Those are some cool facts. I didn't know that coke would be green without coloring. That's actually cooler than the current color.

Wow. A pig. THat's really random. I think everyone tried to make themselves faint by holding their breath. It's really wierd.

Those are all really interesting(and slightly pointless) facts. I actually thought the funniest one was the convicted pig although the "can't kill yourself by holding your breath" was kinda cool too.
