If you toss a penny 10000 times, it will not be heads 5000 times...!!!!

Yes this fact is true , that if you toss a penny 10000 times then , it will not be heads 5000 times , but more like 4950. The heads picture weighs more , so it ends up on the bottom more often .

The smallest state in America has the longest official name!

That’s right - Rhode Island’s official state name is “The State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations”. You may think this moniker is scarcely used, but it actually appears on several of Rhode Island’s official documents, including its state seal and the original Royal Charter issued by King Charles II in 1663! The full name harkens back to the unification of the “Providence Plantations” settlement with nearby communities into a singular government. Last fall, members of the state legislature voted to keep the word “plantations” the official name, despite the fact that it is reminiscent of Rhode Island’s role in the slave trade.

A 19-year-old American girl eats five bars of soap per week.

Tempestt Henderson of Florida has an extremely rare medical condition called pica. This disorder gives her an appetite for substances which have little to no nutritional value! Others with the condition have been known to consume items such as coins, chalk, batteries, and toothbrushes. Tempestt says, "In the shower, I like to lather up a green bar of soap, and lick the bubbles. And as the soap disintegrates, I pop a tiny amount of the soap into my mouth and suck it. It's heavenly!" 

She has recently been receiving help in the form of behavioral therapy. Doctors have also encouraged her to go for long walks, making sure to avoid locations where soap is present, such as laundromats and bathrooms!

Despite the fact that this is an unhealthy habit that she's seeking help to overcome, she still agreed to do a photo shoot featuring her eating soap and laundry detergent.
