#801 "It's not possible to tickle yourself" -- that's not true. There are some people who can tickle themselves. I'm one of them. That fact is misinformation.

Just saw that from a blog. Im glad to get this clear in the first place.
'Real Fact' #868. Thomas Jefferson invented the coat hanger.
"Hi yes so snapple fact #196 is completely false. My friend and I calculated the amount of money you would have if you double a penny every day for 30 days. Your fact said that we would get $5,368,709.12. We got broke more than 10 million when we calculated it. Get your facts straight!"
That's only if you start doubling the penny on the first day (that is you start with 2 cents on the first day). Then you get $10,737,418.24. I think it's more likely you start with 1 cent on the first day that's doubled on the second and on which equals the value in fact #196.
some of these facts seem to good to be true, but then again a lot caught me out as a surprise. good post!
