- There are some things in life that are just obvious. Like painfully obvious. The sky is blue. Okay...duh? Then there are things that aren't necessarily obvious but still sort of make sense. Like the fact that Canada is the second largest country in the world, but 90% of Canadians live within 100 miles of the US border. It sounds a little crazy, but if you stop and think about what most of Canada actually looks like (ice? moose? polar bears?), you can see why it would be true.
Then there are things that are just plain crazy. Like mind-bogglingly crazy. For example, cucumbers being berries or Cleopatra living closer to the moon landing than to the building of the pyramids. How about the fact that Saudi Arabia imports both camels and sand from Australia? Allow us to repeat that...Saudi Arabia imports both camels and sand from Australia. We aren't even lying. But that's the kind of world we live in. As usual though, while some of these facts are straight up mind-benders, others are just there for the fun of it. Well, you''ll just have to see for yourself. These are 25 facts that sound made up but are totally true!
25 Facts That Sound Made Up But Are Totally True | List25
Wyoming only has 2 escalators. According to the New York Post, the "citizens of America’s least populated state, are unfortunately being forced to use their legs to move between the floors of buildings."
The CEO of Food for the Poor, one of the largest NGOs in the world, is name Robin Mahfood. Or to put it another way...the CEO is robbin' mah food.
During World War II, the United States tested "bat bombs". Bats carrying individual bombs would be released from the the bigger bomb in mid-air. Just imagine, instead of the Arms Race we almost had the Wings Race.
There are about 200 billion stars in the Milky Way Galaxy. In the brain of 3-year-old child, there are about 1 quadrillion synapses, and in an adult there are about half that many. The bottom line is that even with a measly 500,000 trillion synapses, there are more synapses in your brain than stars in our galaxy.
There were people alive during the World War II bombing of Japan who were born during the Samurai period. How is that possible? Because Japan basically went from swords and spears to tanks and planes in just a couple generations. Who says Civilization isn't realistic?
Mushrooms are more closely related to humans than to plants.
There is a tree near Kolkata, India that is bigger than the average (non-super) Walmart. The average size of a Walmart is around 105,000 square feet; The Great Banyan Tree is 156,000 square feet.
The Japanese embassy in Paris has a 24 hour hotline that tourists can call when they start having panic attacks. Why? Because Paris isn't as nice as they thought it would be. The phenomenon even has a name - Paris Syndrome.
Since the Cubs last won the World Series (1908), Arizona became a state, got a baseball team, and that baseball team proceeded to win the World Series. Also, there were two world wars, and we landed on the moon.
Poop transplants are an actual thing. And just in case you were wondering how it works...you receive a special enema or swallow the poop in pill form. In other words, yes, you ingest somebody else's fecal matter.

Thanks for the collaboration guys :). You were a pleasure to work with.
No no no no no. Thank YOU guys. It was awesome! ~Mike
Anytime! We had a blast as well! You guys are awesome :). - Juan
Today I Found Out list25 ever doing a collab with toptenznet
Today I Found Out just an FYI the milky way has around 200 billion stars not 200 thousand!
stop moving your hands so much
Editor Note: Correction for #22, It was supposed to read as 200 Billion stars, not 200 Thousand. Sorry about that. Annotation has been added to correct the mistake. - Juan
no excuse. Mike needs to brush up on astronomy.
also, Russia is 17 million square kilometers, not miles, goofed that one too lol
Also, who counted all the stars in the milky way??? Last time I tried, I fell asleep.... and there was this supermassive black hole in the middle of our galaxy that made the far side literally unobservable.
list25 It's actually around 100 billion stars, with some estimates up to 400 billion, according to space.com. So about 250 billion on average.
list25 #16 brings a whole new meaning to the phrase "shit eating grin"
We just want to once again thank you so much Simon and everyone at Today I Found Out! This was a super fun collaboration! (We should totally do it again sometime).
list25 no disrespect to Simon, you are still my favourite Mike 😁 Oh gosh mushroom cannibalism 😲 lol xx
list25 You guy's are awesome
about more organs making you more human... invader zim tried to answer that question
list25 The cubs won the World Series this year
list25
i m ur fan
My crew at my work are like mushrooms. We are left in the dark and shit on.
4:26 But chickens can't fly.
Dev Lightning they can for a little bit
Dev Lightning look either 😕😂way if im hungry enough......
