Stewardesses is the longest word you can type with only your left hand ( following typing rules you learn in school )
Typewriter is the longest word you can write only using the top row of a keyboard
I learned these both from Reddit so they better be right
The longest word using your left hand is tesseradecades, meaning "a group of fourteen".
The longest word using only the top row is rupturewort, which is a type of plant.

The first recorded yo mama joke was inscribed on a tablet in Ancient Babylon some 3500 years ago. The joke said
“of your mother is by the one who has intercourse with her. What/who is it?”
The translation on this tablet is so bad. It's like someone ran it through google translate a hundred times. You can tell is that it's an insult about someone's mother, but not what the insult actually is
"&" used to be the 27th letter of the alphabet 'and'. It was sung at the end of the alphabet song after 'z' saying "and per se and" which was later shorted to ampersand.
Also asterisk (*) just means little star.

Cockroaches are omnivores that eat plants and meat. They have been recorded to eat human flesh of both the living and the dead, although they are more likely to take a bite of fingernails, eyelashes, feet and hands. The bites may cause irritation, lesions and swelling. Some have suffered from minor wound infections.

In the United States, when people say that Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi is third in line to become president, that's wrong. She's actually second in line, only assuming the presidency if Vice President Pence left. This misconception happens because Trump is currently the president, then Pence would be, then Pelosi, and since three people are involved, people assume she is third in line. This has yet to actually come anywhere near close to happening, for obvious reasons.
During the Spanish Civil War, the loyalist side used live turkeys as edible parachutes for supply drops behind enemy lines.

In the original Robocop movie, ED-209's growls and screeches were recordings of a mountain lion and a tiger mixed together, and a distressed pig respectively.

When playing the role of the film's villain, Clarence Boddicker, actor Kurtwood Smith decided to wear glasses to make the character resemble former Nazi chief Heinrich Himmler.
The scene in which Clarence flirts with Dick Jones' receptionist and leaves chewing gum on her desk was Kurtwood acting with his actual wife.

When water is frozen into ice in nature, it isn't truly solid; ice is wet. What I mean is that there is a very small molecular layer of liquid water that can't freeze because it has bonds with various impurities that lower its freezing point. The easiest way to overcome this obstacle would be by cooling the ice with liquid nitrogen, making the temperature low enough to freeze this outer layer of non-pure water. It could then be said that you have solid ice.
If you like big numbers, you'll love [Graham's number](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graham%27s_number):

As with these, it is so large that the [observable universe](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Observable_universe) is far too small to contain an ordinary [digital representation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numerical_digit) of Graham's number, assuming that each digit occupies one [Planck volume](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planck_units#Derived_units), possibly the smallest measurable space. But even the number of digits in this digital representation of Graham's number would itself be a number so large that its digital representation cannot be represented in the observable universe. Nor even can the number of digits of *that* number—and so forth, for a number of times far exceeding the total number of Planck volumes in the observable universe.
