Another one which I'm sure many of you already know, but this was a mind blown moment when I found out:

X% of Y is the same as Y% of X, for example:

25% of 50 is 12.5 which is the same as 50% of 25... that's 12.5.

The town of Dinosaur, Colorado contains numerous road names named after dinosaurs, including Camptosaurus Crescent, Triceratops Terrace and Brontosaurus Boulevard.

(Rumours that Mr Tom Morrow was the original Mayor of Dinosaur are scurrilous and completely untrue.)
