actually its only 4.27 lightyears to the nearest star, that is if you dont count the sun, which would take 8 minutes to get to from earth..

Yeah, that's why I said, "the farthest visible star".

In 1800 only 50 cities on Earth had a population of at least 100,000.

Until the modernization of China, and to some extend still today, the Chinese did the following things:
When they met a friend they shook their own hand.
When serving tea they placed the saucer over the cup(to keep it warm.
They drank hot beverages to keep cool.
After bathing they dried themselves with wet towels.
When constructing a house they built the roof first.
Their compasses pointed south, not north.
They said "westsouth" instead of "southwest".
Their surname came first.
They read books from back to front and put footnoted at the top of the page.

The Earth weighs 6,588,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 tons.

One 75 watt light bulb gives more light than three 25 watt light bulbs.

Some of the China ones are hard to believe though.

They tried that on mythbusters. I don't think punching or kicking them worked. They used some special tools to break the windows, both involving points. They didn't try them directly but I'd imagine a regular hammer or a screwdriver could work. Any way of concentrating a large amount of force into a small area.

They said without a gadget it's better to let the car fill with water, then open the door and leave. That probably wouldn't work so well it the car was sinking the whole time.

This reminds me of something else I heard. I'll spoiler it, since it's a little sexual in nature.
A pig's orgasm apparently lasts 30 minutes

^ Uhm, that was actually proven to be false. Apparently some or other scientist actually took the time to test this and found out that a duck's voice (quack) does indeed resonate, albeit more softly than other sounds.
