Okay, lets see how this goes. I'll start. Pretty simple. I'll start by stating something I know or just found out and the next poster tells me whether or not they knew it and if they care at all or find it interesting or not. And then they post their own "Did you know" question. Can be anything at all. I'll start.

Did you know that Joaquin Phoenix was originally offered the role of Derek Vinyard in American History X, but turned it down because he found the material distasteful and passed?

    Did you know that Bill Walton is only 62 years old? That guy looked 62 years old 20 years ago! Blew my mind when I found that out recently.

    I did not know that, maybe because I have no idea who Bill Walton is.

    Did you know that Vancouver BC is now apparently the "supercar capital of North America", with more Lamborhinis, Ferraris, Porsches and other luxury cars per capita than LA, the former supercar capital?

    Did you know Zerox developed most of the stuff we use on computers (monitor, mouse and more) but didn't think computers would become popular (it was the 1970's) and didn't patent them. Woz stole the ideas for the first apple PC's.

    When stationed in North Carolina for a summer I witnessed it on a daily basis. One of my barrack mates would think it was funny to ring his socks out on the floor after PT. He had to have lost a pint per day. It was sick, disgusting yet totally awesome.

    Basically, yes, although I think some reclassifying is going on.

    Yes you did - do ice cubes float or sink in your drinks?

    Edit - forgot to add anything.

    No, I didn't know that.

    Did you know that all the real teas, including all the types of black, green and white teas, are from the same plant, with the difference being how the leaves are processed?

    No, and that seemed so odd I looked it up and learned that, as per the government, there is only one time zone used (Beijing standard time) but geographically it spans 5 time zones. Wow, would that ever be a nuisance for everyone not in Beijing.

    Did you know that the province of Newfoundland and Labrador keeps a time zone that is 3.5 hours less than GMT (not 3, not 4, but 3.5).
