Fun and Interesting (T&C Friendly) Daily Facts

We have a meme forum, and I quite enjoy seeing the fun memes we all share, so I thought I would create this forum so that those across the world can share interesting, lesser known, or just funny facts with those that might not know them.

I will start with one that some might know, but others minds will be blown.

Louis XIV of France really was as unpleasant a fellow as he's been depicted. In 1674, when he was visiting a school at Clermont, he heard from the school's authorities that one of the children, a nine- year-old Irish lad named Francis Seldon, had made a pun about the king's bald head.

Louis was furious. He had a secret warrant drawn up for the child's arrest, and young Seldon was thrown into solitary confinement in the Bastille.
