Cliffs:
Not a single one of your ancestors has ever failed in getting laid (To all those who are forever alone, YOU MUST NOT BREAK THE CHAIN)
If you are 80 years old, you have lived through over 1/3 of America's history
At one point, you were the youngest person in the world.
When you receive a birthday card in the mail, it often has a chip that sings "Happy Birthday" to you. Remarkably, that chip has more computer power than all the Allied forces of 1945. Hitler, Churchill, or Roosevelt might have killed to get that chip. But what do we do with it? After the birthday, we throw the card and chip away. Today, your cell phone has more computer power than all of NASA back in 1969, when it placed two astronauts on the moon. Video games, which consume enormous amounts of computer power to simulate 3-D situations, use more computer power than mainframe computers of the previous decade. The Sony PlayStation of today, which costs $300, has the power of a military supercomputer of 1997, which cost millions of dollars.
Dinosaurs were alive for longer than they have been extinct.
The "food pyramid" that most of us grew up with was published by the US dept of agriculture. Their job is to promote agriculture, not to promote healthy eating.
The sky is underneath you.
Many of the most profound thinkers in history were put to death for spreading the very same messages that we now consider to be cornerstones of our understanding of the universe.
Brakes were put in cars to allow people to go faster.
The iron in our blood was created in the final stages of a massive star's collapse and supernova.
We are quite literally all made of stars.
If a woman who is an only child has all boys (or no children at all), they are ending a chain of women that has been going since we were single-celled organisms.
The average human is a 28 year old Chinese man.
Psychology is the brain trying to understand itself.
Every time you breathe oxygen you are, at the same time, killing yourself and giving yourself life. Oxygen is highly toxic to our bodies and is the main culprit to aging and eventual death, but without it we die within minutes.
There is almost certainly a species of aliens somewhere wondering if they're alone or not.
You breathe using just one nostril, then switch to the other 30 minutes later. Repeats for life.
Your genitals were in direct contact with your mothers vagina when you were born.
In 30 or 40 years, people will be having 2000s parties. Just like now people throw "dress like the 70s" parties.
Many of the stars you see in the night sky could have died hundreds of thousands, millions, even billions of years ago, the universe being that vast.
the Earth is spinning at 1000mph on its axis, we're orbiting the sun at 67,000 mph, our solar system is orbiting a fixed point in the Milky way at 490,000mph, and our local cluster of galaxies is also rotating at 2,500,000mph.
Your eyes limit you to seeing only a small part of the light spectrum. There is a whole range of light that is completely incomprehensible to you.
Confusion is you being on the border of your current maximum knowledge. (strong learning motivation)
This is the oldest you have ever been and the youngest you will ever be.

John Lennon is part of a group that has sold more CD's than anyone else in the history of human life, and he never knew what a CD even was.
Grossness and morals define each other. For example, you won't spit in the mouth of your girlfriend, yet you will kiss her.
Every time you expel semen or menstrual fluid, it contains the genesis of a child you could have loved for the rest of your life. (brb fapping)
The only reason that the night sky appears black is because of interstellar dust and gas. Otherwise you would be able to see the light from every star within approximately fourteen billion light years, and the sky would glow white.
The universe is expanding. Due to this fact, visible light has been redshifted into the infrared. The sky IS bright in every direction in infrared.
A change of plans has probably saved your life before. (Opposite also applies)
You are probably allergic to some food that's not commonly consumed in your country.
There's a really hot person who you are compatible with out there and you'll die without meeting them.
Also, you spend years seeing the same people often and you'll never exchange words with them.
You were unconsciously breathing just now... and blinking.
Most men see more urinals daily than most women see in a year. (Didn't blow my mind until I thought about it more)
The vast majority of numbers are very large numbers. (no matter what you define as a large number, there are still infinitely more numbers past it).
One day, bodybuilding.com will be non-existent.
You too will be forgotten in the sands of time.
People hundreds of years from now will stumble upon your image without thought or emotion.
One day, using the term "HD" or "1080p" to describe TVs will become outdated, just like "Full Color" is no longer necessary because nobody makes TVs that don't display full color.
The air you are breathing and the water you are drinking have been in an endless cycle on this planet for billions of years. You are drinking the same water dinosaurs drank, and breathing the same air.
Hitler thought he was doing a good job.
We magnify the differences between us, instead of the things that make us similar. You are not really any different than anyone else on earth that is your age, yet you feel like you are just because they speak a different language, eat different food, worship a different imaginary creature, or live somewhere else. In reality, we are all the same species living on the same planet. To bears, we probably look exactly the same.
The youngest mother in medical history was 5 years old. It makes you wonder about the generation gap for the people around you. Your best friend could be a thousand generations ahead of you. Your boss could be a hundred generations behind you. Makes sense considering he's an *******.
Many peoples most cherished beliefs come from 1st century writers and religious fanatics whose understanding of the natural world was below the level of a modern 5 year old.
These beliefs are considered unquestionable and are used for everything from determining who can get married, to the rights of women, how to justify war, how to punish people, what is moral, etc.
Even if you did somehow become immortal, there is a 100% chance that, eventually, you will become stuck in a place somewhere that you can never get out of.
You exchanged scraps of paper (or digital numbers w/e) for the computer you're using right now.
We're using our mind as a master instead of a tool. Freedom and truth are calling us all through our senses but we're too occupied by illusions to listen. The fact that everybody seems to do the same comforts us into continuing to live some sort of cosmic joke.
If 57 people are in the same room there is a 99% chance that 2 of them share the same birth day, 50% with 23 (birthday paradox) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox
Alcohol is a toxin, that's why it's called intoxicated.
You're on a rock sphere floating in a void just far and near enough from the sun and in a period of temporary calm that allows for biological life to flourish.
Our ability to treat (not cure) most cancers is understood to be relatively good, but our ability to detect it early is terrible. Ironically ,our ability to treat it successful has everything to do with detecting it early.
The moon gets further way from the earth every year (Not sure how accurate this explanation is but- The moon is moving away because the earth's spin is gradually slowing down, and angular momentum must be maintained. This will keep happening until the earth's spin is in sync with the moon's orbit, at which point the moon will stop moving away from the earth. At this time in the future, a single day will be around 47 times longer than now, and the same part of the earth will always be facing the moon (similar to how we only see one side of the moon)
You can't hear absolute silence. If you do, your blood being pumped will start to become audible.
Death (or nonexistence at least) is our default state of being. Before we're born we've already not existed for countless billions of years, then we'll be alive for 70 or 80 years, and then we'll continue not existing for countless billions of more years. Life is the anomaly, death is just a return to the normal
