I was with much time in my hands, so I doing this only for fun. Enjoy and if you want to contribute with others useless facts to help survive in Skyrim, be my guest...

-Even without tessellation from DirectX 11, the hair of an advlt man or woman can stretch 25 % of its length without breaking...

-The human brain is insensitive to pain; also, your brain is 80 % water, so if you are VERY, VERY thirsty, you are a prisoner somehow and without any possibility of drinking water in other way and you want to survive... Nevermind...

-In humans, the right lung takes in more air than the left lung.

-The tongue is the strongest muscle in the human body.

-Human teeth are almost as hard as rocks!

-When you're sleeping, you have no sense of smell. And when a person dies, hearing is usually the last sense to go.

-There are 206 bones in the advlt human body (and 25 % of them are located in you feet). I'm not sure if all they can break... I guess so.

-The temperature of the Nirn's interior increase by 1 degree every 60 feet down.

-Forest fires move faster uphill than downhill.

-The best time for you to buy shoes or boots from traders in Skyrim is in the afternoon. This is because your foot tends to swell a bit around this time. And there are no socks in Skyrim.

-Wine will spoil if exposed to light; hence tinted bottles!

-An apple (BTW, apple seeds are poisonous!), potato and onion all taste the same if you eat them with your nose plugged !

-Mammoths can't jump.

-Dragons are sacred to the Empire, and have aided them in ancient wars.

-Even a small amount of alcohol placed on a scorpion will make it go crazy and sting itself to death...

-Bats always turn left when exiting a cave.

That was a fun read. xD

interesting :snoring:

Some very neat facts there.

That was GREAT :tops:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=thbSSuo1Z00 The starting fire with ice is true!

Hehe, nice read

Wow. I knew you could make ice explode from thermite but this? This is just awesome.

:lmao: good read good read.


The Recent influx of Dragons seen so far aren't hostile, if your a pure warrior with no ranged weapons its unlikely you can piss them off short of flipping the birdy and calling their mothers a half eaten Lizard.

Thier are pits all across Skyrim were various warriors go to prove their worth, a token from each pit is required to Enter Windhelms Grand Arena.'


Nords are drunk 90% of the time, the other 10 percent involves sleep.

Don't run into a cave when fleeing from a Dragon, the resulting fire blast will make an oven out of the entire cave.

- Beware of thin ice. You may crack the ice fall in or worse be grabbed by your heels by a vampire who lives beneath the ice. Both may lead to drowning and hypothermia. The latter may have you joining the ranks of the undead.

- Be careful and watch your step in the volcanic tundra, may get a jet of hot boiling water in the posterior.

- Do not stand on the side of Makarth Side, its a long drop.

Skyrim Survival tip: Don't eat the yellow snow.

Really makes you wonder just who sat down one day and went, "Hey! I can make a magnifying glass out of ice!"

The Volkihar vampires of eastern Skyrim live under haunted, frozen lakes and only leave their dens to feed. They have the power to freeze their victims with icy breath, and can reach through the ice of their frozen lake dens without breaking the ice.

At least according to lore.

Skyrim Survival tip: Don't eat the red snow!

so if i see a giant scorpion all i need to do is throw a bottle of hooch at it. :celebration:

It doesn't really work as a Skyrim fact if you just take real-world facts and add TES-related places in place of the real-world ones. The universe works differently.

skyrim survival tip #2: if the yellow snow is steaming....run

these are pretty amusing... too bad most of them aren't true.




no it's not, also the tongue is 16 muscles



no it doesn't



No they are not




:facepalm:

someone missed the word 'FUN' in the thread title. LOL

who pee'd in your cheerios? :tongue: true or not they are still fun

well my cheerios did taste funny this morning...

What the hell does this stuff have to do with Skyrim?

At death, I'm pretty sure all the senses 'go' at the same time.

Interesting! :goodjob:

A decapitated head still has it's sight for roughly 20 seconds.

Like I said, this is somehow a fun thread but even that...

-"Iron weighs more after it rusts." Seems true because the iron bonds with oxygen, so the weight becomes the original weight of iron plus the original weight of oxygen. Unless something I miss in equation...

-"When you're sleeping, you have no sense of smell"... When I sleep, my brain is too busy processing dirty dreams (my favorite is with Olivia Wilde :tongue: ) No room in my little brain to smell... :sleep2:

-"All snow bears are left handed... And nobody seems to know why" ... Until proven otherwise (show me a snow bear right handed, :teehee: ) this is true. just kidding... :lmao: Amazing creatures the snow bears...

-"The tongue is the strongest muscle in the human body"... The tongue is 16 muscles all together, not only one, you right... But it his the strongest especially in those who never tired of talking, like my friend last weekend, you know, he drink to much and then start talking about the work and the boss who has a bastard and is not taking holidays since last wear and the girlfriend has a b**** ... OHHHH... Nevermind... :slap:

Cheers!

:tes: Always in my mind...
