> Hmm, I wonder about the accuracy of this To be fair, the article does say: >> But I didn't know this factoid. If you Google define:factoid, you'll see the definitions are like "something resembling a fact; unverified (often invented) information that is given credibility because it appeared in print". Looking at the suffix "-oid", it makes sense that the definition is akin to "similar to a fact." However, I don't think that's what the author intended. "Factoid" has come to mean, "a little fact", it seems.
