Here's Tumblr going in on the wondrous life of Gotz von Berlichingen. If only we could all be so lucky to live a life as fruitful as the drunken warrior poet with an iron hand. The people of Tumblr know their weird history and are jazzed about letting other people know, hence this awesome tumblr thread about messed up history facts.

Sometimes it feels like work takes up more of our free time than it should, and sadly, not many of us are given an opportunity to actually do anything about it. When this guy's self-titled "boss" told him that he'd have to work on vacation, he figured out a way to get what he wanted and also make it more miserable for the jerk who tried to tell him what to do. Check this out for a story of a guy who got petty email revenge on the company that fired him.

A UK steakhouse got some free publicity over the awesome fail of a server who mistakenly served a crazy expensive wine. Seems like a win to be the person who finished dinner and only afterwards realized they drank a bottle of wine that's worth a car. Seriously, each sip of that is worth like 200 dollars. Anyway, it seems like the restaurant was cool about the mistake, so that's nice.

This one's for the dinosaur kids. This Tumblr thread goes into the gritty details of the lengths artists and scientists went to to make the amazingly realistic effects in Jurassic Park. Turns out the film leaves an incredibly interesting legacy. Pretty cool rigs, man.

A viral AskReddit thread's filled with mind-blowing, but simple facts to satisfy someone's 4-year-old daughter's daily request for 1 fact before bedtime.

 The ensuing facts are all kinds of fascinating. No way do you need to be a kid to get a kick out of these. I mean, come on; there's an island inhabited only by armies of bunnies? Dude, hell yes. Or how about Queen Bees being fed a special kind of honey that evolves them like a Pokémon when they're chosen by their hive. The world is full of madness, and it is a beautiful thing. We're always going to be ready for more mind-blowing, fun facts. 

Take this bunch of interesting and useless facts to keep your bored brain vaguely entertained on a Monday! You might just learn something, but there's no guarantees that it's actually true...

With a little ingenuity, something really simple or previously unusable can be turned into something incredibly useful or fun. There's some interesting innovations on pizza boxes, shopping baskets and more serious things that seek to make the world a more convenient and safer place.

These people are the very definition of badass. Get inspired over their badass accomplishes from the comfort of your Couch Potato lifestyle. God knows I am. 

Some of your favorite sayings may have actually been invented to say exactly the opposite of what they now mean. Hey, you learn something new every day, right? Here's another enlightening thread on something that might be near and dear to you.

A security camera captured what happened when four men were caught in some high winds, including their attempt to secure a wild umbrella. One guy jumps on and straight up Mary Poppinses right out of frame. They were fine, but damn.

This makes me unexplainably happy. Who knew that awesome dragon head drawings were the key to that crazy passing emotion called happiness. Check out the rest of Iguanamouth's Tumblr profile over here!

We googled almost all of them and they seem legit. So memorize a few of these if you wanna impress a first date. That said, we totally don't have your back for the second one, when they figure out your idiotic ruse. Anyway, here are some facts, and if you wanna feel even smarter then here's some more.

Warm up your eye muscles and mix up some pre-workout. It's not photoshop, it all might see impossible, but it's all perspective. You may find yourself double-taking all over the place while looking at these real-life optical illusions. And if your in the mood to strain your eyeballs some more, then check out these pics over here.
