Random Facts – I love sites that offer a ‘random’ feature (such as photo galleries or funny videos) because of the surprise element they offer. You never know what will come up next – isn’t it exciting? So it shouldn’t come as a total surprise that Random Facts does just that beautifully. Moving your way around this site is simple; click on the Next Fact Button, and you’ll see an interesting fact for you to contemplate on. In addition, you have the option of learning more arbitrarily organized facts within the same category. Here are my personal favorite categories on Random Facts: Marriage, Dogs, Dolphins and China facts.
