenly STOPS ignoring it. It’s very distracting.)

Humans have been performing dentistry since 7,000 BCE. There’s evidence showing people have extracted teeth and filled cavities for many thousands of years. (Filled them with what?)
