Little kids who ask "do you know what?" and immediately tell you all their favorite facts are my people

I did this so much as a small child that I was banned from using that phrase, I am always here for small children to tell me about dinosaurs or Iron Man or to rattle off their mom's cell phone number in delight

Please tell me your "do you know what" fact you're burning to share with someone today

Bringing this back, tell me your latest interesting fact because I’d love to hear it

@checkervest there was a politician called Horace Greeley (1811–1872) who stood against Ulysses S Grant in the US presidential election, and, obviously, lost it.

He ran a newspaper which promoted socialism, vegetarianism, teetotalism, and feminism; it had the first female Senate reporter, and *Karl Marx* as a foreign correspondent.

His wife died a week before the election. He'd called off campaigning to be with her. He died brokenhearted before the Electoral College met.
