Fun fact: A factoid is something that seems like it could be a fact but is in fact false. I know it's commonly misused as a synonym of "fact" and I don't really care, it's evolving as a word and that's fine. But I really enjoy the sentence "Fun fact: A factoid is something that seems like it could be a fact but is in fact false." so I can't help but share :D
