  Initially I agreed, but actually I think it stands. The design is similar enough, regardless of era. Honestly, I really do wish this kind of design would come back

  Fun factoid of the day: The Nintendo 2DS only actually has one screen. Go ahead, open one up, you’ll see…

      Interesting. I might research that on the toilet tonight, or just drop the word factoid from my vocabulary.

      Regardless, clowns still have to go to college, while politicians do not. Fun fact of the day!

        i wrote it on the toilet before bed, so that seems apt.

      Funner follow-up: this definition is correct and true to the original usage of “factoid”, however, the alternative definition meaning “a small or minor fact” has been used often enough that it’s generally accepted, and appears in several dictionaries. Ain’t English grand!?
