> People find joy in discovering weird facts. I might be being pedantic, but I think of it a little differently. We don't even need to grace these collective nouns with words like fact for them to still be fun. There isn't really a 'fact of the matter' as to whether there's really such a thing as a 'parliament of owls'; it's just a fuzzy matter of adoption in the English language. I think of it more like knowledge of your favourite TV show, or fiction book. There's a sense in which it's 'real knowledge', and a sense in which it's not, but the point isn't for it to be useful.
