for a fun time at a party, wait for folks to imbibe, break out an internet-connected device, and suggest that folks do an image search for "duck penis".

Badminton has a legitimate claim to the title of World's Fastest Racquet-Based Sport. Smashes of badminton birdies have been clocked at double the initial speed of top men's tennis serves.

The maximum speed achieved by the shuttlecock vs the maximum speed achieved by the tennis ball. (Admittedly, by its very nature, the badminton shuttlecock decelerates from its maximum speed at a more dramatic rate than a tennis ball.)

In Canada, they sell milk in bags.

related fact: the 1-liter bags used for milk are made of a relatively thick plastic.  many canadians, being the frugal people that they are, cut the tops off the bags, clean them, and re-use them.  you now have another reason to think canadians are weird.
