"O Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo?" doesn't mean what you probably think it does.

The most famous line from William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, is quite often misinterpreted. This is due to the differences between the Early Modern English of Shakespeare's time and its next evolution, our Modern English.

In this balcony scene, Juliet is not asking where Romeo is! She instead wants to know why Romeo is a Montague and she a Capulet (their families historically despise each other).

In this sense "wherefore?" is more accurately defined as meaning "for what purpose?"

Click here for a full breakdown of the famous balcony scene. Just in case you were confused by what "a rose by any other name would smell as sweet" means.

Yoshi is a male.

Since the release of Super Mario World on the SNES in 1990, Yoshi has been a staple in the Super Mario Bros. series. Despite all these appearances, Mario's trusty froggy-dinosaur-horse...thing has rarely displayed a clear gender!

It is a well-known fact among gamers that all Yoshis lay eggs. Does this mean they are female? Not necessarily! In the Japanese version of 2001's Super Smash Bros. Melee for the Nintendo GameCube, it is stated on the Yoshi trophy that Yoshis reproduce asexually, meaning that they are neither male nor female because they do not need a mate in order to propagate.

However, in the sequel Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Otacon (from the Metal Gear Solid series) claims that Yoshi is a male! That should clear up the matter. After all, Otacon is a scientist.

This rigorous analysis on this most serious of topics is all thanks to the Mario Wiki article on Yoshis. We had to get to the heart of this matter due to our slavish devotion to the truth!... and we're huge video game nerds (sigh).

No matter how nice the hotel room you get is, there will probably be urine and semen stains in it.

In an ABC News Primetime investigation, producers discovered bodily fluid stains in ALL 20 hotel rooms surveyed, no matter the price. Most of these stains are not visible to the naked eye, but they were found everywhere - on the beds, carpets, walls....even on the Bible!

Despite the alarmingly gross results, these stains are completely harmless - no microbes are growing on them because they are dried and sterile. Fortunately, the survey's results convinced many of the hotel managers to train their cleaning staffs to use black lights!

Actor Bela Lugosi was buried wearing his Dracula cape.

This is according to a Bela Lugosi biography written by his son that can be found on the official Bela Lugosi website.

Fat baby boys are more likely to have sex earlier in their lives.

Boys who gain the most weight in their first six months of development go on to be taller and stronger as adults, which increases the likelihood that they will lose their virginity sooner!

The reason those first six months are important is because the babies are making the best use of the testosterone that is coursing through their tiny bodies. Testosterone is a male sex hormone that affects muscle and bone growth in babies, and sexual development in young adults.