.......im eating fried chicken 🐔🐓🍴🍳
They can
+DarkKrono It's more a flutter.
No, they can actually fly.
You're just gonna say "Mushrooms are more closely related to humans, than to plants," without explaining why?
i'm pretty sure it's got something to do with DNA
they share more DNA similar to us than plants, its just math. Youre asking why? ask GOD lmao
@@neweden1241 Ask a non existent made up deity? Sounds logical.
Yeah... I was wondering if there was some explanation coming...
"Apparently death has killed the other half". So you want to tell us those who died from malaria have not experienced death? xD They are still living among us as zombies?
John Titor Not like he said "killed by malaria" or anything.
Charles E. Yes I heard that. But he said that half of the population was killed by malaria and then added the other half was killed by death. Sounded like being killed by malaria is not a form of death to him. xD
Grey Warden and Champion of Kirkwall they were killed to death lol
Bwahahahaha!!
Bat bombs bursting in air
Gave proof through the night
that our flag was still there
Jeffery Liggett dead
Our entire national anthem is a f**king question.
That song wasn't written during the world wars...
Abe no shit
Two of my favorite channels! Awesome collab!
Honestly couldn't get through it with the ridiculous way that bald fella waves his arms around when he talks. There's talking with your hands; and there's this guy...
#14 Lmao Mike, that sounds like one of your puns! 😂😂
Honestly two of my favorite CZcamsrs. Iv been subscribed to both for a couple years and just saw this collaboration video. Great job fellas!
These have been 2 of my favorite channels for a while, and seeing a collaboration is awesome. I very much enjoyed this, and I'd love to see more. Keep up the excellence guys!!
I FREAKED OUT WHEN YOU TWO COLLABORATED!!!!
I watch only two fact channels which are "List 25" and "Today i found out" and both so them coming together made my day :')
Two of my favorite CZcams guys. This was fun to watch -- thanks!
I was in shock for half the video. I don't think I'll every recover from knowimg that dinosaurs quacked.
Todd Daniel I don’t think I’ll recover knowing that I’m not a potato anymore but essentially a freaking mushroom
Who else does laughing at "Robin MaFood"😂😂😂?
I like these videos better than the normal format because not only do I enjoy, Today I Found Out, but because you're actually going into detail with your list; rather than just rambling off random facts without explanation or diving deeper into the subject.
On the last one about the sizes of Russia and Pluto, you said square miles but used the number for Russia's size in square kilometers..
Keep your hands still!
jayozzy666 same
That's like superglue for the yaptrap, with Simon. And a lot of people. Wouldn't be very entertaining, Simon Whistler with a dumbfounded look on his mug the whole video...
this is the collaboration i have been waiting for!! again pls!
As a viewer of both channels I really enjoyed this collaboration. The two voices were different enough to make this video seem even more engaging than most, but not enough to be jarring.
This made me so happy! Two of my favorite channels in collaboration
I adore Simon's voice but when he starts talking with his hands I tend to get motion sick. I tend to just close my eyes and listen to the awesome facts 😁
Fact 0: TheLegend27 actually killed half of an army.
Lol ok ya got me..I don’t ever subscribe or like, but these are so cool and FUNNY! I love ya lol. Keep up the great work!
Love these two channels! Always nice to see Simon and I adore Mike! Thanks !
Thanks love both of your channels
Finally! My two favorite List Channels working together! Sweet!
You have great taste :) - Juan
Yay, Mike and Simon. 2 of my fav youtubers.
Btw, Chickens can't fly so dinosaurs must have learnt it then simply forgot again ;)
"There are about 200,000 stars in the milky way galaxy"????
TRY AGAIN BUDDY MORE LIKE 200 BILLION
100-400 billion
Fumbleberg Gaming sure but damn sure not 200,000
I have a feeling the "today I found out" guy would've caught that. he appears to be much more intelligent than that scruffy doof from this channel
Andy T. ye definitely not haha. I also feel like Simon Whistler is smarter
Have you counted them all?
Great collab !
Two vids by my two fav channels! AND, its Friday!
Life is good!
I love this channel so much!!Keep it up guys
my 2 favorite informational channels in one video YES
I really like your collab videos. Especially with today I found out.
7:29 that fact is wrong
Jared Devan me too..
