Icebreaker Game Did you know that... ? (YES or NO)

[Stanthropical]

Post a known fact in a form of "Did you know that...?" question and the next person will answer with either NO or YES. The person answers, then posts their own "Did you know" fact.

Be honest, or just don't participate. You could wait for a question which you can answer YES to. There's no shame in being ignorant to potentially useless facts.

Feel free to challenge a false fact with a correction. Adding to your YES answer with additional fun fact related to the same subject matter is welcome.
