I don't know if you would consider these interesting, but they're pretty random.

Fingernails grow faster than toenails.

Lake Ontario's original name was Lake St. Louis.

If you ride roller coasters you're more likely to develop a blood clot in your brain.

90% of the world's ice is located in Antarctica.

The volcano Kilauea has been erupting almost constantly for over 20 years.

If you run through the rain rather than walk, you won't reach your destination any drier.

Toothpicks are the most common cause of choking among Americans.

E is the most used letter in the English alphabet.

FACT: This Thread Sucks J/K
"Some people create with words, or with music, or with a brush and paints. I like to make something beautiful when I run. I like to make people stop and say, "I've never seen anyone run like that before." It's more then just a race, it's a style. It's doing something better then anyone else. It's being creative." -Steve Prefontaine
