True Facts

True Facts has a lot of interesting items although without attribution it's hard to know whether they're really true or not. Here's a random sampling:
One in every 4 Americans has appeared on television.

Seven percent of Americans claim they never bathe at all.

If you hook Jell-O up to an EEG, it registers movements almost identical to a human adult's brain waves.

Married men change their underwear twice as often as single men.
Update: according to the Jell-O museum website — clearly an authority on this matter — the Jell-O / EEG fact is true:
[On] March 17, 1993, technicians at St. Jerome hospital in Batavia test a bowl of lime Jell-O with an EEG machine and confirm the earlier testing by Dr. Adrian Upton that a bowl of wiggly Jell-O has brain waves identical to those of adult men and women.
Oh it's lime Jell-O. That makes more sense.
