Hello Everyone! This is my first ever GOTW on any forums. I apologise if the game is lame.

This game is called A Game of Facts. You can choose your topic on ANYTHING. It can be Mahabharat, Religious, animals, famous person, anything.

I thought this would be a fun game to learn interesting facts of things we didn't know and have fun at the same time.

So Example:

If the post above me said: Chocolate

My reply would be: Chocolate is toxic. Eating 22lbs of it can kill a person :o

The person would then give another random item: e.g. Lobster

The next person would reply with a fact: Lobster has blue blood and so on.

You don't have to KNOW the fact, you can google an interesting fact that no one would have known about it. SO I will start as this is Mahabharat forum I will start with a Mahabharat related word.

I hope this is not confusing!

First: Ganga

Hanumanji sat on Arjun's chariot during the war of Kurukshetra. Karna had attacked Arjun's chariot so badly that it would have been destroyed had it not been for Hanumanji sitting on the chariot. When he left the chariot it exploded.
