Also did you know that each set of cards represent four important men in history.
King of Spades: King David of Israel
King of Clubs: Alexander the Great
King of Hearts: Charlemagne
King of Diamonds: Caesar Augustus
Weird thing is the Charlemagne, the king of hearts, is usually depicted with a beard. When the king of Diamonds and Clubs are shown without beards.

Also, a little thing I think about is the King of Hearts has his sword through his head. I think he does this because well the King of Hearts is usually a symbol of love and since the heart is a symbol for the heart, I think the king is like doing that because of a relationship he had with the Queen of Hearts. Weird...I know but I always do things like this when it come to small things.

Spiral staircases in medieval castles are running clockwise. This is because all knights used to be right-handed. When the intruding army would climb the stairs they would not be able to use their right hand which was holding the sword because of the difficulties in climbing the stairs. Left-handed knights would have had no troubles except left-handed people could never become knights because it was assumed that they were descendants of the devil.

You can actually tickle yourself...the roof of your mouth try it. Freaky huh!

Also, an onion, a potato, and an apple have the same taste it is just the smell that gives it the taste. If you hold your nose and take a bite of them both they taste sweet.

Walt Disney never signed his name like the famous Disney logo. Yep...it is true. He was also scared of mice.

The Great Chicago Fire, which well happened in Chicago and burned down a lot of homes, started in a barn, and no not by a cow, but it did start in a barn that was owned by Patrick and Katherine O'Leary. Their house actually survived, and it was actually guarded by police so people would not attack the man and his wife.

The reason why schoolhouses long ago were painted red because red was the lest expensive color.

Random Facts that I actually know...I just find these things and like remember them and at random times in my life I say them to people.