Lol didn't fall for it
Roger Smith if it is a fact then it's not wrong
After all are you a scientist
I believe not :,
Then it's opinion 0.0
Roger Smith stfu
This is great ! Two of my favorite people on the same video
I love Simon ! This is the one collab I support to the fullest 💕
More organs = More Human. Invader Zim Reference. XD
I'm loving these collaborations!!
Well done segment. Very interesting
Bat bombs?! BAT BOMBS?!? What were they thinking? Thank god we didn't do that. Bats could have gone endangered and worse that could have ruined Batman becoming a comic book superhero.
Awesome! You should do more stuff together!!
I've never until now seen anyone speak with both hands and arms so much that I don't even hear what he is saying because I can't stop watching the movements. Bald dude STOP IT!!!!
Two of my favorite fact guys in one vid! That was great, thx 😊
....Good morning, Mike and Tristan!....
I hope you guys have a great day, and an even better weekend.....
(Oh, and thanks for all of the great videos, guys....your whole team totally kicks ass!).
A fact you should have added. At one time Osama bin Laden was considered a hero a Nelson Mandela was a terrorist.
Y'all keepin' rockin' those beards!
Hey Mike! ❤️❤️❤️❤️ so happy my favorite channel and my 2nd favorite channel collated. You're looking extra adorable today 😘😘
some of these are hilarious! as well as how they are presented! LOL Love it!
omg I love this collab thing with Mike and Simon Whistler.....MY TWO FAVES!!
Well technically every fact is "made up". They classify knowledge that happen as "Facts".
It is cool that you guys got together! 👍
Mike, I'd like to thank you and everyone at List 25 for sparking my new and insatiable curiosity. Have a wonderful 2017!
Yea Simon! I subscribed just seeing that he apparently endorses your channel. 😎
"Knowledge is knowing cucumbers are berries, Wisdom is knowing not to but them in your smoothie."
Boi I had a smoothie with a cucumber in it this morning what are you talking about
YAY!!! 💟 Simon and Mike! How awesome that they're in the same video!! #TodayIfoundout #List25
Christine Crawford I adore them both!
thankyou for this article, great collaboration from two gret channels..
Oi! I love this guy.... and yes, I am subscribed.
This dude should be in more of your videos. He was really good! 👍
If you are talking about Simon, Go visit his channel Today I found Out.
brave and studious for competitors to collaborate together! well done!
If I watched this video a second time, the title would be a lie.
That fact concerning the number of arms was quite surprising. Knowledge is a wonderful thing.
This looked like some kind of battle rap.......also I'm quite happy that No:9 made perfect sense to me.
Actually, cucumbers aren't bad in smoothies! They have a lot of water and a mild taste, as long as you shave those little bumps off (which can have a slightly peppery taste) it tastes good! I would recommend trying a cucumber and melon smoothie!
I actually like putting cucumber in my smoothie
I'll put cucumber in my smoothie if I feel like it
3:42 as soon as he finished that awful pun my hd quality dropped so much 😂
Already knew a lot of these facts........... still, great video.....
Simon Whistler.A great British educator,visiting a great American list channel.
Thanks :)
+Today I Found Out There is a reason why your subscriber count is increasing rapidly.
Today I Found Out why aren't you verified?
Today I Found Out Simon you are amazing and I love all your channels!
My grandmother was in world War one so as an adult she dealt with no electricity or cars but lived not only to see men on the moon but discussion about outer space nursing (she was a nurse)
there is a law in Kentucky that you cannot carry ice cream in your back pocket
Thanks Simon!
"Paris Syndrome", when you wake up next to Paris Hilton and chew your own arm off as to not wake her and make your escape.
So now we know that T-Rex tastes like chicken. I'm not surprised.
OMG. The CEO rob my food. Lol.
"Oxford University was founded before the rise of the Aztec Empire" What the hell, this one is messing with my head
I like the Dark Harvest reference in 12, lol
Wait, there are some smoothies that require cucumbers. I just drank one, this morning.
I think that Hot Coffee machines would probably make a lot more money then Ice Cream machines in Antarctica.

I caught that Inavder Zim reference!
Hahahah invader zim reference! Priceless !!!
Amazing video
I love the organ reference from invader zim
the mushroom one blew my mind
a chicken wouldn't be a tree's closest living ancestor, it would be the closest living descendant.
trex, not trees. auto correct changed it.
I can confirm #25. One of the two escalators is in a bank in my town.
Omg something about 24 just gets me 😂 so hard
