I bet many of you never knew these obscure interesting facts. I'm also sure you never gave any of these trivial facts any thought either. But like a good quote here are a couple of facts I found which you can spring on someone to impress them with your amazing knowledge of useless information. BIRTHDAYS ARE NOT ALWAYS HAPPY OCCASIONS -Did you know these famous people died on their birthday? INGRID BERGMAN. the Oscar-winning Casablanca star. WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE. considered the greatest playwright and dramatist in the English language. GEORGE "MACHINE GUN" KELLY, bootlegger and gangster during the prohibition period and criminal who made the FBI's Most Wanted List. And if you did know that fact then here's another.... A Swiss study showed humans are 13.8 percent more likely to die on their birthday than on any other day of the year. Um, sharing that fact may not make you the "life of the party." DO YOU SUFFER FROM POGONOPHOBIA -Or should I say how do you feel about beards? "Pogonophobia" is a term used to describe someone who is afraid of beards! Especially those big bushy ones that collect bacteria and other stuff in them, yikes. Famous beard wearers: Abraham Lincoln, Leonardo da Vinci, and ZZ Top's Dusty Hill and Billy Gibbons. Do you like beards and can you name a famous beard wearer? Hope you got a kick out of these oddities. Which fact did you enjoy learning about? Source info- Best Life

And you probably wouldn't know it at that point anyway. One of those obscure interesting facts trivia people come up with I guess.

I am not a fan of beards. I can take moustaches though my late husband has one most of his life. I loved it when ZZ guest starred on the TV show Bones,

Lucy missed that one in her session with Charlie Brown about what he suffers from. I like beards. I can't think of any famous people right now that have them. I've heard that about people dying on their birthdays.

@just4him Yes, Santa the so obvious easy to forget. Fun fact: Prince Harry has been rocking a beard regularly since 2015. It's his signature look. He even got special permission from his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, to sport his signature scruff during his wedding to Meghan Markle in May.

There are a lot of men with beards around now. Some don't look too clean at times.

Now, I never had a Grizzy Adams Beard Other famous beard wearers: Santa Claus, Actor Jeff Bridges, John “Grizzly” Adams, Prince Harry and Mr. T.

I enjoyed the fact of persons who die on their birthday since my late mom always believed in birthday curses.
