It is 43.8% of all facts are made up on the spot....Ha, ha  --  Look into the South and North Pole facts and you will find the only about 45 days during the summer and winter solstice are total darkness and light, The Sun actualy looks as if it goes in a circle just above the horizone for several weeks leading up to this event. Great facts though, I love this kind of goofy stuff....!     Like did you know a Rat can not fart, and niether can a seagull, that if why they "explode" when you throw them alchiseltzers.....
