I'm not even sure if some of these are real, but they are for sure interesting!!!
In 1962, the schools in Tanganyika had to be closed because of an outbreak of contagious laughter that lasted for six months!
In ancient China, doctors could receive fees only if their patient was cured. If it deteriorated, they would have to pay the patient. Niagara Falls experienced a break of half an hour in 1848, when an ice jam blocked the source river.
Spider webs were used to cure warts during the Middle Ages.
The custom of shaking hands with the strangers originated to show that both the parties were unarmed.
Kindof funny info...which one do you like the best?

The shaking hands one... but are you sure those are true facts Brennan?
I know that the fact about Niagara Falls is true. One morning, the whole community awoke and realized there was an eerie silence. Then they saw that the falls were blocked, and there wasn't any water falling. Interestingly, lots of people in the community ran to the church and started praying because they though it might be the wrath of God or something like that!
I know that the ones about shaking hands, Chinese doctors, and spider webs are true. Those are great!
