Actually according to your source the eggs are pressure treated to make them infertile, but some are fertile by pure luck.

I learned that what in the US we call Super Mario Bros. 2 is actually not a Mario game at all.  I knew that in Japan SMB2 was The Lost Levels, but I thought it was just us not getting that game and not wanting to mess with the numbering here.  It turns out that SMB2 was some entirely different game that had an Arabian theme, and they just swapped out the characters for Mario ones.  They thought Lost Levels was too hard and American audiences wouldn't like it.  I always knew there was something REALLY off with SMB2 but I figured they just tried to take Mario in a new direction and it didn't go well.  Instead, it was just a gut feeling of the game not being what it was intended.

I know quite a bit of video game trivia so I'm pretty surprised that I had never heard about this before today!

yeah it's doki doki panic i'm pretty sure I honestly thought that was common knowledge 

Me neither but I've seen it said about a hundred times and I don't really hang out at a whole lot of games websites normally other than gw

I learned about hashtables and binary search trees..... hoping to play around with em in Java later.

gonna be honest and say thats an awesome cat and i wish i had it or any pet that was so weird but it's pretty fucked that the guy has shot 77 youtube videos of his cat, some of which do not even really have any focus besides HERES MY CAT SITTING DOWN.  like he doesnt do oddball cat shit in all the videos!  sometimes he just lies there for 45 seconds and you're just like why, tiny japanese man, why

whoa how did that cat get through the door? cats use eyes and whiskers for direction, but the airflow is blocked off and it can't see so how did it make it through all those doors?

hmm it looks like there's a tiny little hole at the top of the bag it must be seeing through.

Today I learned that Battletoads was originally going to be named Battlefrogs, then Battle Toad before the final name was decided. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battletoads)
