Top Facts of All Time - OMG Facts - 1 views

Christopher Holt on 16 Oct 13Since factual knowledge is needed for critical thinking skills, I thought that OMG facts might be a good addition to my list. However, since this is a curious website on the wild wild web, I figure that it might be useful in a lesson about how citations and peer review work in academia. That is to say, you could ask students to consider how we know that this information is true. You can even teach them the word "epistemology"! It's also kind of fun, and I reckon the information is generally considered true.
