Rollerskates were originally invented as a means of escaping ghosts. People would normally freeze up from shock, but the wheeled shoes allowed for continued movement.

Ben Franklin not only discovered electricity, he also discovered fire.

The average Roman Solider was 12 inches tall, this is where we get the term foot soldier from.

Abraham Lincoln's mole was actually a piece of jewelry that was briefly popular in the 1830s.

President Taft once ate an entire bison for lunch.

Intelligent and bright, they explored a world that was new and strange to them. They liked it, they thought - a whole world just for them! They were dimly aware that a God had created them, was watching them; they called out to him, thanking him in a chittering language, before running off.
Teddy Roosevelt once arm wrestled a full grown grizzly bear and won. The bear was so ashamed he later committed suicide.

Speaking of arm wrestling, there is a professional arm wrestler known affectionately as Hellboy who, due to a genetic defect, has a massive right arm and thus is able to compete in a lower weight class because the rest of his body is so small.

This isn't made up and is actually true

That is unrelated to surgery though. In fact after the surgery the reason they tell you not to drink is because a) alcohol is empty calories and b) because of your newfangled insides you get drunk much, much easier and it's very easy to go from food addiction -> alcoholism if you're not careful.

I don't drink because I have a benign heart condition where alcohol and caffeine make my heart race and it's very uncomfortable.

You should definitely watch Chuck at least up until the last season. I watched the first episode of the last season almost a year ago and haven't been back since.
Six Feet Under is very good. Dexter Morgan before he was Dexter Morgan.
Speaking of, watch the first 4 seasons of Dexter.
Also White Collar is very good.
Burn Notice is excellent up to the very end.
Broadchurch is really good, but I've heard mediocre things about the recent second season. S1 is really, really good though.

Have you seen through Season 4? If so, I'd call it done. Season 4, they thought it was the last season so they wrapped it all up in a bow. Season 5 is not needed and a really different show in almost every way.

I'm wanting to watch sense 8, I've been hearing all good things about it.

Chuck is ok, I am midway through season 3 or 4 and Ill get back to it eventually.

Never watched Fringe, Six Feet Under, or Sports night.

True detective has been really good this season, I know it might be an unpopular opinion but I've been really enjoying it so far.

Dollhouse is great if you give it a chance and power through the first season, ultimately its worth it.

Dead like me is awesome and you should watch it if you haven't already.

Almost human was, just Ok.

There.

I really really wish I had stopped watching at the end of season four, it was a very poetic ending and I would have been super happy if it ended right there.
