Here are some things you don’t hear every day…
We recently asked the BuzzFeed Community to tell us their favorite science fact. Here's the totally out-there but fully fact-checked results.

By rough approximation, there are 1049 to 1050 atoms that make up Earth. To figure out how many combinations can be made from 52 cards, you simply have to multiply 52×51×50x49...etc. That means there are on the order of 1067 ways to shuffle a deck of cards!

“Humans are one of the few mammals to not have a penis bone.”
Penis bones are called baculum, and almost all the other mammals have them. They put the “bone” in boner by sliding into the shaft of the penis during an erection. Why other animals have them and why we don’t remains a mystery.

Gravity is actually slightly variable all over the world, largely due to differences in the amount of crust below any given point. One well-accepted idea is that the Hudson Bay area has less gravity (a VERY slight difference) because the crust below might be thinner — some deep crust of the Earth may have been pushed to the sides by the ice sheet that was there during the last ice age, giving the region less mass.
