OBJECTION!

Contray to popular belief, Thomas Crapper DID NOT make the toilet- although he DID have many toilet related inventions to make it more effiecent, and was a famous plumber guy apparrently, the first modern flush toilet was invented in the 1750s by some guy who was so ridiculed for his invention that he discarded the idea after making one and never talked about it again.

Now, more random trivia:

Johnny Depp lost his virginity when he was 13.
Czarress Catherine of Russia in the 1700s locked up her hairdresser because the hairdresser gave you a good haircut. Catherine didn't want the hairdresser to make anyone else's hair and have haircut around Catherine's greatness.
In the Dark Ages, there was no heir to the czar in Russia, but then some guy calimed he was the heir to the throne- then the people found out he was Polish, and launched him via Catapault to Poland. no one knows if he survived or not.
Leonardo Da Vinci created the air Plane, Tank, Submarine, and Giant Crossbow on paper, along with many more, but none were ever actually made- when they were made more recently, his ideas were many times found to work. He also made a simple moving knight robot. In the 1500s.
There is a secret Catacomb under the Magic Kingdom in Disney world where all the high tech stuff is held.
George Washington had slaves while he was President in Philidelphia, which was against the law because Pennsylvania was a free state and he owned the only slaves in Philidelphia- but he was president. Then, when a slave of his escaped, George Washington sent the U.S. Army after the slave, when they finally caught the slave in Conneticut, another free state, and dragged the slave back to Philidelphia, breaking three federal laws while he was at it.
When making the Music Video One based off the (awesome) book Johnny got his Gun, Metallica found it would be cheaper to buy the rights to the movie to have it featured in their music video then renting the rights, so they bought it.

This is all off the top of my head, I would have more, but mez likez mez trivias.

EDIT: And, for Da Vinci's handwriting, you forgot he wrote backwards with one hand and forwards with the other- AT THE SAME TIME!

- LittleBigPlanet is indeed not little, as the title so implies =D

- Sackboy's zipper is purely aesthetic, and cannot really be "unzipped".

- Fact number two was indeed, a lie...Spongy organs may be found inside Sacky.

- Sackboy's skin is hard enough to withstand a sandpaper level.

- Contrary to popular belief, Sackgirl is NOT really a SackGIRL, per say.

- 98.3% of LBP facts are made up on the spot.

- Sackboy was inspired by the ancient mythological being, Athos.

- Contrary to most factoids out there, 99.4% of all LBP facts are made up on the spot.

- The concepts of LittleBigPlanet were discovered in an ancient temple in Greece; It contained all the information that LBP is now based on. The concept was titled "λίγο μεγάλο πλανήτη"

- The motto: "Play Create Share", was taken from the inscription of the dramatical arts book of Nephesus. The book contained play on words which if translated into Ye Olde English, would mean "Playeth, Createth and Shareth with thine other for the peace and prosperity of mankind"

- The idea to include Sackgirl in LittleBigPlanet was due to the rising issues of sexism. The first ever preview of the very early build of the game, which did not include any form of Sackgirl, was used to put down the developers of the game and mark them as "ignorant ancient concept stealing sexists". The first ever preview was deleted for obvious reasons, and a female version of Sackboy was added into the game shortly after.

All the above facts by the user Stix489 were made up...YARLY!
