We all have different life experiences, and because of that, we all have a unique set of knowledge floating around in our brains. You might know off the top of your head that Vigdís Finnbogadóttir was the first woman in the world to be elected president of a nation, or you might be able to list the capital cities of every single country without having to pause and think.
Some of us also have interesting information living rent free in our brains that might immediately lead to some follow-up questions. Reddit users have recently been sharing their “don’t ask how I know” fun facts, so we’ve gathered their most bizarre responses below. Enjoy reading through this list, and be sure to upvote the information that makes you wonder why in the world anyone would know that!

Most people put effort into "hiding the body" however what you need to focus on is ANYTHING that can link you TO the dead body.
"I don't know, he was dead when I got here!"
Don't say anything else. It's up to them to link fingerprints, DNA evidence etc. Anything else is just circumstantial evidence.
Of course you should avoid any circumstantial evidence to a dead person obviously if you can.

When Marie Antoinette was awaiting her execution , Her best friend Marie-Thérèse Louise de Savoie Carignan, Princess of Lamballe was taken and tried..They offered her grace only if she swore to Liberty and Equality, and hatred of the King and Queen. She agreed to the first part but refused to claim hatred and denounce her best friend even after her father begged her to in order for her life to be spared..... she was taken to a slaughter yard and a mob brutally m**dered her. Then... the mob decapitated her and crudely impaled her head on a pike... and then placed the pike on front of Marie's cell window so she could see what had become of her best friend and what fate awaited her.
