Welcome to the work week people, it is back again and, as always, with a vengeance. From now until quitting time, you are contractually obligated to sit at your desk, stare at your screen and move your hands on the keyboard and mouse. You know, the basics that make it look like you are actually working and not just blankly sitting at a desk.

And while you cannot get away with doing absolutely nothing, you probably can get away with scrolling through a list such as this one, which is filled with fun facts specifically designed to occupy your burnout brain when it begins to wander at work. The kind of facts that will never impact your daily life but are so weird, wonderful and wild, you cannot help but need to know them. So go on, keep your job and scroll nice and slow, for as long as your mouse keeps moving then you will still have a job. Well, hopefully.
