We have all been there, randomly Googling terms or browsing Wikipedia in a futile effort to entertain ourselves. Now, Google has made wasting time easier than ever with "fun facts."
Just type "fun facts" into the Google search bar and you will get a fun fact at the top of your search results.
Such information nuggets obtained in this way: geese were the first bird domesticated by man, there are about 1,500 potentially active volcanoes in the world, and Elton John is indeed a knight.
Of course, the facts gleaned from Google are only as good as their sources -- some stem from Wikipedia, while others come from news organizations, government websites and other reputable places.
For those who haven't seen the new Google logo, this gives them a chance to bring up the site, pass judgement, and then learn some new facts to impress or annoy friends with.
