The below entries are either entirely true or wildly false. I will leave it to you to decide. However, there is a 100% guarantee they will be stories. Or at least, story-esque. Stories can be everything from short fiction, to news reports, to lies. "What good is a lie in a blog called True Stories?", you may ask. I'm afraid I don't have that kind of knowledge, and frankly, I'm also afraid of anybody who does.

Unlikely Facts for 8/21/2010

• As the author Arthur C. Clarke once said, “Sufficient technology is indistinguishable from magic.” Unfortunately, technology has yet to develop an efficient way to pull a rabbit out of a hat.

• The traditional pizza has been around for centuries, but not much is known about its origins. I hear they come from a land Down Under.

• French, Spanish, and Italian (along with several others) are known as the Romance languages. This name comes from the half-French, half-Spanish, half-Italian (you should have seen this guy, three halves…he could use some reconstructive surgery) Explorer Emilio Giuseppe Jacques Romance, whose remains were recently recovered from the belly of an ancient sea monster.

• Several videogame developers have reported an increase in sales recently, probably because videogames are the only safe way to prepare our youth for the horrors of fast-food labor. Burger Time was never like this.

• People with green eyes cannot see dogs. Or what makes kids love Cinnamon Toast Crunch. I imagine their lives are very difficult.
