Blow my mind away with facts

What simple observations have you made that make you marvel about life/existence? I'll start:

Every sperm has it's own personality.

Go!

we are closer in time to cleopatra than she was to the great pyramids

If the universe operates on digital physics, what happens when we saturate the bits?

This blew my mind when I found it out anyway -

All Snapple drinks contain a fun fact underneath the cap.

What if there exists only a single electron in the universe, propagating through space and time in such a way as to appear in many places simultaneously? (source)

Not a fact, but:

What if there were a disease that got worse the more you thought about it? As soon as someone discovered it everyone would start getting sick and thinking about it and there would be a global pandemic. The only people left would be very uninformed people (many people in tribes, probably), crazy people, those with short term memory loss, and maybe some people who are immune. Man, it would be crazy.

Isn't it amusing that this combination of symbols creates an inner voice in your head?

It gets to a point when you think "is this ketchup, or just lube with added flavorings?"
