Hey guys, every friday and thursday is very busy for me, so I will give a cluster of facts on saturday
 so, here are the facts:1: chlorophyll is the substance that makes leaves green (its inside the chloroplasts of a cell) 2: the secret ingredient in coca cola is 7x. (Only a couple of people know what 7x is) 3: whenever you cut yourself and you start bleeding, special cells in you blood called platelets form a net and clot your blood to eventually make a scab.

Here is an interesting factoid. Georg Cantor theorized that infinities come in different sizes based on the existance of natural numbers(1,2,3) and real numbers (with decimals). He argued that the range of real numbers between zero and one contains more possibilities than all natural numbers with real number variations occurring between each natural number progression. Thus the infinity of real numbers is larger than that of natural numbers or one infinity is larger than another. I love that one.

A group of zebras is better known as a 'dazzle'
 after all, we are quite dazzling both in our fashion sense as well as our dancing ability.

The gladiators in ancient rome had a 90 % survival rate during the games, it's a fapse rumor that they fought to the death all the time. (It would have been to expensive for their sponsors to fund)

The icon by my name is a statue of Captain Bill McDonald of the Texas Rangers at Love Field Airport. There is a famous saying in Texas: "One riot, one ranger." Legend has it that Capt. McDonald said this when he was sent to Dallas in anticipation of a riot. He never said this. The mayor of Dallas had sent a telegraph to Austin asking for help. He went to the train station to meet his back up. The only law enforcement on the train was Bill McDonald. The mayor immediately asked, "Where are the others?" McDonald replied, "Hell! Ain't I enough? There's only one prize fight!"
McDonald also said, "No man in the wrong can stand up against a fellow that's in the right and keeps on a-comin'." Not sure where everyone is from, but I like some Old West lore every now and again.
RIP CRAZYWOLF

Today will not have a fact. Instead, to those who are reading this, please give a moment of silence to honor the murdered men and women 14 years ago.
