Facts too often suffer from being boring. Allow me to present some place where facts, can be, and actually are, fun!
The Library of Congress Science Reference Services put together Everyday Mysteries . You can type things in the search box and find out things like:
Who Invented the TV dinner? (yummy photos!)
Can zebras be domesticated? (I don't want to ruin this one, but some of you may be disappointed.)
Other good places to hunt out facts are resources listed in bibliographies. The Library of Congress Science Reference Services has many fine research guides that have such bibliographies. Perhaps you think, "Oh, bibliography...boring." Not so! Check out some of these:
Picnics
The Science of Smell
African American Women in the Military and at War
Beer and Brewing
See? Facts can be quite entertaining!
