3. In Japan, letting a sumo wrestler make your baby cry is considered good luck. Wait, what?
4. The skin on your elbow is called a wenis. Apparently at some point in time 6th graders were in charge of naming body parts.

7. President John Quincy Adams is known to have frequently skinny-dipped in the Potomac River. Good thing Twitter wasn’t around back then.
