If you accidentally drop your cellphone in your toilet it becomes wet.

Charlemagne (founder of Holy Roman Empire) received a pet elephant from Harun al-Rashid, the Caliph.
His empire was called the Carolingian Empire, which ended in 887, you could say. The Holy Roman Empire didn't start till 962. It did start out of one of the kingdoms the division of the Carolingian empire left, but I disgree that he's the founder of the Holy Roman Empire.

Or worse, when people twitch and beg you not to do it because they can't handle the noise.

Proper response is to stand up and crack your spine at them.

Proper response to that is a punch to the face because it's a disgusting sound and if you're going to rub it in you're a douchebag and deserve what's coming for you..

Wow Allo, you never seemed the knuckle-cracking type.
My sister keeps cracking her back and it's horrible.

My best friend has a "morning ritual" that involves clicking every bone he can possibly click.
I have no idea how he's alive, he's been doing it for over ten years now.

I do that at times as well, mostly after a good sleep and I stretch out a bit. Then comes the first click, followed by many more. Freaks out the relatives, but nothing happened so far.
Lets see, useless facts...
The Panama Canal has 3 locks, which all have the size 100 feet wide and 41 feet deep.
The sense of taste affects your waist.
William Harrison had one of (if not the only) shortest seat in the White House by a whooping 32 days before he died (by sickness, for a change).

After an hour of swimming in a public pool, your body has absorbed half a liter of urine.
During an average day, you have come into indirect contact with 15 penises, for example by taking the door handle.
In a year an average person has swallowed 14 insects in his sleep.
You inhale a liter of other peoples' anal gases daily.
To bite your nails is equal to licking clean the toilet. (You get the same amount of bacteria in your mouth)

Really enjoyable read that, though I'm imagining it all as read by Saint Stephen of Fry...

The plate armor of European soldiers did not stop soldiers from moving around or necessitate a crane to get them into a saddle. They would as a matter of course fight on foot and could mount and dismount without help. In fact soldiers equipped with plate armor were more mobile than those with chainmail armor, as chainmail was heavier and required stiff padding beneath due to its pliable nature
sick of people telling me i'm basically as a heavy as stone in plate armor in rp

It is not harmful to baby birds to pick them up and return them to their nests, despite the common belief that doing so will cause the mother to reject them.[164] Some birds have limited sense of smell, and many species primarily rely on visual cues. It is however still best to leave a baby bird alone, as the parents will usually be close by.[165]
This reminds me of the thread Shae made about the bird he found and people saying the mother would reject and it was harmful etc.

You're not a heavy stone but it limits movement to an extend, something that is often just ignored.
The weighted warriors then walked and ran on a treadmill while the research team measured their oxygen intake. Wearing the armor turned out to be a much greater burden than carrying the same weight in a backpack. Because the distribution of weight in the armor requires the wearer to use more energy to swing his arms or move his legs.
Armor wearers also wound up taking short, shallow breaths rather than the deep breaths associated with regular exertion. The researchers say that the tight, metal shell may have made the soldiers feel safer. But being weighted down probably made it a long day for a knight.

But that's stamina related, though. Rather than flexibility. Which I think was Pert's issue.
