'Don't ask how I know': 33 Head-scratching smartypants facts with questionable origins

With great knowledge comes great responsibility. Some of us have eclectic, niche knowledge that we put to good use everyday at our jobs! And some of us are just bookish nerds who have acquired a rare amount of knowledge for the sake of our Thursday night trivia team. But there are those of us with deep-lore knowledge– the kind of stuff you could never bring up at the dinner table –who would rather not say how we know something. We just do.

These taboo facts are not only interesting, but potentially useful if faced with a dire situation– you just can't tell anyone how you know. So if you're interested in learning the dirty details that come straight from some other folks deepest closets, this list is for you. And remember, you didn't hear it from me! Scroll onward to read a collection of facts that we can't exactly share how/why we know.
