Holy Crap! Facts is another semi-stupid idea that’s turned into a small side project that may or may not survive. Basically it’s a Twitter feed we (Joe and I) plan to update with crazy facts like “Shaquille O’Neal spends $23,000-per-month on gas for his cars” and “There are three times as many tanning salons as Starbucks in America” (which was the original inspiration for the site and came via Chet).
Got any facts to add?

Hi, I'm Noah. I am the co-founder of Percolate. I like writing on, thinking about and making stuff for the internet. I'm responsible for a few internet experiments like Brand Tags, likemind and My First Tweet. On this site I write about media, marketing, culture, technology and randomness. I like it when people email me.

Love the idea, Noah! Subscribed.
Half of the U.S. population lives within 50 miles of their birthplace. I’m still stunned about that one.
No place for comments on this site! I wanted to mention that although a rat can last longer than a camel without water, you cannot ride a rat through the desert!
So for some reason I was blocked on Holy Crap facts for being a spammer. Normally I wouldn’t be this catty or nitpicky (and I know that in my family, the women definitely don’t let the men get a word in edge-wise), but as a woman, I find it necessary to point out that more recent studies prove that women and men speak roughly the same amount of words (I actually read an even more recent article than the one below but can’t find it anymore – go figure!). http://www.livescience.com/health/070705_chatty_men.html
i hope it stays… it has been my best find all week, so may say that makes me lame… i like to say it makes me rad.
