I dropped my jaw reading some of the facts until I saw the end of the video. Now I'm disappointed because some of the facts were really cool. Obama being able to detonate a nuclear bomb with his cell phone was kinda scary though...

I know I did too haha they were really interesting. But the "fact" that all couples in the U.S. that were married by the age of 30 were gonna be gay/lesbian by 2020 gave it away haha.
P.S. interesting fact: most of the video is fake (I didn't want to ruin it for the people who were gonna see it but since we are already talking about it haha)

Glad we're friends now and that video seemed so much more gloomy than the original. The Obama cell phone nuclear bomb thing scared me too and that first fact about China and university degrees shocked me. What about all of the people living in poverty in China? Sooo glad all of those are not 100% accurate.

They are saying that in the United States 100% of marriages before the age of 30 by 2020 will be gay marriages... I find that hard to believe.
Lol, then I saw it got by the end. Also, extrapolation is great and everything but I don't believe in the half the size twice the capacity rule.

Ya like I said that's what kind of gave it away for me, though I was still very interested in everything else it was saying haha. Btw what are you referring to in the 2nd part of your statement

Interesting Fact: Some animals you find on Wikipedia when searching around randomly are very weird.
For instance, the Portuguese Man-O-War. Not one animal; but actually a colony. Looks like it could be a Pokemon if it really wanted to be:

There's a rule that states after a certain amount of time things get half the sized but double the capacity. It refers mainly to electronics.

Did You Know? Obama has prepared a bill that will not only outlaw hetero marriage but force every man, woman, and child into a gay marriage against their will. All he has to do is text message the phrase 'GO_GAY' to the president of ACORN and congress will be forced to pass the bill.

Ya I've heard that rule for electronics, except I didn't really here it will half size each time. I just heard that everything will double in "capacity" or "performance" every 18 months. Its some sort of rule some guy figured out.

I think that's Moore's law, and it has been true for a long time. Transistors are approaching maximum smallness though, so to keep this law true, someone is going to have to invent a whole new technology.... or make everything bigger :p.

Interesting Fact: Menstruation is spelled wrongly (without the "u") at the end of the spoof.

Moore's law! That's right . Yeah, I don't think it's possible that the law can be true for a very extended period of time (like 100 years). It just doesn't seem feasible.
