They say knowledge is power. They also say ignorance is bliss. They sound like they might have a bit of a bi-polar issue. When it comes to finding facts on the internet, we come across a lot of information we can't wait to share with you to increase your understanding of the world you live
in; whether it is to teach, inform, or entertain. But we also come across a lot of stuff we just don't know if you'll believe, or maybe it just doesn't belong on another list due to the fact it's just too gross.

Luckily, when we have enough of those facts that might cause the average reader to turn their nose up in disgust- we can put them into their own list for those with stronger stomachs. So here you go, sickos.
