Hilarious, dumb, or very unknown facts!

[WintertheWolf]

A'ight Furs!

I have been recently told that I know WAY too many useless and dumb facts. (Which is absolutely 1000% true) So, This is my chance to shine!

Here are the rules:

1. The fact obviously should be appropriate to the corresponding furtopia rules
2. The fact must be either really pointless, really dumb, really unknown, or really funny (or all of them)
3. You must list only 10 maximum, no more, no less. This has to be fair so you don't hog all of the facts
*Facts can only appear only once, no repeating, or similar facts.

LET THE GAMES BEGIN!!!!! *WOOF WOOF WOOF WOOF!!!*

Here are mine:
1. Every year, an average of about 3 people die putting their pants on.
2. Trombones are the only instrument with a slide(not including tuning slides)
3. There are more than 5 basic sexual orientations (Not counting intersex) (Ex. Straight, Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender are the basic ones) Though, there is one more. Which, is Asexuality, which means the people who are asexual aren't sexually attracted to anyone or anything, and are happy alone. Bonus: Asexuality affects only 1% of the population, and I am an asexual also! Yay me!
4.It is illegal to eat oranges while bathing in California.
5. The buzz from an electric razor in America plays in the key of B flat; Key of G in England.

The long underwear suit, or union suit, was first worn by women and originally called an "emancipation suit". The trap door, or seat flap, for answering the call of nature is also known as a "fireman's flap".  Some suits may only possess a criss-cross crotch arrangement. Variations of the classic underwear can still be found today.
